Toilet drain pipe investigation
"Amazing in terms of just taking the time out on the phone to just walk through problem to see if they needed to even come out and also proposing various options to move forward. The prices quoted were also reasonable."
Kitchen Sink Drain Blockage
"Telephoned Happy Drains early morning. Was told a technician would come to me late afternoon. He arrived at 4pm after telephoning to advise his arrival time. He asked where the blockage was and then got on with clearing it. No time wasted. Once the U bend had been taken apart the blockage was sucked out. Then the U bend was reassembled to show me the blockage had been cleared. All done very efficiently and effectively with very little mess being caused. I was very pleased and impressed."
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."
Drain clearance
"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."

Drain camera inspection
"All staff were professional, friendly and helpful. The drain survey was conducted promptly, and the report received in good time. The report was thorough and helpful."
Cleared outside kitchen and toilet
"From the phone call to the colleague coming out was so professional and made me feel they truly cared. The chap who came out was very pleasant and professional rom the beginning.such a nice chap. I would certainly have this company again and recommend them to others. Trust is so important. ?'? "
Blocked External Drain
"I am very satisfied with the service which was prompt, efficient and swift! The man who came to do the work turned up at the time I was given, was polite and knowledgeable and did the job quicky. I am delighted with this company and wouldn't hesitate to recommend."
