Storm Drain Assessment
"Very efficient and professional service. Quick response and helpful advice. Would recommend Happy Drains :)"
Clearing drain
"Great service. Easy to book, easy to pay, came swiftly, and chap you fixed the drain was brilliant, and gave me some useful advice. "
Kitchen drain Blocked
"I had a big block on my kitchen drain. My kitchen is the result of a garage conversion with long drains and hard access. Happy drains came after a few hours from my call and fixed the problem. They had to open an access on the laundry and charged a reasonable amount to do that. Very happy and would call them again!"
Blocked toilet and drain.
"Chap was punctual, polite and did a very thorough job. Would definitely recommend."
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."

Blocked Drain
"Turned up promptly, assessed the situation, confirmed the quote and cleared the drain. All very quick and efficient with a very cheerful and polite tradesman. Couldn't have gone better."
Back garden drain unblocked
"The challenge was to unblock my drain in the back garden with no rear access. All equipment needed to be brought through the house. It was too much of a risk to use a pressure washer for a single crew. However the engineer fully cleared the drain using his available tools/ equipment."
Gulley unblocking
"Simon figured out the problem quickly and made sure there was no damage to the property. He also gave advice how to stop it happening again. Would highly recommend the service"
