Customer in Harpenden
Clear blocked drain.
This was the only firm I could find willing to quote a fixed fee for a blocked drain. Others will quote when they get here and/or add labour to the cost of using a high pressure hose. [I didn't want to have to haggle if they quoted a high price or turn them away and get another quote.] They gave me a time, turned up on time, fixed the blockage, charged the agreed fee and left no mess. A 'Ronseal' service.

Blocked drain/sewerage.
Excellent all round service and very reasonably priced.
Customer in Luton
Unblocked rain drain - the underground section leading to the soak-away - using high pressure water jet.
The work was carried out quickly and efficiently. I had also hoped to have a (missing) section of the down-pipe replaced, but apparently this was beyond the scope of what Happy Drains do - i.E. Drain clearing only.
Customer in Luton

The job was carried out very quickly and for the agreed price. He arrived on time and left the site clean afterwards.

Clearing drain blockage.
"Engineer arrived on time, he was very polite and worked quickly. He explained everything he had done to me and made sure I was perfectly happy before he left my house. I will definitely be recommending Happy Drains to my family and friends and would not hesitate to use them again."
Efficient professional service.

Drain unblock
"Great service from start to finish. Ordering the service was easy with the online form. The contact phone call early in the morning to confirm that Happy Drains rep would be with us between 0800-1200 was very comforting. The engineer himself was extremely professional and cleared the blockage very quickly. He then cleaned the whole system and ensured we had no other issues before he left. The cost of all this was very reasonable considering other comparable companies. Please pass on my thanks to all concerned. ?'??'??'?"
Happy drains for a happy life
"I've used Happy Drains for many years. From complicated jobs (rebuilding a damaged sewer drain) to just a quick unblock. The last job was a simple blocked main drain. They came in the afternoon, called ahead to tell me the time they would be arriving. It was a simple job but when you have a household using the shower and toilet it needed to be sorted. They are local, don't mess around and for the price, I've been charged more for less."

Clogged drain fixed fast
"We contacted Happy Drains on a Friday morning and at 2pm in the afternoon, an engineer was already working on solving our problem, locating the root cause and fixing it. The booking was fast, easy and professional. The work done was professional, fast and entirely satisfactory."
Main drain was completely blocked
"I called them in the morning. The person who answered was extremely nice, knowledgeable and helpful. An appointment was booked for that same afternoon. The engineer called 45mn before arriving and was right on time. He was very nice, polite and did a great job. They all made the costs very clear all along. My problem was solved, there no surprises with the price which was perfectly justified. I will definitely call them again if I have a problem again."
Effective, efficient and friendly.
"We got in touch with Happy Drains when both our basin and bath stopped draining completely. It was not an emergency but an employee visited us within two days, carried out the work quickly and effectively with a very friendly demeanour and only charged the amount agreed prior to his visit - no additional work was suggested or required. We will definitely keep their details should we ever need their services again."
