Blocked outside drain
"I phoned Happy Drains where the office manager arranged for a service call within a couple of hours. The two men arrived in no time, and took measures to clear the significant blockage, with diligence and humour. Efficient office management, alongside the job, with appropriate contact by email and messages, through to Invoice. Very pleased with the whole service. "

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 "
Happy drains made a happy customer
"Had a blocked down pipe that was causing gutter water to back up. Called Happy Drains on Friday afternoon and they sent someone out on Monday morning. Called prior to arrival and once he arrived he explained what he was going to do and what issues may transpire. Worked quickly and the drain was cleared in no time. Will definitely use Happy drains again if I ever have a drain problem."
