Blocked Drainage
"Happy drains are very professional, nice and tidy service. Turned up on time, great thing they kept me informed of their arrival time and finished the job quickly. They definitely exceed my expectations. Will rebook them in future if need be."
Drain clearance
"The service engineer came out on call-out in good time, assessed the problem with my drain and gave a very good, professional service. He was friendly and very informative, cleared the blockage and took pains to leave everything clean and tidy before leaving."
Unblocking drain
"The blocked drain was identified quickly. The work was done very professionally and any mess cleaned up. Very happy with the service."
Blocked external drain
"I had a blocked drain (external to the property). I previously had someone to look at and they explained that the drain had likely collapsed and quoted to fix (over £1k). I thought I would double check. Happy Drains visited and drain was clear within minutes (blocked trap) with no requirement to dig up garden and replace drains (or use a camera). 60 day guarantee inc in case it blocks again. Engineer was polite, friendly, cleanly dressed and professional. As he said 25 years of experience. Great job, highly recommend (and I will be recommending further)."

Blocked Drain
"End to end customer service is excellent, Chris the engineer was brilliant! very knowledgeable and honest, has saved me thousands of pounds by providing an alternative solution to resolve the issue, would highly recommend Happy Drains again and they will be doing my further works, thanks for the excellent service!"
Clearing of bathroom drain.
"Exceptional experience with this company! The booking process was seamless. Communication with the company was very clear on scheduling and having costs upfront meant no lingering worry on the final bill. Work was done quickly and the technicians were very professional. Payment was smooth as well (was able to use Apple Pay). Will definitely get my business again if needed and will recommend them to anyone else in the same situation."
Blocked drain
"Excellent service. Immediate and friendly client attention by phone. Appointment was booked to the next day, receiving a plumber call prior arrival. Plumber sorted the clog effectively in less than 30 min. Invoice link was sent to phone. All clear and quick. Would highly recommend."
Blocked toilet
"Well done Tommy (and the whole team) for a great service and transparency on when to expect someone and on pricing. Was able to fix the issue simply, quickly and without fuss."

Clear drains.
"Happy Drains Ltd responded and attended very promptly - Drains were cleared and are now very happy."
Unblock Outside Drain
"The only thing they drained was my bank account for a £75 plus VAT call out charge. However in all fairness they are a business not a charity and it's not their fault at least they turned up and attempted to unblock it on a Saturday as well (I called them same day) very responsive! It's now an Anglian Water problem."
Map of the drains serving my property and their current state
"I am extremely happy with the works carried out by Tommy at Happy Drains. So pleased with the quality of their work, that I would only hire them for any other future drain jobs. Tommy was on time, very knowledgeable in everything he did and generous with his time; he explained everything to me and answered all my questions. I would highly recommend Happy Drains. "

Cleaning out drains & clean-up
"Wonderful service. Super friendly customer service, who picked up immediately and got me booked in, they were flexible with timings. They came on time, were quick and efficient and left everything tidy and clean. It was a difficult and smelly job since the drains were very blocked up. SO appreciate the wonderful service, could not recommend more!"
Blocked toilet - resolved promptly and effectively
"Great service from Luke who managed to get our upstairs toilet unblocked in less than half an hour. Good customer service, was able to arrange a convenient time for the visit and Luke was very polite and courteous. The price was much cheaper than elsewhere, I will definitely use Happy Drains again for any future drain blockages!"
Blocked drains
"This was carried out for my 87yo mother, who lives 200miles from me. Your plumber was fantastic and really put my mother at ease. He was kind, understanding of my mother's vulnerability and highly professional. He went way beyond what might normally be expected. In an age where the elderly can be taken advantage of, I can only highly recommend Happy Drains as top class and value for money. "
