Unblocking sink
"The workman arrived on time, having given me a call 10 minutes before to say he was on his way. He was courteous and thorough - made sure the blockage was cleared and gave me advice on preventing a repeat. Would happily recommend"
Incredibly helpful
"Just moved into new home &found drains blocked. Water company said couldn't come out for 3-5 days, - too long if you can't use the loo! Left message for Gary. Even though it was Sunday, he called back really quickly and talked us through what problem might be, reassured us we'd be okay overnight, and if the water company still wasn't able to attend, he'd come out Monday to fix things. Thankfully, water company engineer very helpfully appeared at 6pm and cleared things. Gary called back early Monday to check on us, and was again so helpful. Couldn't ask for someone more helpful!"

UNBLOCK OUTSIDE DRAINS
"This company has provided excellent first class service. DYNO ROD previously accepted our request to clear but on New Year's Eve morning declined as they were too busy and couldn't reach us until after New Year. Found HAPPY DRAINS on line, phoned and the contact was excellent, arranged a visit within an hour. Engineer arrived well within this time span was brilliant, cleared the problem quickly and efficiently. Based upon this work we would HIGHLY RECOMMEND HAPPY DRAINS and have logged their number in our Contacts folder for any future problems, THANK YOU."
