Friendly service and great job
After noticing our manhole had a blockage we phoned happy drains. They got someone out the next day which was great! The guy that did it was super friendly and got the job done quick and did a great job at clearing it. This is the second time we've called happy drains and we would highly recommend to others
Customer in Leicester
Professional, Proactive Service
We recently used Happy Drains and was very pleased with the overall service. From the first point of contact, the process was straightforward and easy to arrange. Although the initial appointment had to be cancelled due to weather and there was some brief confusion around the revised date, the team quickly resolved the issue and prioritised the job. These things can happen, but I was impressed with the proactive communication and the way the situation was dealt with and resolved professionally and efficiently. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again and would recommend.

Customer in Birmingham
Highly satisfied - a great company to deal with
Wow, what a brilliant service provided. The engineer fully explained how my drain system worked, and then told me what he was doing as he carried out his work. He was friendly, respectful, and extremely knowledgeable. He offered great advice, and options for the repairs, and he prioritised them. When I received the full interactive report, I was amazed at the clarity of the cctv drain footage, and the ability to understand and physically see the stages at where the repairs were recommended in the sewer system. In summary, a brilliant job from start to finish. I highly recommend Happy drains'
Customer in Hyde
Would recommend Happy Drains.
Rang Happy Drains for help with blocked drains. They gave me a date and time when engineers would come out together with a quote. All went well, turned up on time explained the procedure and the extra work that would be needed, was kept informed during the time they were here and they worked hard to unblock the drains. Engineers disinfected the area inside and out before they left. Would recommend Happy Drains.

The operator who attended was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and efficient, taking the time to explain what was needed and getting everything sorted without any hassle.

Customer in Matlock
Fair set price, no funny business just a great and reliable service.
Brilliant as always. I've used Happy drains on many occasions for my holiday let properties and here is why - they charge a flat fee and never have a problem spending a little extra time if required, they are always professional and arrive on time and with the required equipment and always get the job done. If they can't fix it straight away they are quick with the CCTV to diagnose without charging silly money. They are honest, reliable and that is why I only use happy drains.
Customer in Nuneaton
Quality work from Happy Drains.
Excellent service from start to finish with Happy Drains. Would highly recommend the company to others. Quality work carried out on site, was kept informed along the way, work completed to a high standard and was checked and rechecked before leaving site. They even cleared up the broken and damaged drain parts and made area looking good again before leaving. Felt pricing was fair given the work involved and happily paid the bill the same day as felt confident in the workmanship.

Drain totally blocked
Happy Drains have been amazing from start to finish, the lady on the phone was super helpful and booked us in as soon as possible. She also gave us a quote on the phone and promised it was a set price which was great (I had to double check as it was almost half as much as another company's quote!) Our engineer rang half an hour before arrival as promised, was such a lovely guy I can't thank him enough for doing such a thorough job! He even spent time talking to our neighbours to check the blockage wasn't effecting their houses! 100% recommended

A few words from our Happy Customers...

Kitchen drain Blocked
"I had a big block on my kitchen drain. My kitchen is the result of a garage conversion with long drains and hard access. Happy drains came after a few hours from my call and fixed the problem. They had to open an access on the laundry and charged a reasonable amount to do that. Very happy and would call them again!"
Drain clearing prior replacement in restaurant to reduce odour.
"Prior drainage replacement, used Happy Drain to service pipes. To eliminate unnecessary smell in restaurant. They used Spartan machine and running water to clear up. Results were good. Will use again when needed."
