Blocked toilet
We recently moved into a property and the downstairs toilet was blocked (typical!) we called Happy Drains who unblocked my drain despite the additional challenge of having to get to it via the decking. (So consequently had to cut through the wood) The lovely guy tackled it straight away rather than having to rebook another day. Great service, here bang on time and the pricing is all very clear I know who to contact if I have any other drainage problems and will definitely recommend! Thanks Happy Drains!

Clearance of drains
After being let down by another provider, we were super pleased to get someone out to look at our drains the same afternoon as us getting in contact. What really stood out though was the additional insight and expertise, not just clearing the drain but identifying a major fault missed by our previous supplier. We now know next steps to fix problem and save ourselves money in the long run as well as get some peace of mind. Reassuring that it didn't feel like "just a job" but care and interest was taken to make sure we get the right result.

Blocked grey waste drain
What a tremendous service ! The lady receptionist was great and within 10 mins of my call the service engineer phoned me. He, Brendan, arrived in under an hour. Brendan was so cheery and within minutes had identified and took time explaining the problem. He soon had the blockage removed. After thoroughly checking the flow was perfect he left the site clean and tidy. What a fantastic all round service, thank you.

Blocked downstairs WC indicated a bigger problem
Happy Drains responded promptly to my request to clear the blocked downstairs WC. Operative came the next morning and went straight to the inspection cover outside. With some difficulty lifted he the cover and found a tree root had intruded causing the blockage. This was quickly cleared and a healthy flow restored. Thanks to their quick and effective response a problem with waste drainage from the whole house was averted. The operative was helpful and the administration of the job efficient. I wouldn't hesitate to call Happy Drains again.

Although the engineer was caught up on another job, communication from the company was good and the engineer turned up earlier than planned! Very helpful and courteous. The engineer explained what he was doing and why. He ensured everything was put back in place and clean. Very thorough.

Severe drain blockage cleared fast
"We used the Basingstoke branch, and I couldn't be happier. We had a severe blockage in our main waste pipe due to previous owners dumping grease for years. I called in the morning, they came just after lunch. The engineer was friendly and knowledgeable and explained every step thoroughly, cheerfully answering my questions (I'm curious about everything) and did the job quickly and with a great sense of humour, letting me fill the fatburgs that flowed out. Price was brilliant too. Couldn't recommend enough. "
Would recommend Happy Drains.
"Rang Happy Drains for help with blocked drains. They gave me a date and time when engineers would come out together with a quote. All went well, turned up on time explained the procedure and the extra work that would be needed, was kept informed during the time they were here and they worked hard to unblock the drains. Engineers disinfected the area inside and out before they left. Would recommend Happy Drains."

Cleared blocked drain
"Was on time - phoned when on the way - and did the job professionally "
Fair set price, no funny business just a great and reliable service.
"Brilliant as always. I've used Happy drains on many occasions for my holiday let properties and here is why - they charge a flat fee and never have a problem spending a little extra time if required, they are always professional and arrive on time and with the required equipment and always get the job done. If they can't fix it straight away they are quick with the CCTV to diagnose without charging silly money. They are honest, reliable and that is why I only use happy drains."
