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'

We had Arran come round to unblock our toilet after I tried all the usual DIY attempts.

Blocked drain
Birmingha based: Blocked outside drain that STW 'cleared' - and promptly filled up again! Went to find a few companies (one promised to turn up and didn't...) and finally found Happy Drains Had one of the politest conversations I've ever had about sewer problems! the guy on the phone was friendly and recommended some things to do about the flooding that had occurred and scheduled a call in the next few days.. One visit later, everything cleared up! did a 'look see' camera inspection (costs extra btw) and was talked through how the piping was and if any remedial work was needed Really reccomeded!
