Blocked drain.
"I was kept informed before, during and after the process. The work was done in quick time and pictures sent to confirm the issue. Seeing the reason of blockage and then the after photo was helpful. Great job"

Blocked drain
"Martin arrived on time, having let me know he was on the way. He quickly got to work and within minutes it was all sorted. He also kindly cleaned up the mess on my patio (the drains had overflowed during heavy rain, leaving it covered in sewage.) As I don't have access to the communal drain (he had to do it from my neighbour's), he even got out a metal detector to locate where my access shaft is (under the patio). Overall, Martin was thoroughly helpful and professional. I must also say of Happy Drains that they answer the phone quickly, and the lady I spoke to was helpful and courteous."
Outside drain blocked
"Called about a rental property late afternoon, was answered straight away. They were there the next morning. I wasnt there but tennant says was happy with tidiness and courtesy. "

"Alex showed up to the house, had a quick look and knew what the issue was and how to proceed. He was quick with clearing out blockage and made sure that everything was running smoothly.

Halstead and Essex drain services from a firm receiving great feedback...

5* Service was Over and Above expectation.
"This is the second time I have used Happy Drains the Service provided last time was superb. This time it was even better! With no appointments available to clear my elderly mothers blocked toilet, Happy Drains rearranged a schedule to conduct the work to limit inconvenience. Joe attended and was absolutely first class keeping me updated directly at the request of my confused elderly mother. It is so reassuring to be kept informed of the detail when you are 80 miles away so I could explain it in simple terms to my mother, I recommend Happy Drains 100% and commend Joe for the 5* Service."
If only all companies were like this...
"Great business to deal with...just use these guys you won't be disappointed..."

He offered advice on keeping the drains clear in future and made sure the area was clean and tidy before he left. I have no hesitation in recommending this firm."
