Serious blocked toilet
"We have a great and professional service to be conducted by Mr. Damian (at Sutton) under Happy Drains Ltd this morning. Damian is so experience and professional to fix our serious blocked toilet within 45 mins. Damian is so patient to explain to us the whole situation. Deeply appreciated. Thanks Damian and Happy Drains team. A good and very reliable team !! thanks again."
Unblock sewerage pipe in garden.
"Super quick response to enquiry, came next day and cleared blockage. Knew price as well. Personnel were courteous, helpful and efficient. Would highly recommend. Thank you very much."
Unblock drain re kitchen sink
"Happy Drains sent Alex who was superbly focused and dedicated. He rapidly identified the blocked kitchen sink that had not been resolved by a plumber was a drainage issue (as suspected), found the drains, identified the correct one linked to the kitchen, sent a camera down to find the blockage, and rinsed it away with high pressure water jet. Took an hour, with a lot accomplished. No additional or unexpected charges. Very happy with their service and professionalism (given dealing with these sorts of issues can be a minefield of distrust)."
Kitchen drain Blocked
"I had a big block on my kitchen drain. My kitchen is the result of a garage conversion with long drains and hard access. Happy drains came after a few hours from my call and fixed the problem. They had to open an access on the laundry and charged a reasonable amount to do that. Very happy and would call them again!"
