Blioked kitchen drain
"So happy with the service. I rang and they came the next day. Very effcient, they came when thry said they would come and the drain was cleared quickly. The best thing about Happy drains is the the transparency of their costs and excellent customer service from all."
Clear blockage in sink/bath drainage pipework
"I had a nearly complete sink/bath drainage blockage which I was unable to clear using metal flexible rod as the blockage too far down the pipe. I was fortunate Happy Drains were able to attend within a few hours and although the operator said he would normally require the side of the bath off to clear the blockage he instead said he would try and suck the debris out as the bath side is fully tiled and would require dismantling. His efforts were successful and the blockage cleared."
