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