Blocked kitchen sink drain
"I noticed that the patio was awash with soapy water and realised that the drain leading from the kitchen sink was blocked and overflowing. I phoned Happy Drains and they were so helpful. Arranged for someone to call round between 1 and 3. I arrived home at 12.55 to find them patiently waiting outside. They were very friendly and helpful. Did a thorough job clearing the drain, lifting the manhole cover and making sure the water was flowing freely. I was delighted with their service and would definitely recommend them."

Blocked main drain.
"Spoke to Jane at the reading branch at approx 10-30, told me the price before work started and Richard arrived approx 12 noon within an hour all cleared and flushed through. Richard was very professional in his work, and made sure all the hatches were battened down after he finished. Will recommend Happy Drains to everyone. The price is very resonable."

Their service is very reliable and reasonably priced and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. "

Blocked drain that runs under house.
"Had a blockage from the sink drain that runs under my house. Called at 9:05 and engineer arrived within 3 hours and got the problem sorted within 25 mins of arrival making myself and my drain happy. Had the same done 3 years ago and cost nearly double with one of the larger companies so decided to go local and worked out well on all fronts. "
Drain clearance
"I have used Happy Drains before, and again they provided an excellent service from the original phone call right up to the finished job. We were out when they arrived, and just got back after they finished, but after a mobile phone call they proceeded immediately. Everything was tidy, clean and in place on our return, so if you have a problem of this nature, I can honestly recommend Happy Drains 100%. Finally the cost of £114 was real value for money."
Outside drain blocked and overflowing.
"Happy Drains came when arranged, with a call ahead to give 30 minutes' notice of arrival. Their lovely gentleman assessed the blockage, explained what it was and how caused. And cleared it completely, in 15-20 minutes. He left the area 100% clean and tidy and finally, offered us some useful advice on managing the drain going forward. Could not have been a better customer experience and we'd recommend to anyone."
