Good service and fixed the problem.
Happy Drains did a great job, it was easy to book an appointment with them over the phone, their engineer got in touch direct he arrived on time and had the blocked drain fixed with no fuss. Also the price was really good and payment was made easy via the payment link/website. I would definitely recommend Happy Drains ?'? Justin

Called Happy Drains as although drain wasn't blocked it was smelling and there were drains flies. Excellent communication from all, keeping me informed as to time etc. They came the next day, on time, and hosed the drains out. Very nice guy, did the job efficiently, left drain clean and running freely, and within a few days 99% of the drains flies were gone. Highly recommend.

Main soil pipe blokage was cleared.
"Professional, courteous and reliable. The call was booked with a friendly and professional demeanour. The tradesman who visited was clear in explaining what was required and the work that was carried out after he'd completed it. The blockage was mainly due to a build up of limescale over a very long period of time and was cleared quickly and effectively. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Happy Drains."
Blocked kitchen drain
"The amazing reviews of Happy Drains seem well warranted. Our experience was beyond excellent. Fantastic customer service, friendly, efficient and effective service. Had someone with us in less than an hour. Fixed issue, and cleaned up, then even checked an upstairs sink for us too. Ours was a small job yet I felt like a valued customer from the first call. I cant really recommend highly enough."
Clearing a blocked manhole
"Tommy was excellent. Rang and got a same day appointment. Phoned ahead to confirm arrival time. Unlocked the drain quickly with a rod but followed up by jetting the drain to make sure it was entirely clear. Provided a number of good tips on how to avoid future blockage. Tommy was polite friendly and very efficient."
Drainage survey
"Honestly the most efficient business I have come across. Called up and had a drainage survey booked in within 5 minutes at a very reasonable price. Jason who conducted the survey was very polite and helpful and William was great with getting the survey over to me in a very timely manner. Would highly recommend."

Unblocked drain

"Engineer arrived on time, he was very polite and worked quickly. He explained everything he had done to me and made sure I was perfectly happy before he left my house. I will definitely be recommending Happy Drains to my family and friends and would not hesitate to use them again."
Blocked drain
"Amazing service. I couldn't recommend these guys highly enough. I don't have his name but the young man who came took well over 2 hours to fix our problem which had accumulated over 40 years. He kept everything tidy, was courteous and professional and just when I thought we were going to be left with a major problem his persistence & experience saved the day. "

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 toilet and drain.

Quality work from Happy Drains.
"Excellent service from start to finish with Happy Drains. Would highly recommend the company to others. Quality work carried out on site, was kept informed along the way, work completed to a high standard and was checked and rechecked before leaving site. They even cleared up the broken and damaged drain parts and made area looking good again before leaving. Felt pricing was fair given the work involved and happily paid the bill the same day as felt confident in the workmanship."
