Customer in Marlow
Excellent, knowledgeable and creative
We had a drain survey carried out at the request of our architect prior to building work. The man from Happy Drains was extremely helpful. He suggested a pragmatic solution to the situation which was far more simple (and much cheaper) than the original approach that was planned. The architect was very impressed.
Customer in Marlow

Customer in Basingstoke
Effective, efficient and friendly.
We got in touch with Happy Drains when both our basin and bath stopped draining completely. It was not an emergency but an employee visited us within two days, carried out the work quickly and effectively with a very friendly demeanour and only charged the amount agreed prior to his visit - no additional work was suggested or required. We will definitely keep their details should we ever need their services again.

Main soil pipe blokage was cleared.
Professional, courteous and reliable. The call was booked with a friendly and professional demeanour. The tradesman who visited was clear in explaining what was required and the work that was carried out after he'd completed it. The blockage was mainly due to a build up of limescale over a very long period of time and was cleared quickly and effectively. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Happy Drains.

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.

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.
