Would recommend Happy Drains.
Rang Happy Drains for help with blocked drains. They gave me a date and time when engineers would come out together with a quote. All went well, turned up on time explained the procedure and the extra work that would be needed, was kept informed during the time they were here and they worked hard to unblock the drains. Engineers disinfected the area inside and out before they left. Would recommend Happy Drains.

Customer in Birmingham
Highly satisfied - a great company to deal with
Wow, what a brilliant service provided. The engineer fully explained how my drain system worked, and then told me what he was doing as he carried out his work. He was friendly, respectful, and extremely knowledgeable. He offered great advice, and options for the repairs, and he prioritised them. When I received the full interactive report, I was amazed at the clarity of the cctv drain footage, and the ability to understand and physically see the stages at where the repairs were recommended in the sewer system. In summary, a brilliant job from start to finish. I highly recommend Happy drains'

Customer in Matlock
Fair set price, no funny business just a great and reliable service.
Brilliant as always. I've used Happy drains on many occasions for my holiday let properties and here is why - they charge a flat fee and never have a problem spending a little extra time if required, they are always professional and arrive on time and with the required equipment and always get the job done. If they can't fix it straight away they are quick with the CCTV to diagnose without charging silly money. They are honest, reliable and that is why I only use happy drains.

Efficient Professional Company (Happy Drains)
"My trusted plumber gave us the contact details of Happy Drains. After contacting the company, the technician was at my house within 60 minutes (for a blocked kitchen drain so not a real, real drop everything emergency!) He kept me informed of what he had to do and was very professional and efficient. Very quickly the blockages were removed and flushed out and we had running water through the system again. We were impressed with Happy Drains and would recommend the company to anyone needing a drain unblocked."
Second time back, and for good reason
"Second time using Happy Drains. Booked them for a CCTV drain survey following an unsatisfactory experience with another provider; they had originally been engaged when we bought the house and came recommended again through a trade contact. The engineer arrived punctually, was courteous throughout, and walked us through the findings on site. Pricing was fair, an the final invoice matched the quote. The written report and accompanying video footage contained enough detail to understand the condition of the drain runs and scope the remedial work. Will be using them again for the corrective works."
Great service
"We had a very problematic drain blockage that only had access from the toilet and no manholes. The guys turned up, very professional, polite and persevered with the issue until the drains were cleared. I would 100% recommend to anyone who requires this type of service. "
