External drain clearance
"Very happy with the service I received. It wasn't a straightforward job but the guys didn't give up and eventually managed to clear the drain. They were exceptionally polite and professional despite the freezing temperature and rain. I would highly recommend this company "
Clogged kitchen sink pipe
"I was really glad with the service that they provided. They just sent someone the same day that I called ,and they were able to unclog the pipe within the same day. I was really happy, I wished that I would've called them sooner as I was trying for over a week to clear it myself without getting any results... and I also was really happy with the customer service and their payment method, It was really easy to pay with the link that they sent me and they charged me the amount that It was agreed by phone, without any extra fees... I definitely recommend it to everybody "
INitially cleared blockage but found root mass in the sewer so cleared that as well
"Not used this company before but when I was unable to clear a blockage in my sewer line I gave them a call. They were responsive and the engineer just got to work, identified where the sewer ran then blasted it clear. The sewer was running again within 15 mins. The knowledgeable engineer said he believed there were roots in the sewer as he could "feel" them. A camera run showed the root mass and where located. He blasted the roots from the inside then found that the majority were ingressing through the side of the sump on one of the manholes so cleared those too. Highly recommend this company"
Clearing drains
"Great communication, timing, quality of work and friendly people. Thank you."

sink waste pipe blocked
"I called happy drains with blocked sink waste, the receptionist arranged for the technicians to attend the following day informing me they would call me 30 minutes prior to arrival. The technicians did call me 30 minutes before arriving. They understood the difficulties involved with the blocked waste as the access was challenging and with patience and experience they unblocked the blockage. The guys were polite, tidy, on time, and knowledgeable. Will defiantly use happy drains again "
Drain clearance
"Happy Drains responded promptly to my request to unblock a drain. They have done the same for two neighbours now and have been recommended on our local WhatsApp. Came out same day, kept me updated on when they were coming. Good communication and were up front about cost. Cleared the drain, no issues. Payment was quick and easy via an invoice on completion with link in email - I paid via Apple Pay. "
Clearing a blocked outdoor kitchen drain
"The Happy Drains service was fantastic. Within half an hour of my calling, they had arrived and the chap was very helpful and polite. Nothing was too much trouble, and everything was taken care of in 20 minutes though it was a tough job. Good price with no hidden extras and completely fair - I can't recommend them highly enough! "
