Partially blocked soil pipe.
"Glad I called Happy Drains when I got an issue with my downstairs toilet overflowing! Damian attended within 24 hours and got straight to it, no fuss, no "hmmmm... (you know what comes next) deep breath intake, etc..). Damian was a pro and worked his way round the problem until it got done. I'm not squeamish for these kind of jobs but I soon realised that blocked drains require professional equipment and experience! Happy customer"
Bath room sink unblock
"Bathroom sink was blocked long time. Profisonal plumbing company engineers visited and advice the bathroom sink plumbing work is wrong. But happy Drain engineer visit used the aqua back Hoover problem solved. As a customer I have no hesitate to recommend this company. "
Blocked drain
"My drain was blocked and I had previously called a different company to clear it but they were unsuccessful, I called happy drains and they arranged to send someone the following day. Martin arrived and managed to find the cause of the blockage and cleared it quickly and efficiently, keeping me updated with what he was doing and the root cause of the problem. Fantastic service from Martin and the team at happy drains, I will definitely be using them again in future if I have any similar issues and will not use anyone else again."
Kitchen sink drain cleared
"The engineer from Happy Drains cleared my slow running kitchen sink drain in minutes. The plumbing is not straightforward but he saw the issue and cleared the blockage very quickly without wasting time. He was very thorough and cleaned up afterwards. My sink now drains faster than it has in years and I am very happy. I was told exactly how much it would cost beforehand, so no hidden extras, plus the engineer offered a 28 day call back for free if the issue wasn't resolved. "

The engineer that unblocked my toilet provided a lot of advice & tips on how to ensure the toilet doesn't get blocked in the future! The appointments are made promptly and will no hassle.
