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. "
Unblocking a foul waste pipe outside the house
"He kept us informed by phone when he was going to arrive. He was extremely cheerful, very practical and had everything done within no time. If I ever need this sort of service again, I would definitely use Happy Drains again. Professional, completely honest and swift."
Blocked drains
"We recently noticed our downstairs WC was not flushing properly, and our outside man hole, was flooding and smelt terribly. I got in contact with happy drains and they hooked someone in within the next 2 days as I requested. The guy came to site, and told me exactly what he was doing and what he thought the issue may be. He fixed it in great time and was very informative. I hope I don't need to call happy drains again, but if we ever need someone to help us in the future, we will look no further. 10/10"

Cleaning out drains & clean-up
"Wonderful service. Super friendly customer service, who picked up immediately and got me booked in, they were flexible with timings. They came on time, were quick and efficient and left everything tidy and clean. It was a difficult and smelly job since the drains were very blocked up. SO appreciate the wonderful service, could not recommend more!"
Foul smell in bathroom
"I had a disgusting smell of sewage coming through my pipes in the bathroom, after trying to solve the problem myself unsuccessfully i called Happy Drains and Alex arrived as planned, as soon as he flushed the loo he knew instantly what the problem was - a blockage in the pipes. To say he solved my problem is an understatement, he went to both of my neighbours to check their drains until he found the blockage and then went ahead and flushed the pipes through. He was a true gentleman, polite, funny and very caring. I highly recommend this company and especially Alex. Thank you Alex"
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."
