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. Based upon this work we would HIGHLY RECOMMEND HAPPY DRAINS and have logged their number in our Contacts folder for any future problems, THANK YOU."
Unblocking drain
"Having used Happy Drains previously, I contacted them about a blocked drain on my property. They responded immediately, sent engineers who were prompt, professional and friendly and had the job done in 25 minutes. Just to top it off, the price was the same as my last call-out with them two years ago. Excellent service all round. "
Foul smell in bathroom
"I had a disgusting smell of sewage coming through my pipes in the bathroom, after trying to solve the problem myself unsuccessfully i called Happy Drains and Alex arrived as planned, as soon as he flushed the loo he knew instantly what the problem was - a blockage in the pipes. To say he solved my problem is an understatement, he went to both of my neighbours to check their drains until he found the blockage and then went ahead and flushed the pipes through. He was a true gentleman, polite, funny and very caring. I highly recommend this company and especially Alex. Thank you Alex"
Perfect Service
"Martin was very helpful and unblocked our back garden drain in no time. He was very professional and mindful of the house, he didn't leave a mess and was gone within half hour. Couldn't be happier!"

Blocked drain
"Amazing service. I couldn't recommend these guys highly enough. I don't have his name but the young man who came took well over 2 hours to fix our problem which had accumulated over 40 years. He kept everything tidy, was courteous and professional and just when I thought we were going to be left with a major problem his persistence & experience saved the day."
Severe drain blockage cleared fast
"We used the Basingstoke branch, and I couldn't be happier. We had a severe blockage in our main waste pipe due to previous owners dumping grease for years. I called in the morning, they came just after lunch. The engineer was friendly and knowledgeable and explained every step thoroughly, cheerfully answering my questions (I'm curious about everything) and did the job quickly and with a great sense of humour, letting me fill the fatburgs that flowed out. Price was brilliant too. Couldn't recommend enough. "
Blocked outside drain.
"Excellent experience, Damian was great, efficient, quick, just got the job done. In the end the blockage needed jetting, but that was not a problem and no extra cost. He came out within 24 hours of a phone call. Would certainly use Happy Drains again."
