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.

Unblocked kitchen gulley
"Happy Drains were polite and had clear Pricing. The service was quick and very efficient. I am very happy with the work undertaken. Would highly recommend and it would use again. Upon completion an invoice was sent to me which I paid using Applepay which made things easier "
Kitchen Sink Drain Blockage
"Telephoned Happy Drains early morning. Was told a technician would come to me late afternoon. He arrived at 4pm after telephoning to advise his arrival time. He asked where the blockage was and then got on with clearing it. No time wasted. Once the U bend had been taken apart the blockage was sucked out. Then the U bend was reassembled to show me the blockage had been cleared. All done very efficiently and effectively with very little mess being caused. I was very pleased and impressed."

Blocked Soil Pipe
"This is a great Company. I called them at 10.30am to request a visit to sort out a blocked toilet system at my daughters place and the Engineer arrived at 3.00pm (within the time slot initially given). Within minutes he (Luke) had identified the issue and not long after, the blockage was cleared and a working toilet was restored. I would recommend these guys to anyone seeking a prompt service, provided by people who know exactly what they're doing."
