Blocked outside drain
"I phoned Happy Drains where the office manager arranged for a service call within a couple of hours. The two men arrived in no time, and took measures to clear the significant blockage, with diligence and humour. Efficient office management, alongside the job, with appropriate contact by email and messages, through to Invoice. Very pleased with the whole service. "
Outside drain unblocked
"I called Happy Drains to clear an outside drain at my father's property, which had become blocked. The friendly lady that answered the phone very helpfully managed to get someone to come the next morning. I received a call prior to the workmen arriving, which was reassuring. They were friendly and very efficient; 25 minutes after they arrived the problem was resolved; brilliant! I would highly recommend this company."

Clearing of a blocked drain line just past the interceptor

Work carried out quickly with care, consideration, and cleanliness. Everything was left tidy, clean and in place. I would highly recommend Happy Drains. Finally, the cost of £114 (inc.VAT) and was value for money. I can't help but thank this company for its continued high level of service"

"A difficult, awkward blockage below ground level was cleared efficiently."

Clear Kitchen Drain
"Very polite from asking if it was okay to park on the drive to explaining what the problem was, what he planned to do, showing the camera footage & clearing up & explaining guarantee. Invoice came through with amount advised. Would definitely use again. "
Blocked external drain
"I had a blocked drain (external to the property). I previously had someone to look at and they explained that the drain had likely collapsed and quoted to fix (over £1k). I thought I would double check. Happy Drains visited and drain was clear within minutes (blocked trap) with no requirement to dig up garden and replace drains (or use a camera). 60 day guarantee inc in case it blocks again. Engineer was polite, friendly, cleanly dressed and professional. As he said 25 years of experience. Great job, highly recommend (and I will be recommending further)."
UNBLOCK OUTSIDE DRAINS
"This company has provided excellent first class service. DYNO ROD previously accepted our request to clear but on New Year's Eve morning declined as they were too busy and couldn't reach us until after New Year. Found HAPPY DRAINS on line, phoned and the contact was excellent, arranged a visit within an hour. Engineer arrived well within this time span was brilliant, cleared the problem quickly and efficiently.
