Blocked drain

"Martin arrived on time, having let me know he was on the way. He quickly got to work and within minutes it was all sorted. He also kindly cleaned up the mess on my patio (the drains had overflowed during heavy rain, leaving it covered in sewage.) As I don't have access to the communal drain (he had to do it from my neighbour's), he even got out a metal detector to locate where my access shaft is (under the patio). Overall, Martin was thoroughly helpful and professional. I must also say of Happy Drains that they answer the phone quickly, and the lady I spoke to was helpful and courteous."

Unblocked a gullley drain

"The man was extremely calm and cheerful and went out of his way, even in pouring rain to clear my drain. I had limited access as the neighbour had built an extension over the manhole, but it didn't phase him and he completed the job."

Kitchen sink drain cleared

"The engineer from Happy Drains cleared my slow running kitchen sink drain in minutes. The plumbing is not straightforward but he saw the issue and cleared the blockage very quickly without wasting time. He was very thorough and cleaned up afterwards. My sink now drains faster than it has in years and I am very happy. I was told exactly how much it would cost beforehand, so no hidden extras, plus the engineer offered a 28 day call back for free if the issue wasn't resolved. "

Blocked Soak Away

"Company was able to give me an appointment next morning. Engineer called to tell me his arrival time. Very courteous and polite. Quickly got on with the job. Explained what he would be doing. He used a high power jet washer and hosed down all the affected areas. Gave me advice on how to prevent a recurrence. He was then able to issue an on-line invoice for the fixed price I was quoted. Total time taken for the job was abot 45minutes. Very pleased with the service, price and quality of the work. I would highly reccommend."
