Professional, courteous and reliable. The call was booked with a friendly and professional demeanour.

Cleared drain blockage
Really professional and turned up earlier than planned (with notice) and did the job quickly with no interruptions.
Customer in Reading
As it turned out once the manhole was lifted - a badly blocked main drain which could only be accessed by lifting up some tricky block paving manhole covers
Tony - the local operator for Reading was excellent - friendly and helpful. Got the job done quickly and efficiently and all our drains are running freely once a big blockage was cleared. The price was exactly as advertised. Recommended

Inspect, clear and report and generate CCTV on failed rain water drain.
Good experienced staff. Good communicator , clear investment in appropriate machinery. Got exactly what I wanted. I was initially concerned that this organisation would simply appoint a local subcontractor to do the work but actually this wasn't an issue at all. All good ....would use them again.

Unblocked downstairs toilet

Customer in Reading
CCTV drain survey.
Really easy company to deal with. Survey was easily organised with a phone call, the price was cheapest we had from 6 quotes. Darren the engineer who carried out the survey called us prior to arriving with an ETA and was on time. He was very professional, informed us of what he would be doing and what he saw as well as any issues he encountered along the way. Payment was made online when the report was complete and we received the report several minutes later. The report itself was excellent and very detailed. I highly recommend using Happy Drains.

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)."
