Customer in Matlock
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.

Quality work from Happy Drains.
Excellent service from start to finish with Happy Drains. Would highly recommend the company to others. Quality work carried out on site, was kept informed along the way, work completed to a high standard and was checked and rechecked before leaving site. They even cleared up the broken and damaged drain parts and made area looking good again before leaving. Felt pricing was fair given the work involved and happily paid the bill the same day as felt confident in the workmanship.

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.

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.

To Clear a blocked drain
Called Happy Drains as I was let down by another drain company. I got straight through to someone who, after checking for available date called me back within minutes. I was informed that someone would be with me between 9 and 1 the following day. Next day I received a phone call around 10 from technician informing me he would be at my house within half hour. Turned up on time and job was completed before 11 with no mess or disturbance and a great price too. Certainly will use again and highly recommended.

Blocked sewer chamber
Hi Happy Drains, Just wanted to say how brilliant the service was from Happy Drains at my property recently. I had a fully blocked sewer chamber. Your staff member was brilliant - v efficient and friendly and very professional. Fixed the job at a great price. Oh and talking to an actual person to set up the appointment rather than an artificial system was loads better. Would definitely recommend.
Customer in Nottingham
Blocked drains
We had a problem with a slow draining and bubbling toilet, called Happy Drains on a Sunday and the amazing receptionist arranged for a call back that morning, with an engineer able to come out the very next day. When he arrived on Monday, Martin was absolutely superb: he diagnosed the problem straightaway and had everything unblocked very quickly. He even took the time to explain what he was doing to my seven-year-old and showed him a few tricks of the trade, which my son was absolutely delighted with. Happy Drains are quick, efficient, extremely good value, and their engineers are amazing!

Customer in Nottingham
Clearance of external drain
My rental property is some distance from where I live, so when my tenant reported a problem with the drains I needed to arrange for a call out. Happy Drains responded quickly to an online request submitted via Checkatrade and set out clearly the service they could provide, and the cost. They arranged to attend the property directly with the tenant as requested, but kept me informed at all times. Clearance was achieved quickly and efficiently and a report submitted to me setting out the work carried out. The price was as agreed. A very simple and satisfying experience from start to finish.
Customer in Nottingham

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."

Drains Blocked
"Very Pleased with the service provided by Happy Drains - I've use them before because they are so good, quick and efficient - Oh and very reasonable compared to some Drain Cleaners we wont name them but you'll know who I mean. Happy Drains were out the day after Id emailed to say I had a problem with my outside drains completely backed up - not a pretty sight. They kept me advised when they were arriving and what to expect - the engineers were both very able and very friendly - they had the drains unblocked very quickly and with minimum fuss. Highly Recommend - I wouldn't use anyone else."
