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."
Blocked outside drain
"Two engineers arrived less than an hour after my phone call. They were very helpful and informative and completed the job extremely efficiently. Pricing fair. Would definitely use again. "

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. "
Drain clearance
"Excellent service. He phoned to let me know he was coming, and then cleared the drain very quickly and professionally. He cleared everything up after he had finished. Would highly recommend "
Drain was blocked - required unblocking.
"Happy Drains make it easy to arrange getting a blocked drain unblocked. We have used them several times and would highly recommend them. The communication is helpful, friendly and information is reliable. Once job is done, feedback is received which would help should a future problem arise. "
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."

Drain Unblocking
"Fantastic, prompt service, our engineer was extremely thorough and very friendly. We had a bit a tricky blockage and have an unusual drainage system but he made sure it was all sorted. Would highly recommend! Thanks. "
Unblock an outside drain
"The staff at the office very kind and well spoken.. The work was completed on time. Invoice sent on email with photographs before the job and after the work was completed. Perfect as I am a landlord and can't always attend when the repairs are taking place to see what was done. Thanks to happy drains I'm a happy landlord until the next job?... "
Blocked external drain
"I had a blocked drain (external to the property). I previously had someone to look at and they explained that the drain had likely collapsed and quoted to fix (over £1k). I thought I would double check. Happy Drains visited and drain was clear within minutes (blocked trap) with no requirement to dig up garden and replace drains (or use a camera). 60 day guarantee inc in case it blocks again. Engineer was polite, friendly, cleanly dressed and professional. As he said 25 years of experience. Great job, highly recommend (and I will be recommending further)."
