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

Great service
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 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.

Customer in Ramsgate
Drain unblocking
Every aspect was perfect. I contacted Happy drains before instruction to check what they needed. I contacted them outside of normal office hours to make sure that it was what they required and they responded within a few minutes. I booked them at 9pm and they arrived by 9am as requested by me. They called prior to arrival to make sure someone was in. Kiran was the engineer and he was polite, professional, courteous and efficient. The price quoted was the price paid which was very reasonable in comparison. If only more companies were like Happy Drains the world would be a better place! Thanks

Clearing blocked drain in rear garden of recently purchased property
Called on a Sunday due to decorating and noticed drains were not clearing as expected. Opened manhole cover in the rear garden and saw it to be full and blocked. Advised on the phone the earliest they could do was the following day, chaps arrived earlier than expected and had the drain cleared in less than 30 minutes. Excellent response, affordable too! Couldn't be happier.

Customer in Canterbury
Louis L is a wonderful, very hard working young man, working for Happy Drains
Louis L was sent to my house to unblock my drainage pipe (roots in the garden section, penetrating it). He is an incredibly hard working young man! Was really, really happy with Louise's service. He did his very, very best to sort my problem, with a camera and various clever equipment, working extremely hard on it. Louis is a huge asset of his employer, Happy Drains. I sincerely hope, they appreciate him, the way he absolutely deserves it! If I have any problems in future, I will definitely ask for Louis L, to come and sort it!
