Blocked kitchen gully
"Ben and Sean were excellent, cleared our blockage in no time, then checked further down the run and cleared a mass of roots from another manhole we had no idea had a problem. Punctual, polite and efficient. A job well done."
I would recommend this company
"I called this company with a drain issue in our new property. Tony was very efficient contacted us to confirm the time he would arrive. He identified and cleared the issue quickly. I would recommend this company and Tony"
Sewer clearance
"I was able to get an appointment very quickly and the work was carried out in very professional manner. "
Drain unblocking - external gully
"I reached out to Happy Drains on WhatsApp about a non urgent drainage issue - and they were quick to arrange a visit in the next few days. they arrived on time and made sure to give us prior warning before arriving. they sorted the problem quickly and also gave some advice about tools/preventative measures that would help us avoid future calls outs. would 00 % recommend!"

Blocked external drain
"I had a blocked drain (external to the property). I previously had someone to look at and they explained that the drain had likely collapsed and quoted to fix (over £1k). I thought I would double check. Happy Drains visited and drain was clear within minutes (blocked trap) with no requirement to dig up garden and replace drains (or use a camera). 60 day guarantee inc in case it blocks again. Engineer was polite, friendly, cleanly dressed and professional. As he said 25 years of experience. Great job, highly recommend (and I will be recommending further)."
Heavily blocked waste pipes.
"Fantastic service and employees. Arranging the appointment was exceptionally easy as the people on the phones were friendly and efficient. Jason from Happy Drains arrived on time and even called ahead to let us know exactly when he'd be arriving. Jason was polite and friendly from beginning to end. He sorted out the problem far quicker than expected considering the dire state of the blockage. After he'd done a wonderful job he then explained exactly how it had happened in detail, what needed to be fixed and told me some preventative measures to help avoid the problem from recurring until then."
Drain unblocked without an issue
"Noticed a blocked drain over the weekend. Booked an appointment for Monday and the guy did it professionally. It turned out to be a slightly bigger job as the blockage was in the neighbours drain so the guy helpfully unblocked their drain as well. Would definitely recommend this company and I will be using them in the future too. "
