Very polite on the telephone and also the drain engineers on site were very polite and just got on with the job. They showed you the unblocked drain before leaving the site and explained what I would receive in the report via email. Thoroughly recommend them and very good value. For the amount of crap they have to unblock each day, the service is spotless."
1st time customer - Excellent experience
"1st time using Checkatrade. Polite and efficient experience from beginning to end, with clear/ transparent pricing + quick availability of plumber. I chose to use Happy Drains... who were available same day to unblock kitchen sink. Damian from Happy Drains was friendly and cheerful, but always polite and professional and persistent with unblocking drain. Damian had a powerful acqua vac that was required to unblock the drain. Not an easy job, but Damian persisted and determined to get job done. No surprises with charges...exactly as quoted and very reasonable. Recommended."

Clogged kitchen sink pipe

I was really happy, I wished that I would've called them sooner as I was trying for over a week to clear it myself without getting any results... and I also was really happy with the customer service and their payment method, It was really easy to pay with the link that they sent me and they charged me the amount that It was agreed by phone, without any extra fees... I definitely recommend it to everybody "
