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.

We had Arran come round to unblock our toilet after I tried all the usual DIY attempts. He explained everything fully, told us the options and tried everything possible without going in to the more costly fixes.

He explained how to prevent it happening again and had a great chat about other DIY things around the house. Definitely would recommend.

Amazing service. I couldn't recommend these guys highly enough. I don't have his name but the young man who came took well over 2 hours to fix our problem which had accumulated over 40 years.

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

Fair set price, no funny business just a great and reliable service.
"Brilliant as always. I've used Happy drains on many occasions for my holiday let properties and here is why - they charge a flat fee and never have a problem spending a little extra time if required, they are always professional and arrive on time and with the required equipment and always get the job done. If they can't fix it straight away they are quick with the CCTV to diagnose without charging silly money. They are honest, reliable and that is why I only use happy 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."
Resolved blocked toilet
"We reached out in the late morning and the issue was resolved by 3:30pm the same day. Very quick and efficient service, the engineer was very polite and friendly. Will definitely use again if further issues arise."
