Fast Effective Drain Clearance
"Damian arrived promptly and cleared the blocked drain quickly and efficiently. He also provided some useful feedback on the cause of the problem. Based on this experience I would recommend this company."
Unlocking of sewage drains
"Turned up when stated, gave a courtesy call to let me know they would be here within half an hour. Completed work with no fuss. Came through the house to check back drain to ensure job done, took shoes off without being asked. Quick, professional, friendly and polite. Also a HUGE positive they charge a set fee for the job regardless of time completed rather than those that charge per half hour."

No fuss. On time. Job done.
"Very easy to organise the appointment to unblock a drain that we had tried and failed to clear ourselves. They were reasonably priced, stuck to their quote, the engineer was very personable, paid for their own parking and explained the issue! That's all I ask from a service company. Thank you Happy Drains."
Main soil pipe blokage was cleared.
"Professional, courteous and reliable. The call was booked with a friendly and professional demeanour. The tradesman who visited was clear in explaining what was required and the work that was carried out after he'd completed it. The blockage was mainly due to a build up of limescale over a very long period of time and was cleared quickly and effectively. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Happy Drains."
Blockage in ground floor wc
"The work was carried out very professionally and the problem was investigated to resolve the cause of the blockage. The final report was very detailed to explain the issue after completion of the work, which was very helpful to understand the problem. Images of the work were taken and sent in the final report with detailed actions taken. The team at Happy Drains kept me informed throughout the day of any issues."
Unblock kitchen sink
"Fantastic. Called ahead as promised, polite and friendly on arrival. Super clean and tidy, left the area as he found it. All for the quoted price with no hint of any dodgy up-selling. Would happily recommend."

Drain clearance
"Happy Drains responded very quickly (next day) to our blocked external drain problem. They removed a small tree that was growing in the drain, and gave the drains a quick jet wash. Excellent service."
Unblock Drain
"Communication was before & after the work. Wayne was very friendly & did an excellent job."
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"
