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!"
Investigate and Clear External. Blocked Drain
"Was a great experience. Easy to organise. A touch late on the day but was kept informed.. Joe was great where he turned up. Explained everything and didn't upsell unnecessarily. Was efficient, polite and friendly. Great all round. Nice report/record at the end of it. Great contrast to some of the trade service experiences that you can have quite often. "

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. "

Kitchen sink not running away
"Rapid response, friendly and reliable workmen, came and did exactly what they said. Follow up afterwards was excellent!"
Drainage survey
"Honestly the most efficient business I have come across. Called up and had a drainage survey booked in within 5 minutes at a very reasonable price. Jason who conducted the survey was very polite and helpful and William was great with getting the survey over to me in a very timely manner. Would highly recommend."
Clearing drain blockage.
"Engineer arrived on time, he was very polite and worked quickly. He explained everything he had done to me and made sure I was perfectly happy before he left my house. I will definitely be recommending Happy Drains to my family and friends and would not hesitate to use them again."
Foul smell in bathroom
"I had a disgusting smell of sewage coming through my pipes in the bathroom, after trying to solve the problem myself unsuccessfully i called Happy Drains and Alex arrived as planned, as soon as he flushed the loo he knew instantly what the problem was - a blockage in the pipes. To say he solved my problem is an understatement, he went to both of my neighbours to check their drains until he found the blockage and then went ahead and flushed the pipes through. He was a true gentleman, polite, funny and very caring. I highly recommend this company and especially Alex. Thank you Alex"
