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.

Blocked drains
"We recently noticed our downstairs WC was not flushing properly, and our outside man hole, was flooding and smelt terribly. I got in contact with happy drains and they hooked someone in within the next 2 days as I requested. The guy came to site, and told me exactly what he was doing and what he thought the issue may be. He fixed it in great time and was very informative. I hope I don't need to call happy drains again, but if we ever need someone to help us in the future, we will look no further. 10/10"
Blocked drains
"Very helpful telephone call with Laura on Friday resulting in Damien coming first thing on Saturday to successfully unblock my drains. They are a very pleasant company to deal with and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone needing help in clearing their drains."
Blocked kitchen sink drain
"I noticed that the patio was awash with soapy water and realised that the drain leading from the kitchen sink was blocked and overflowing. I phoned Happy Drains and they were so helpful. 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."
Back garden drain unblocked
"The challenge was to unblock my drain in the back garden with no rear access. All equipment needed to be brought through the house. It was too much of a risk to use a pressure washer for a single crew. However the engineer fully cleared the drain using his available tools/ equipment."

Kitchen drain not clearing outside.
"After trying to clear outside gully by hand, I feared a major underground issue. After seeing good reviews, I called Happy Drains Norwich. A non urgent visit was agreed 8am-12. On the day, He called to advise on the way. Shortly after, he called again to advise that he had to attend an emergency and would it be OK in 1 hour. I agreed and he arrived in originally agreed time window. Relying on experience, he determined that the gully outlet was in a surprise position and he removed bits of concrete and old fat. Quick job but fee was ok for his experience and his very flexible wrists!"
Unblock an outside pipe
"Unfortunately the pipe was blocked with concrete which appears to have happened when the garden fence was erected. However, the tradesman wrote the reason it was blocked on the invoice which helped when I contacted the tradesmen who erected the fence."
Clearing blocked drain
"Very professional approach to addressing a challenging job efficiently. "
Blocked drain cleared
"Blocked drain was cleaned out and working again in no time at all . The appointment was made over the phone and the engineer rang when he was on his way . He used a high pressure jet and left everything tidy. "

Unblock toilet
"Unplugging the toilet went really quickly, such a nice informative man."
UNBLOCK OUTSIDE DRAINS
"This company has provided excellent first class service. DYNO ROD previously accepted our request to clear but on New Year's Eve morning declined as they were too busy and couldn't reach us until after New Year. Found HAPPY DRAINS on line, phoned and the contact was excellent, arranged a visit within an hour. Engineer arrived well within this time span was brilliant, cleared the problem quickly and efficiently. Based upon this work we would HIGHLY RECOMMEND HAPPY DRAINS and have logged their number in our Contacts folder for any future problems, THANK YOU."
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! "

"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."
