Drains Blocked
"Very Pleased with the service provided by Happy Drains - I've use them before because they are so good, quick and efficient - Oh and very reasonable compared to some Drain Cleaners we wont name them but you'll know who I mean. Happy Drains were out the day after Id emailed to say I had a problem with my outside drains completely backed up - not a pretty sight. They kept me advised when they were arriving and what to expect - the engineers were both very able and very friendly - they had the drains unblocked very quickly and with minimum fuss. Highly Recommend - I wouldn't use anyone else."

"I do everything I can to avoid trades doing dobs as I have had so many bad experiences and there are so many cowboys. Sean from Happy Drains was everything good about a tradesman. Punctual, police, personable, happy in his work and did an excellent job for us. No hesitation to give Happy Drains 10 / 10 for an excellent service."

Unblocking kitchen sink
"I moved into my new flat only to find that the prior owner had left me a spectacularly blocked kitchen sink. It filled up when running the tap and dishwasher, and overflowed when I ran the washing machine. Got a plumber to check u-bend, then another company to rod. Still blocked - despair! Then stumbled on Happy Drains. Damien arrived promptly, was chipper and my god was he determined to get to the bottom of the issue. He was incredibly experienced, knowledgable and methodical. It took 2 and a half hours but he got to the bottom of it. I am ecstatic! Highly recommend."

No fuss. On time. Job done.
"Very easy to organise the appointment to unblock a drain that we had tried and failed to clear ourselves.
