Oh my. Brilliant. Fast and difficult work carried out by Dan (Danny). Sorted out my drain blockage that was caused by a long shank 25mm masonry drill bit that must have been lost during the conversion of my home. I cannot give enough praise to him and the company for their fast and efficient help.

Noticed we had waste water coming up through a manhole, called Happydrains who arranged for someone to attend within 48hrs which was fantastic. Engineer called when he was on his way, he was very professional and talked me through what he was going to do.

I happy to recommend this company. They were easy to contact and the engineer came when they said. They charged a fixed price which included what needed to be done to fix the problem which took away any uncertainty about the cost. The engineer fixed the problem efficiently at the visit and gave a report of what was found and done. Five stars!

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.

Customer in Norwich
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

Blocked Soil Pipe
"This is a great Company. I called them at 10.30am to request a visit to sort out a blocked toilet system at my daughters place and the Engineer arrived at 3.00pm (within the time slot initially given). Within minutes he (Luke) had identified the issue and not long after, the blockage was cleared and a working toilet was restored. I would recommend these guys to anyone seeking a prompt service, provided by people who know exactly what they're doing."
