Unblock bath

The drain from the toilet was blocked.
"I came one afternoon and noticed that my driveway was full of toilet paper coming from a very blocked drain. Happy drains was able to send an engineer out the next day and successfully unblocked it (and washed everything back down the drain). I can't say for sure how my drain feels about it but I am very happy."
Our drain was heavily blocked causing the sinks to block with poor drainage.
