Good service and fixed the problem.
Happy Drains did a great job, it was easy to book an appointment with them over the phone, their engineer got in touch direct he arrived on time and had the blocked drain fixed with no fuss. Also the price was really good and payment was made easy via the payment link/website. I would definitely recommend Happy Drains ?'? Justin

Happy Drains were recommended by a neighbour who was very pleased with the service she had received. The person on the phone was very helpful and courteous.

Customer in Hertford
Blocked waste pipes
I just wanted to say thank you for some free advice given to me this afternoon when I rang the Freephone number on your website. When I explained my problem, the advice given to me was to call my water company as the problem I had was probably their responsibility and not mine. This was, indeed, the case and Thames Water have just been and cleared the blockage in the shared pipes serving our few houses. You could have sent someone to clear the blockage and charged me accordingly, but you didn't and I want to thank you for your honesty, integrity and for the advice so freely given'

Drains Blocked
"Very Pleased with the service provided by Happy Drains - I've use them before because they are so good, quick and efficient - Oh and very reasonable compared to some Drain Cleaners we wont name them but you'll know who I mean. Happy Drains were out the day after Id emailed to say I had a problem with my outside drains completely backed up - not a pretty sight. They kept me advised when they were arriving and what to expect - the engineers were both very able and very friendly - they had the drains unblocked very quickly and with minimum fuss. Highly Recommend - I wouldn't use anyone else."
sink waste pipe blocked

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 "
