Drains Blocked
"Very Pleased with the service provided by Happy Drains - I've use them before because they are so good, quick and efficient - Oh and very reasonable compared to some Drain Cleaners we wont name them but you'll know who I mean. Happy Drains were out the day after Id emailed to say I had a problem with my outside drains completely backed up - not a pretty sight. They kept me advised when they were arriving and what to expect - the engineers were both very able and very friendly - they had the drains unblocked very quickly and with minimum fuss. Highly Recommend - I wouldn't use anyone else."
