Customer in East Finchley
Happy Days Happy Drains.
There have been issues with our block's communal drain since 2017. Six blockages have resulted in dramatic floods that threatened to swamp the three basement flats in sewage. A different company couldn't do much as it was a 'communal drain', Thames Water couldn't do much as it wasn't 'their drain', the Residents Association wouldn't do much as they didn't want to spend much money - so had a prod with a rod every now and then. Happy Drains unblocked yet another block and importantly jet washed away troublesome, water flow slowing debris, and all for £150. Happy days Happy Drains!
Customer in East Finchley

Customer in East Finchley
Clearing a blocked drain
Happy Drains came at a time convenient for us, their cheerful person cleared our drain, took action to make sure it wouldn't happen again and the company charged us exactly what they said, without adding hundreds of pounds in unexpected costs like one of the big names did when they failed to do the job properly four months ago.

Clearing a stubborn blockage.
I've used Happy Drains at work to unblock drains so when my house drain had a stubborn blockage (I tried bleach, Jeyes Heavy Duty Drain Unblocker, a stick), I thought they may be worthwhile calling. The job was done quickly and professionally, and I was able to settle the bill easily thereafter electronically (they emailed me an invoice for payment once all the work had been completed). Great service and would recommend to others.

Drain clearance
"I have used Happy Drains before, and again they provided an excellent service from the original phone call right up to the finished job. We were out when they arrived, and just got back after they finished, but after a mobile phone call they proceeded immediately. Everything was tidy, clean and in place on our return, so if you have a problem of this nature, I can honestly recommend Happy Drains 100%. Finally the cost of £114 was real value for money."
