Customer in Norwich
Kitchen drain not clearing outside.
After trying to clear outside gully by hand, I feared a major underground issue. After seeing good reviews, I called Happy Drains Norwich. A non urgent visit was agreed 8am-12. On the day, He called to advise on the way. Shortly after, he called again to advise that he had to attend an emergency and would it be OK in 1 hour. I agreed and he arrived in originally agreed time window. Relying on experience, he determined that the gully outlet was in a surprise position and he removed bits of concrete and old fat. Quick job but fee was ok for his experience and his very flexible wrists!

Blocked drain from ensuite.
Called Happy Drains about 9am as my ensuite toilet was blocked which was the only working toilet at the time. They advised that someone could be with me between 10am and 12noon. Two guys arrived just after 12 and went to work straight away to clear the blockage, which they did quickly, cleanly and professionally. Based on this I would use Happy Drains again.

Customer in Harwich
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

Customer in Chelmsford
Outside runoff drain to mains was backed up and overflowing.
Called them on a Saturday when the drain was especially playing up and within 20 minutes they rang back with the job booked in for the Monday. Friendly, prompt service on the phone, same again when the fella turned up. Done in 10 minutes. Didn't have to pay him then and there, but instead was issued online invoice and link to super-simple payment procedure. Brilliant. Highly recommended; will definitely use them again - just hope I won't have to!

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.

Unblocked drain and sewer pipe which solved blocked toilet plus camera survery defined two other issues which are not mandatory but good to know for the future
Rung around several local businesses in the drainage arena. As had a blocked toilet. Spoke to Gary, whom kindly spared 30mins to speak to me, and afterwards within 10mins, arranged for one of his local experts Jason (based in Norwich) whom made room for me in a very busy schedule, to come out next day at 8am next day, as it was a domestic urgency. Professional, had the right tools and problem solved within an hour including camera surgery which defined some other issues to which free quotes are being provided. Most important price was relative to the job and very fair. Highly recommended

Cleared waste drains for tenants from hell
Tenants from hell blocked the drains from sink. Happy drains went in and cleared almost as soon as I called them. I haven't seen the work but as I m getting no more issues I assume its absolutely fine. They came in with minimum fuss and good efficiency which has made a stressful time a bit better...will certainly use them again!
Customer in Norwich

Proved bit more difficult to clear than usual, but with persistence the blockage was cleared. The young man who did the job was very polite and friendly so I would have no problem in recommending him to anyone in the Norwich area.

Cleared blocked drains.
I have no hesitation in recommending this company. As well as clearing the blockage he checked all other drains and cleaned them out. The drains surrounds and bathrooms were left in a clean and tidy condition. I also got a follow up call to check everything was ok. All round good service.
