The friendly lady that answered the phone very helpfully managed to get someone to come the next morning. I received a call prior to the workmen arriving, which was reassuring.

DrainChecker customers just LOVE our drainage services...

No fuss. On time. Job done.
"Very easy to organise the appointment to unblock a drain that we had tried and failed to clear ourselves. They were reasonably priced, stuck to their quote, the engineer was very personable, paid for their own parking and explained the issue! That's all I ask from a service company. Thank you Happy Drains."
Unblock Drain
"Communication was before & after the work. Wayne was very friendly & did an excellent job."
Partially blocked soil pipe.
"Glad I called Happy Drains when I got an issue with my downstairs toilet overflowing! Damian attended within 24 hours and got straight to it, no fuss, no "hmmmm... (you know what comes next) deep breath intake, etc..). Damian was a pro and worked his way round the problem until it got done. I'm not squeamish for these kind of jobs but I soon realised that blocked drains require professional equipment and experience! Happy customer"
Drain clearance
"I called Happy Drains to attend to an overflowing drain manhole in our front drive. Their response on the telephone was prompt, courteous and helpful. Their engineer arrived slightly earlier than arranged, after telephoning to confirm that this would be acceptable. He fixed the problem in less than 30 minutes, and checked that everything was satisfactory before leaving. "

Blocked drains
"This was carried out for my 87yo mother, who lives 200miles from me. Your plumber was fantastic and really put my mother at ease. He was kind, understanding of my mother's vulnerability and highly professional. He went way beyond what might normally be expected. In an age where the elderly can be taken advantage of, I can only highly recommend Happy Drains as top class and value for money. "
Blocked drain cleared
"Blocked drain was cleaned out and working again in no time at all . The appointment was made over the phone and the engineer rang when he was on his way . He used a high pressure jet and left everything tidy. "
Unlocking of sewage drains
"Turned up when stated, gave a courtesy call to let me know they would be here within half an hour. Completed work with no fuss. Came through the house to check back drain to ensure job done, took shoes off without being asked. Quick, professional, friendly and polite. Also a HUGE positive they charge a set fee for the job regardless of time completed rather than those that charge per half hour."

Blocked drain
"My drain was blocked and I had previously called a different company to clear it but they were unsuccessful, I called happy drains and they arranged to send someone the following day. Martin arrived and managed to find the cause of the blockage and cleared it quickly and efficiently, keeping me updated with what he was doing and the root cause of the problem. Fantastic service from Martin and the team at happy drains, I will definitely be using them again in future if I have any similar issues and will not use anyone else again."
