Outside drain blockage
"Quick response and kept me up to date with arrival time. Cleared the blocakage quickly, polite, freindly and gave me some really good advice on drain maintenance to avoid future issues. Excellent service, would definately use again!"
Drain issues
"We booked in a clean because our drain in the back garden smelled like rotting eggs. The technician took off the manhole cover and could see it was completely blocked. He had all the tools on hand to unblock the drain and it looks sparkling now. He was very knowledgable and we learned a lot about Victorian drains! Would definitely use again!"
Drain unblock
"Great service from start to finish. Ordering the service was easy with the online form. The contact phone call early in the morning to confirm that Happy Drains rep would be with us between 0800-1200 was very comforting. The engineer himself was extremely professional and cleared the blockage very quickly. He then cleaned the whole system and ensured we had no other issues before he left. The cost of all this was very reasonable considering other comparable companies. Please pass on my thanks to all concerned. ?'??'??'?"

Blocked drains
"We recently noticed our downstairs WC was not flushing properly, and our outside man hole, was flooding and smelt terribly. I got in contact with happy drains and they hooked someone in within the next 2 days as I requested. The guy came to site, and told me exactly what he was doing and what he thought the issue may be. He fixed it in great time and was very informative. I hope I don't need to call happy drains again, but if we ever need someone to help us in the future, we will look no further. 10/10"
