Blocked kitchen sink drain
"I noticed that the patio was awash with soapy water and realised that the drain leading from the kitchen sink was blocked and overflowing. I phoned Happy Drains and they were so helpful. Arranged for someone to call round between 1 and 3. I arrived home at 12.55 to find them patiently waiting outside. They were very friendly and helpful. Did a thorough job clearing the drain, lifting the manhole cover and making sure the water was flowing freely. I was delighted with their service and would definitely recommend them."

Drain issues
"We booked in a clean because our drain in the back garden smelled like rotting eggs. The technician took off the manhole cover and could see it was completely blocked. He had all the tools on hand to unblock the drain and it looks sparkling now. He was very knowledgable and we learned a lot about Victorian drains! Would definitely use again!"
New frame & drain cover plus cement surround
"Lovely company to deal with. Friendly helpful staff. Contractors arrived on time & delivered exactly what we'd booked. Even though it was just drain cover it was finished off really nicely. Looks nice & smart again now. Thank you! "
Blocked drains
"We recently noticed our downstairs WC was not flushing properly, and our outside man hole, was flooding and smelt terribly. I got in contact with happy drains and they hooked someone in within the next 2 days as I requested. The guy came to site, and told me exactly what he was doing and what he thought the issue may be. He fixed it in great time and was very informative. I hope I don't need to call happy drains again, but if we ever need someone to help us in the future, we will look no further. 10/10"

Blocked domestic manhole
"From the moment I picked up the phone to contact someone about the blockage to the work completed the service was exceptional. Kelly knew what work I would need doing with my frantic explanation and calmly and professionally advised she would contact me back with an update. 10 minutes later I was told I could have an engineer in as little as 2 hours. The engineer arrived promptly. Professional, friendly service carried out with honest and transparent future care advice. Was able to easily Apple Pay an hour later for service following my invoice. No hidden fees. Cost was as advised. Very happy."
Blocked bathroom toilet
