Always very helpful and reliable
Happy Drains have carried out numerous surveys and cleaning/jetting jobs for us - they are very quick to respond if required fir an emergency blockage and they are always very helpful on site when carrying out surveys.
Customer in Birmingham
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'

Toilet unblocking
We had Arran come round to unblock our toilet after I tried all the usual DIY attempts. He explained everything fully, told us the options and tried everything possible without going in to the more costly fixes. He completed the job within the an hour and the cost was exactly what was quoted on the phone. He explained how to prevent it happening again and had a great chat about other DIY things around the house. Definitely would recommend.

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!

Outside drain unblocking
From the opening initial phone call enquiring about their services, Happy Drains were great..The lady on reception understood what I needed straight away, asked me a couple of questions..and booked the call...Even though I'd never called them before, I wasn't asked to pay upfront, not even a deposit, The guy who came out was great, no tutting and scratching his chin and shaking his head, just dived straight in and did the job...and fixed the problem!

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."

Two guys arrived just after 12 and went to work straight away to clear the blockage, which they did quickly, cleanly and professionally. Based on this I would use Happy Drains again. "
