Unblocked a gullley drain
"The man was extremely calm and cheerful and went out of his way, even in pouring rain to clear my drain. I had limited access as the neighbour had built an extension over the manhole, but it didn't phase him and he completed the job."
Exterior drain investigation
"First class service, the person was very polite, clean and tidy. Showed me the video so I could see first hand what he was seeing."
Jet washing rainwater drain
"The job was done quickly and thoroughly by Derick who was polite and considerate throughout."
Unblocking a kitchen runaway.
"They arrived within the stated timeframe, the man explained the problem and how he would deal with it. The work was done swiftly and satisfactorily. Wouldn't hesitate to call them again if necessary or to recommend them to anyone else."

The main drain from bathroom blocked. Backed up to kitchen drain.
"This was my 87 yr old mother's house. We lifted the manhole cover thinking maybe we could unblock it, but it was full. So any water drainage was just overflowing. Euch!! A neighbour recommended Happy Drains. Phoned them about 9.30 Saturday morning. They were with her by 6. They kept in contact all day to let us know the expected arrival time. Super friendly, excellent communication, good price. Great service, especially for my elderly mum. Thankyou"
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)."
Clear kitchen drains
"Cleared blockage in kitchen drains, checked all drainage in bathroom and kitchen, problem solved! Engineer was there next day and sorted problem within a few hours. Super great value and service"
