Blocked outside drain
"I phoned Happy Drains where the office manager arranged for a service call within a couple of hours. The two men arrived in no time, and took measures to clear the significant blockage, with diligence and humour. Efficient office management, alongside the job, with appropriate contact by email and messages, through to Invoice. Very pleased with the whole service. "
Highly recommended
"Came out the same day. Charged a good price and cleared the drain very quickly."
Drain clearance
"I have used Happy Drains before, and again they provided an excellent service from the original phone call right up to the finished job. We were out when they arrived, and just got back after they finished, but after a mobile phone call they proceeded immediately. Everything was tidy, clean and in place on our return, so if you have a problem of this nature, I can honestly recommend Happy Drains 100%. Finally the cost of £114 was real value for money."
Bathroom toilet
"Opened the door to a very nice man, he fixed my very blocked toilet, but I forgot to ask his name, will call Happy Drains Ltd again if needed, very pleased with work and price. Thank you, Mrs Cooper"

Fast response and effective work
"Called out Happy Drains for an urgent drain clearance. Arrived within 90 minutes and found and fixed the problem straight away. I would definitely recommend and use them again"
Bathroom drain unblocked
"The gent from Happy drains arrived promptly, explained what he planned to do, and resolved the issue quicker than expected. It was a smooth and friendly process and I'm very happy with the outcome."
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."
Clearing a blocked manhole
"Tommy was excellent. Rang and got a same day appointment. Phoned ahead to confirm arrival time. Unlocked the drain quickly with a rod but followed up by jetting the drain to make sure it was entirely clear. Provided a number of good tips on how to avoid future blockage. Tommy was polite friendly and very efficient. "

Clearing out storm drains on sunken patio
"Very pleased. Harry arrived and assessed problem. Very honest and told me he could only guarantee a 50% sucess rate. On completion he seemed as happy as I was that the issue was resolved. Lovely personable guy. Thanks"
Sewer blocked
"Courteous chap turned up first thing the next day and quickly sorted the blockage. One of their simpler jobs, I'm sure, but I was pleased to get it sorted ASAP."
Blocked drain
"We rang Happy Drains and were told someone would come round the next day and he arrived promptly at 8.30. He got straight to work and the drain was cleared. He cleared away all debris and swept and washed the patio where it affected. Excellent service and friendly staff."

Blocked Drain
"End to end customer service is excellent, Chris the engineer was brilliant! very knowledgeable and honest, has saved me thousands of pounds by providing an alternative solution to resolve the issue, would highly recommend Happy Drains again and they will be doing my further works, thanks for the excellent service!"
Kitchen drain Blocked
"I had a big block on my kitchen drain. My kitchen is the result of a garage conversion with long drains and hard access. Happy drains came after a few hours from my call and fixed the problem. They had to open an access on the laundry and charged a reasonable amount to do that. Very happy and would call them again!"
Flooded/partly blocked drain in kitchen.
"Phone was answered quickly when I rang up and explained the problem. I was called back pretty quickly with an estimated arrival time of between 11 and 3, in fact help arrived before 11. The problem was explained and assessed, and work began straight away. It took about 15 minutes or so and I was shown water draining from sink into manhole, blockage removed! Really quick, efficient job, I couldn't be happier."
