sink waste pipe blocked
I called happy drains with blocked sink waste, the receptionist arranged for the technicians to attend the following day informing me they would call me 30 minutes prior to arrival. The technicians did call me 30 minutes before arriving. They understood the difficulties involved with the blocked waste as the access was challenging and with patience and experience they unblocked the blockage. The guys were polite, tidy, on time, and knowledgeable. Will defiantly use happy drains again

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!

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."
