Unblock outside drain.
"I contacted Happy Drains early one morning and an appointment was made promptly for the afternoon of the same day. The drains technician contacted me to let me know he was on his way. He arrived on time, unblocked the drain, hosed down the area when he was finished and only left when I confirmed the work was completed satisfactorily."
Great experience
"Wayne was a lovely chap and very helpful. Cleared the drains swiftly and was excellent to deal with"
Clearance of blocked soak away
"Several people looked at the issue, suggesting that significant works may be needed to resolve. Spoke to Happy Drains, explained things well over the phone, suggested it may be a simple job to unblock it. Arrived quickly, did the job and all seems well. Very pleased"
Blocked drain
"Happy drains was very courteous right from 1st phone call to completion. The man that came was very professional, helpful. Cleaned up after himself and carried out several checks and didn't leave until he was satisfied the job was complete. I would highly recommend happy drains.. Thankyou. "

Unblocked a kitchen sink waste pipe
"The company was quick to respond to my initial call. The job was completed the following afternoon taking less than 15 minutes to complete. The technician was very polite and helpful. There was no call out fee or a dodgy plumber shaking his head for five minutes, making you think you've got a massive crisis on your hands. I will use this firm again in the future without doubt. "
Unblock drains in garden
"Informed me on the day of time of arrival. Came on time Fixed the problem quickly. Friendly service "
Outside drain unblocked
"I called Happy Drains to clear an outside drain at my father's property, which had become blocked. The friendly lady that answered the phone very helpfully managed to get someone to come the next morning. I received a call prior to the workmen arriving, which was reassuring. They were friendly and very efficient; 25 minutes after they arrived the problem was resolved; brilliant! I would highly recommend this company."
My unhappy drain is now delightful
"My stinky drain, was a source of shame. Seems its leaves to blame, but Happy Drains came and now its new name is Delightful Drain!! Excellent service, from start to finish. Friendly, informative, efficient and I would highly recommend to anyone who also wants a delightful drain :)"

Blocked kitchen drain cleared
"A difficult, awkward blockage below ground level was cleared efficiently."
Clear Kitchen Drain
"Very polite from asking if it was okay to park on the drive to explaining what the problem was, what he planned to do, showing the camera footage & clearing up & explaining guarantee. Invoice came through with amount advised. Would definitely use again. "
Blocked external drain
"I had a blocked drain (external to the property). I previously had someone to look at and they explained that the drain had likely collapsed and quoted to fix (over £1k). I thought I would double check. Happy Drains visited and drain was clear within minutes (blocked trap) with no requirement to dig up garden and replace drains (or use a camera). 60 day guarantee inc in case it blocks again. Engineer was polite, friendly, cleanly dressed and professional. As he said 25 years of experience. Great job, highly recommend (and I will be recommending further)."

Ilfracombe and Devon drain services from a firm receiving great feedback...

Great communication and fixed price drain clearance
"From the first phone call enquiring about drain clearance with Emily to the actual work being carried out was less than 3 hours. I knew immediately upfront what the cost would be and how much extra if a Saturday call out was needed. I was kept informed by phone and email and received a call from the engineers 30 mins prior to arrival. They very quickly identified and cleared the problem clearing up any slight mess they made. Hope not to need this service again but if I do would Happily use Happy drains again."
Unblock Drain
"Communication was before & after the work. Wayne was very friendly & did an excellent job."
Blocked outside drains
