Customer in Norwich
Very happy to have the drains flowing freely again
The initial telephonic contact was friendly and helpful, and the appointment made for the next available working day. When the employee arrived, he was very professional, and managed to find the issue quickly. The blockage wasn't easy to remove (stones and mud from a collapsed pipe) and needed some extra persuasion, but eventually the water was running clear through the pipes - much to our delight. This pipe and drain had been giving us issues since we moved into the house last May. I would gladly recommend this company to others

We had a very problematic drain blockage that only had access from the toilet and no manholes. The guys turned up, very professional, polite and persevered with the issue until the drains were cleared. I would 100% recommend to anyone who requires this type of service.
Customer in Colchester
First class service from a quality company
Noticed we had waste water coming up through a manhole, called Happydrains who arranged for someone to attend within 48hrs which was fantastic. Engineer called when he was on his way, he was very professional and talked me through what he was going to do. Took him around 30 minutes he had taken photos of each stage and explained what he had found and done. Very happy with the work carried out and 3 weeks later still no issues would use them again

Fixed the problem with efficiency and professionalism.
I happy to recommend this company. They were easy to contact and the engineer came when they said. They charged a fixed price which included what needed to be done to fix the problem which took away any uncertainty about the cost. The engineer fixed the problem efficiently at the visit and gave a report of what was found and done. Five stars!
Customer in Beccles
Great company.
Oh my. Brilliant. Fast and difficult work carried out by Dan (Danny). Sorted out my drain blockage that was caused by a long shank 25mm masonry drill bit that must have been lost during the conversion of my home. I cannot give enough praise to him and the company for their fast and efficient help.

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.

Customer in Great Yarmouth
Very quick and reliable response
Very efficient. Timely and pleasant.
Customer in Basildon
Great communication and fixed price drain clearance
From the first phone call enquiring about drain clearance with Emily to the actual work being carried out was less than 3 hours. I knew immediately upfront what the cost would be and how much extra if a Saturday call out was needed. I was kept informed by phone and email and received a call from the engineers 30 mins prior to arrival. They very quickly identified and cleared the problem clearing up any slight mess they made. Hope not to need this service again but if I do would Happily use Happy drains again.

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. "
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."
Unblocking kitchen drain.
"The blockage was quickly cleared, service was efficient and friendly."
Unblocking of drain/sewage pipe
"The drain engineer arrived punctually. He made the area safe for passers by, as the drain hole cover was in the pavement outside in the street. He cleared the immediate blockage with a rod but then used the power water jet to flush out the whole pipe and clear away the accumulated grease and fat causing the blockage. At one point he practically disappeared inside the drain to remove a ball of fat with his hand! He was extremely thorough and efficient and left the drain sparkling clean! He was polite and friendly throughout. An overall top notch service!"

"Very prompt and professional service. Got the job done with minimum of fuss and was very friendly and informative."
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."
Water rising in shower
"Happy Drains were recommended by one of my letting agents. Called them, staff courteous and very helpful. Call arranged for the following day, email received confirming this along with confirmation of anticipated cost. My tenant confirmed that they arrived at the appointed time, undertook the job in a timely manner and left the area clean and tidy. All in all a pleasure to deal with, would definitely use them again and have no hesitation in recommending them. "
