Blocked drain
"A fantastic, professional service from Joe today from when he called to say he was on his way until the job was completed. Not a straightforward job due to a concealed/hidden manhole, Joe was knowledgeable and managed to get the job done! Highly recommend!"
Main drain blocked
"Main drain was blocked. Happy drains were able provide a same day service and resolved the issue quickly and efficiently. very professional service. Happy with the service!"
Unblock drain re kitchen sink
"Happy Drains sent Alex who was superbly focused and dedicated. He rapidly identified the blocked kitchen sink that had not been resolved by a plumber was a drainage issue (as suspected), found the drains, identified the correct one linked to the kitchen, sent a camera down to find the blockage, and rinsed it away with high pressure water jet. Took an hour, with a lot accomplished. No additional or unexpected charges. Very happy with their service and professionalism (given dealing with these sorts of issues can be a minefield of distrust)."
Unblocking drain
"Having used Happy Drains previously, I contacted them about a blocked drain on my property. They responded immediately, sent engineers who were prompt, professional and friendly and had the job done in 25 minutes. Just to top it off, the price was the same as my last call-out with them two years ago. Excellent service all round."

Drain clearance
"Happy Drains responded promptly to my request to unblock a drain. They have done the same for two neighbours now and have been recommended on our local WhatsApp. Came out same day, kept me updated on when they were coming. Good communication and were up front about cost. Cleared the drain, no issues. Payment was quick and easy via an invoice on completion with link in email - I paid via Apple Pay. "
Blocked drains
"Alex showed up to the house, had a quick look and knew what the issue was and how to proceed. He was quick with clearing out blockage and made sure that everything was running smoothly. He was very helpful and gave us good tips to ensure we don't have another blockage. Would definitely use them again and recommend to others. "
Incredibly helpful
"Just moved into new home &found drains blocked. Water company said couldn't come out for 3-5 days, - too long if you can't use the loo! Left message for Gary. Even though it was Sunday, he called back really quickly and talked us through what problem might be, reassured us we'd be okay overnight, and if the water company still wasn't able to attend, he'd come out Monday to fix things. Thankfully, water company engineer very helpfully appeared at 6pm and cleared things. Gary called back early Monday to check on us, and was again so helpful. Couldn't ask for someone more helpful!"
