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.

Blocked drain from the kitchen sink.

"We had a blockage under the house on the drain that runs from the kitchen sink. A friend who is actually an engineer who specifies drains sad he had used Happy Drains and they were good. The engineer arrived on time and used his camera to locate the blockage which was fat and some sort of sauce that had congealed in the drain. He then used a high pressure water lance to loosen the deposit and then wash it out of the drain. All done in about 50 mins. The fixed fee of £95 plus Vat means you know where you stand and you also get a 60 day guarantee. I would definitely use Happy Drains again."

Drain clearing

"Exceptional service in every way. The engineer must be a true asset."

Unblocking exterior drain

"We had a blocked surface-water drain in our lightwell. The team pulled out a lot of silt and managed to unblock it. They took away the silt and hosed down the area afterwards so it was clean. They explained how we could prevent this happening again to some extent and how to do the job ourselves should it recur. The guys were friendly and helpful."

Unblocking waste pipes

"A good job done and with sound advice on what to do next with the pipework and drains. A really friendly, professional service."
