"After so many expensive quotes from other companies regarding a clogged drain outside our kitchen window - Happy Drains answered our questions on Checkatrade and gave us a set quote - After talking to them on the phone, the team were kind, honest and fully transparent about how the day would go - One of their team members (unfortunately didn't get his name) came over, took one look at the drain, unblocked it and was on his merry way! Will definitely be recommending this company to friends and family!! Thank you so much team!"

Sewer pipes & investigation.
"A mucky job which was carried out very efficiently by Tony. He arrived on time on the appointment day, no faffing about. I was kept in touch with photos and any recommendations for the future which I could actually 'talk' with someone to discuss this. The office/booking team (Emily) extremely efficient and friendly. Reasonable price too. A good team and a handy number to have in your phone!"
Blocked drain
"Speedy call out. Very nice polite man. Left everything all clean and tidy. One happy drain and customer"
Drain unblocked without an issue
"Noticed a blocked drain over the weekend. Booked an appointment for Monday and the guy did it professionally. It turned out to be a slightly bigger job as the blockage was in the neighbours drain so the guy helpfully unblocked their drain as well. Would definitely recommend this company and I will be using them in the future too. "
Highly recommended
"Came out the same day. Charged a good price and cleared the drain very quickly."

Clearing drain blockage.
"Engineer arrived on time, he was very polite and worked quickly. He explained everything he had done to me and made sure I was perfectly happy before he left my house. I will definitely be recommending Happy Drains to my family and friends and would not hesitate to use them again."
Drain clearance
"I have used Happy Drains before, and again they provided an excellent service from the original phone call right up to the finished job. We were out when they arrived, and just got back after they finished, but after a mobile phone call they proceeded immediately. Everything was tidy, clean and in place on our return, so if you have a problem of this nature, I can honestly recommend Happy Drains 100%. Finally the cost of £114 was real value for money."
CCTV Drain
"Patrick came out to our property to do a CCTV drain inspection. He was so knowledgeable and friendly, nothing was too much hassle. Would absolutely use Happy Drains again based on my experience today. Thank you! "

Kitchen sink drain cleared

The plumbing is not straightforward but he saw the issue and cleared the blockage very quickly without wasting time. He was very thorough and cleaned up afterwards. My sink now drains faster than it has in years and I am very happy. I was told exactly how much it would cost beforehand, so no hidden extras, plus the engineer offered a 28 day call back for free if the issue wasn't resolved. "
