Blocked Drainage
"Happy drains are very professional, nice and tidy service. Turned up on time, great thing they kept me informed of their arrival time and finished the job quickly. They definitely exceed my expectations. Will rebook them in future if need be."
Drain unblocked
"Arrived on time. Explained the issue. Cleared in 10 mins. Excellent. However, little over priced. "
Bathroom toilet
"Opened the door to a very nice man, he fixed my very blocked toilet, but I forgot to ask his name, will call Happy Drains Ltd again if needed, very pleased with work and price. Thank you, Mrs Cooper"
Blocked drain
"My drain was blocked and I had previously called a different company to clear it but they were unsuccessful, I called happy drains and they arranged to send someone the following day. Martin arrived and managed to find the cause of the blockage and cleared it quickly and efficiently, keeping me updated with what he was doing and the root cause of the problem. Fantastic service from Martin and the team at happy drains, I will definitely be using them again in future if I have any similar issues and will not use anyone else again."

I cant really recommend highly enough."
sink waste pipe blocked
"I called happy drains with blocked sink waste, the receptionist arranged for the technicians to attend the following day informing me they would call me 30 minutes prior to arrival. The technicians did call me 30 minutes before arriving. They understood the difficulties involved with the blocked waste as the access was challenging and with patience and experience they unblocked the blockage. The guys were polite, tidy, on time, and knowledgeable. Will defiantly use happy drains again "
