In Shepton Mallet we are particularly good at drain surveys and investigations

There’s no doubt about it, moving home is expensive, and Shepton Mallet Home Buyer’s structural surveys used to be relatively straightforward.

A building surveyor would attend the Shepton Mallet house you were going to buy and undertake inspection, ranging from the entry level ‘valuation’ up to the ‘full structural’, none of which were cheap. The majority of buyers would opt for the entry level and least expensive option their mortgage lender would accept in Shepton Mallet Somerset BA4. Against a backdrop of litigation and a compensation culture, surveyors have had no choice but to add disclaimers about anything he or she can’t actually see or inspect, especially underground services like drains.

Hence the recent additional need of a specialist drainage survey for Shepton Mallet properties.

Unblocking kitchen sink

"I moved into my new flat only to find that the prior owner had left me a spectacularly blocked kitchen sink. It filled up when running the tap and dishwasher, and overflowed when I ran the washing machine. Got a plumber to check u-bend, then another company to rod. Still blocked - despair! Then stumbled on Happy Drains. Damien arrived promptly, was chipper and my god was he determined to get to the bottom of the issue. He was incredibly experienced, knowledgable and methodical. It took 2 and a half hours but he got to the bottom of it. I am ecstatic! Highly recommend."

Clearing a blocked manhole

"Tommy was excellent. Rang and got a same day appointment. Phoned ahead to confirm arrival time. Unlocked the drain quickly with a rod but followed up by jetting the drain to make sure it was entirely clear. Provided a number of good tips on how to avoid future blockage. Tommy was polite friendly and very efficient. "

Cleared drains brilliantly

"Tommy is really friendly, helpful and courteous. It's a pleasure dealing with him, second time now. If I need to be clearing drains again, he'll be my 'go-to man'."

Sorted out our blocked kitchen sink super quick

"Happy Drains came round and quickly identified that the issue was outside the house. I had literally popped upstairs to let my wife know he'd arrived, before I got a text saying the job was done. Everything works perfectly and it was lightning quick, and the quote was also very reasonable. Highly recommend these guys."

Partially blocked toilet

"Couldn't not fault Happy Drains. I put out a job request on check a trade on a Friday night around 11:00pm Saturday morning had a call back from the office . They would have come out same day but my choice to wait until Monday. The pricing was fixed so no hidden costs and I was made aware before the job was done. The whole team from the girls in the office to the guy who came out to sort out the toilet could not have been more helpful. The job was done with minimum disruption quickly and efficiently Monday morning. Would highly recommend Happy Drains fantastic service ."
