Quality work from Happy Drains.
Excellent service from start to finish with Happy Drains. Would highly recommend the company to others. Quality work carried out on site, was kept informed along the way, work completed to a high standard and was checked and rechecked before leaving site. They even cleared up the broken and damaged drain parts and made area looking good again before leaving. Felt pricing was fair given the work involved and happily paid the bill the same day as felt confident in the workmanship.
Customer in Matlock
Fair set price, no funny business just a great and reliable service.
Brilliant as always. I've used Happy drains on many occasions for my holiday let properties and here is why - they charge a flat fee and never have a problem spending a little extra time if required, they are always professional and arrive on time and with the required equipment and always get the job done. If they can't fix it straight away they are quick with the CCTV to diagnose without charging silly money. They are honest, reliable and that is why I only use happy drains.

Retrieving ring from a drain.
Service was great from start to finish. The team arranged to get to me quickly and kept me informed by phone. The plumber was friendly and positive despite a tricky situation - he was creative with his solution and managed to retrieve my ring which was of great sentimental value. He also took care to clean up afterwards, I couldn't recommend Happy Drains more highly and will certainly use them again.

Heavily blocked waste pipes.
Fantastic service and employees. Arranging the appointment was exceptionally easy as the people on the phones were friendly and efficient. Jason from Happy Drains arrived on time and even called ahead to let us know exactly when he'd be arriving. Jason was polite and friendly from beginning to end. He sorted out the problem far quicker than expected considering the dire state of the blockage. After he'd done a wonderful job he then explained exactly how it had happened in detail, what needed to be fixed and told me some preventative measures to help avoid the problem from recurring until then.

Houghton Le Spring CCTV Drain Survey & Drainage Investigation
Tyne and Wear, DH4
In Houghton Le Spring we are particularly good at drain surveys and investigations
There’s no doubt about it, moving home is expensive, and Houghton Le Spring Home Buyer’s structural surveys used to be relatively straightforward.
A building surveyor would attend the Houghton Le Spring house you were going to buy and undertake inspection, ranging from the entry level ‘valuation’ up to the ‘full structural’, none of which were cheap. The majority of buyers would opt for the entry level and least expensive option their mortgage lender would accept in Houghton Le Spring Tyne and Wear DH4. Against a backdrop of litigation and a compensation culture, surveyors have had no choice but to add disclaimers about anything he or she can’t actually see or inspect, especially underground services like drains.
Hence the recent additional need of a specialist drainage survey for Houghton Le Spring properties.
Is your Houghton Le Spring property served by a septic tank or a sewage treatment plant?
If so, are you aware of all the Houghton Le Spring area environmental and building regulations?
More importantly, do you know if your Houghton Le Spring system is compliant with the new regulatory reform called the Small Sewage Discharge General Binding Rules?

Arranged for someone to call round between 1 and 3. I arrived home at 12.55 to find them patiently waiting outside. They were very friendly and helpful. Did a thorough job clearing the drain, lifting the manhole cover and making sure the water was flowing freely. I was delighted with their service and would definitely recommend them."

Happy drains - highly recommend
"Had a blocked sink pipe. Called a few companies, these guys were responsive on a Sunday, came out the next day, the chap called me when he was an hour away. When he arrived he was incredibly friendly and helpful. Fixed the issue and even got a message afterwards checking everything went well. 10/10 customer service and the price they offered was the most competitive. Would highly recommend."
Quickest and easiest unblocking i've seen!
"After so many expensive quotes from other companies regarding a clogged drain outside our kitchen window - Happy Drains answered our questions on Checkatrade and gave us a set quote - After talking to them on the phone, the team were kind, honest and fully transparent about how the day would go - One of their team members (unfortunately didn't get his name) came over, took one look at the drain, unblocked it and was on his merry way! Will definitely be recommending this company to friends and family!! Thank you so much team! "
