Unblocking Drain
"Contacted Happy Drains via email on Sunday due to a blockage. We received a response on Monday morning. All costs etc were made very clear. Richard from Happy Drains arrived within a couple of hours. He was extremely professional, courteous and respectful of our property when carrying out the work. Once finished he carefully explained what the issue was and remedial action needed. Very Happy and would we thoroughly recommend them. Thank you!"
Sewer clearance
"I was able to get an appointment very quickly and the work was carried out in very professional manner. "
Blocked drain
"Martin arrived on time, having let me know he was on the way. He quickly got to work and within minutes it was all sorted. He also kindly cleaned up the mess on my patio (the drains had overflowed during heavy rain, leaving it covered in sewage.) As I don't have access to the communal drain (he had to do it from my neighbour's), he even got out a metal detector to locate where my access shaft is (under the patio). Overall, Martin was thoroughly helpful and professional. I must also say of Happy Drains that they answer the phone quickly, and the lady I spoke to was helpful and courteous."
Unblocking kitchen sink drain
"Wonderful service! Having rung two other plumbers who were not available, I then rang Happy Drains. They were friendly and helpful and their plumber came within a few hours and unblocked our drain. Highly recommended!"

The technicians did call me 30 minutes before arriving. They understood the difficulties involved with the blocked waste as the access was challenging and with patience and experience they unblocked the blockage. The guys were polite, tidy, on time, and knowledgeable. Will defiantly use happy drains again "

And cleared it completely, in 15-20 minutes. He left the area 100% clean and tidy and finally, offered us some useful advice on managing the drain going forward. Could not have been a better customer experience and we'd recommend to anyone."
