Clear drains.

"Happy Drains Ltd responded and attended very promptly - Drains were cleared and are now very happy."

Blocked external drain

"I had a blocked drain (external to the property). I previously had someone to look at and they explained that the drain had likely collapsed and quoted to fix (over £1k). I thought I would double check. Happy Drains visited and drain was clear within minutes (blocked trap) with no requirement to dig up garden and replace drains (or use a camera). 60 day guarantee inc in case it blocks again. 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)."

Blocked drains

"We recently noticed our downstairs WC was not flushing properly, and our outside man hole, was flooding and smelt terribly. I got in contact with happy drains and they hooked someone in within the next 2 days as I requested. The guy came to site, and told me exactly what he was doing and what he thought the issue may be. He fixed it in great time and was very informative. I hope I don't need to call happy drains again, but if we ever need someone to help us in the future, we will look no further. 10/10"

Unblocking drain

"From when you call them, you are dealing with a real person and with that comes efficiency. Very polite on the telephone and also the drain engineers on site were very polite and just got on with the job. They showed you the unblocked drain before leaving the site and explained what I would receive in the report via email. Thoroughly recommend them and very good value. For the amount of crap they have to unblock each day, the service is spotless."

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.

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.

Blocked drain

"They came back to us quickly with an all inclusive quote. I booked straight away and they were here the next day as agreed. The engineer was very courteous and just got on with the job. He was done quickly and cleared up. Excellent service. I would highly recommend this company."

5* Service was Over and Above expectation.

"This is the second time I have used Happy Drains the Service provided last time was superb. This time it was even better! With no appointments available to clear my elderly mothers blocked toilet, Happy Drains rearranged a schedule to conduct the work to limit inconvenience. Joe attended and was absolutely first class keeping me updated directly at the request of my confused elderly mother. It is so reassuring to be kept informed of the detail when you are 80 miles away so I could explain it in simple terms to my mother, I recommend Happy Drains 100% and commend Joe for the 5* Service."
