Clear a blocked drain
"Wow what a great service! Messaged Happy drains at about 6pm, an engineer was round about 9.30am the following morning. He identified the problem quickly, cleared it out and implemented a solution to stop it happening again. Cost was very reasonable and as quoted. Very courteous and Knowledgeable engineer. Would 100% recommend Happy Drains."
Blocked bathroom toilet
"They could not clear it initially so went outside and cleared the drain which they didn't need to (as that should be a Council responsibilty) - would recommend this company every time"
Blockage in ground floor wc
"The work was carried out very professionally and the problem was investigated to resolve the cause of the blockage. The final report was very detailed to explain the issue after completion of the work, which was very helpful to understand the problem. Images of the work were taken and sent in the final report with detailed actions taken. The team at Happy Drains kept me informed throughout the day of any issues."
Outside runoff drain to mains was backed up and overflowing.
"Called them on a Saturday when the drain was especially playing up and within 20 minutes they rang back with the job booked in for the Monday. Friendly, prompt service on the phone, same again when the fella turned up. Done in 10 minutes. Didn't have to pay him then and there, but instead was issued online invoice and link to super-simple payment procedure. Brilliant. Highly recommended; will definitely use them again - just hope I won't have to! "

Unblock drain re kitchen sink
"Happy Drains sent Alex who was superbly focused and dedicated. He rapidly identified the blocked kitchen sink that had not been resolved by a plumber was a drainage issue (as suspected), found the drains, identified the correct one linked to the kitchen, sent a camera down to find the blockage, and rinsed it away with high pressure water jet. Took an hour, with a lot accomplished. No additional or unexpected charges. Very happy with their service and professionalism (given dealing with these sorts of issues can be a minefield of distrust)."
