Unblock manhole and identify why we have an a going issue.

"Happy Drains arrived on time and in fact rang an hour ahead as they knew I had to come home from work. They were very clear, professional and courteous. The problem was not straight forward so they went over and above to resolve it."

Outside drain unblocked

"I called Happy Drains to clear an outside drain at my father's property, which had become blocked. The friendly lady that answered the phone very helpfully managed to get someone to come the next morning. I received a call prior to the workmen arriving, which was reassuring. They were friendly and very efficient; 25 minutes after they arrived the problem was resolved; brilliant! I would highly recommend this company."

CCTV drain survey

"We had to have a CCTV drain survey done since we're in the process of buying the house. William arranged with the estate agents for an appointment just two days later. The report included the mpeg files as well as observations of any issues. Professional and hassle-free experience, thank you!"

Home-buyer Reading - Pre-Purchase CCTV Drain Surveys

It is not uncommon when buying a Reading property to be asked to have a CCTV Drain Survey undertaken if you are buying or selling a property, which is why we have a CCTV survey that tailored to the needs of Reading home buyers or sellers.

Your surveyor may ask you to have a CCTV drainage survey carried out if they suspect there is an issue with the Reading property drains, It may be because they have spotted a blockage, there are signs of damp in the house, or it has just flagged up on your Reading home buyers survey. It’s always best to get the drains checked as if there is a significant repair needed on the system; we’re sure you would rather know before signing any paperwork!

By feeding a camera into your pipework, we can get a clear image of the state of it, and can then pick up any signs of cracks or collapses. Once we know what the drainage system looks like, we can provide a solution for the problems. We always provide our customers in Reading with a full written report. To include site plans and pictures. A quotation for any remedial works—formatted in a way that is suitable to send on to your surveyor.  It is easy for you to understand, should you have any questions, our technical team are available in the office to answer any of your questions.

Unblocked a gullley drain

"The man was extremely calm and cheerful and went out of his way, even in pouring rain to clear my drain. I had limited access as the neighbour had built an extension over the manhole, but it didn't phase him and he completed the job."

Sorted out our blocked kitchen sink super quick

"Happy Drains came round and quickly identified that the issue was outside the house. I had literally popped upstairs to let my wife know he'd arrived, before I got a text saying the job was done. Everything works perfectly and it was lightning quick, and the quote was also very reasonable. Highly recommend these guys."

Blocked toilet

"Rang to request help and within a couple of hours Alex was unblocking my drains. Efficient, courteous and helpfully explaining how to ensure the problem doesn't arise again. Would definitely use this service again and would recommend to friends and family. Thank you for a fantastic service"

Unblocking outside drain

"Very speedy response and call out. Arrived promptly, with updates on arrival time. Polite and friendly, putting the 'happy' in Happy drains! Identified and fixed the problem, tested and cleared up and gave some useful advice for regular maintenance and long term plans. Good work."
