Bath Sink/Pipe Issue
Rang up pm was told what it would cost so no surprises, arranged visit for next day am, operative rang to tell me his arrival time. He arrived on time did a quick survey of the problem and got on and solved the issue. At the end showed me pictures of the limescale which had blocked the pipe. Left with sink/drain running well. What more can you ask!!
Customer in East Ham
A Well Done Job

Customer in Upminster
Drain unblocked
Arrived on time. Explained the issue. Cleared in 10 mins. Excellent. However, little over priced.
Customer in Basildon
Great communication and fixed price drain clearance
From the first phone call enquiring about drain clearance with Emily to the actual work being carried out was less than 3 hours. I knew immediately upfront what the cost would be and how much extra if a Saturday call out was needed. I was kept informed by phone and email and received a call from the engineers 30 mins prior to arrival. They very quickly identified and cleared the problem clearing up any slight mess they made. Hope not to need this service again but if I do would Happily use Happy drains again.

Happy Drains = Happy Homeowner
Fantastic service, drain was unblocked in no time. Mark was fantastic and professional. Thank you, price was great with no hidden cost. I had a builder who advised they may have to lift the tiles to get to the drain, luckily escaped that as I would have had to replace the entire kitchen

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.
Customer in Orpington
Unblocking of drain/sewage pipe
The drain engineer arrived punctually. He made the area safe for passers by, as the drain hole cover was in the pavement outside in the street. He cleared the immediate blockage with a rod but then used the power water jet to flush out the whole pipe and clear away the accumulated grease and fat causing the blockage. At one point he practically disappeared inside the drain to remove a ball of fat with his hand! He was extremely thorough and efficient and left the drain sparkling clean! He was polite and friendly throughout. An overall top notch service!
Customer in Loughton

Drain unblocked without an issue
Noticed a blocked drain over the weekend. Booked an appointment for Monday and the guy did it professionally. It turned out to be a slightly bigger job as the blockage was in the neighbours drain so the guy helpfully unblocked their drain as well. Would definitely recommend this company and I will be using them in the future too.

UNBLOCK OUTSIDE DRAINS
This company has provided excellent first class service. DYNO ROD previously accepted our request to clear but on New Year's Eve morning declined as they were too busy and couldn't reach us until after New Year. Found HAPPY DRAINS on line, phoned and the contact was excellent, arranged a visit within an hour. Engineer arrived well within this time span was brilliant, cleared the problem quickly and efficiently. Based upon this work we would HIGHLY RECOMMEND HAPPY DRAINS and have logged their number in our Contacts folder for any future problems, THANK YOU.

Customer in Grays
Clearing a blocked / slow draining kitchen sink
I called Happy drains regarding my blocked sink which has started blocking my dishwasher too.I think I must have spoken to Emily at Customer service and she was very polite and explained the process to me. I got a plumber in my house in less that 2 hours! He managed to unblock the pipes super quick and made sure to clean any spillages left after. I am extremely happy with the service I have gotten as I am always so scared that am going to be overcharged over something I don't understand. The process was simple, affordable and quick. I would recommend and go back if needed.
