Blocked drain
“Fantastic, prompt service, our engineer was extremely thorough and very friendly. Would highly recommend! Thanks.”
Blocked drain from ensuite.
“Called Happy Drains about 9am as my ensuite toilet was blocked which was the only working toilet at the time. They advised that someone could be with me between 10am and 12noon. Two guys arrived just after 12 and went to work straight away to clear the blockage, which they did quickly, cleanly and professionally. Based on this I would use Happy Drains again. “
Blocked outside drain
“Super impressed. Tommy and Gordon showed up within hours of my distressed phone call as our outside drain was completely blocked. They fixed it within minutes and shared their expertise for preventing blockage in the future. Friendly, courteous, incredibly knowledgeable and professional. My only go to from now on.”
Kitchen drain not clearing outside.
“After trying to clear outside gully by hand, I feared a major underground issue. After seeing good reviews, I called Happy Drains Norwich. A non urgent visit was agreed 8am-12. On the day, He called to advise on the way. Shortly after, he called again to advise that he had to attend an emergency and would it be OK in 1 hour. I agreed and he arrived in originally agreed time window. Relying on experience, he determined that the gully outlet was in a surprise position and he removed bits of concrete and old fat. Quick job but fee was ok for his experience and his very flexible wrists!”
