Blocked drain
"Amazing service. I couldn't recommend these guys highly enough. I don't have his name but the young man who came took well over 2 hours to fix our problem which had accumulated over 40 years. He kept everything tidy, was courteous and professional and just when I thought we were going to be left with a major problem his persistence & experience saved the day. "
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)."

Drain cleared
"Happy Drains contacted me within minutes of posting my requirement. Their communication was always very clear, and the one time I misunderstood something, they immediately contacted me by phone to politely correct my error. The plumber contacted me by phone to give me 20 minutes notice of his arrival. On arrival, he immediately assessed the situation, and rectified it using equipment within the vehicle. The whole process took just minutes, and he explained the causes of the issue to me. At the same time he checked all other connected drains and made good the area."

Toilet unblocking
"We had Arran come round to unblock our toilet after I tried all the usual DIY attempts. He explained everything fully, told us the options and tried everything possible without going in to the more costly fixes. He completed the job within the an hour and the cost was exactly what was quoted on the phone. He explained how to prevent it happening again and had a great chat about other DIY things around the house. Definitely would recommend. "

"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! "
