Great reviews from our Happy Customers...

Unblocking kitchen sink
"I moved into my new flat only to find that the prior owner had left me a spectacularly blocked kitchen sink. It filled up when running the tap and dishwasher, and overflowed when I ran the washing machine. Got a plumber to check u-bend, then another company to rod. Still blocked - despair! Then stumbled on Happy Drains. Damien arrived promptly, was chipper and my god was he determined to get to the bottom of the issue. He was incredibly experienced, knowledgable and methodical. It took 2 and a half hours but he got to the bottom of it. I am ecstatic! Highly recommend."
Clearing blocked drains
"I called the company after a recommendation and a man arrived later the same day. He was friendly and professional, quickly set up the equipment and worked his magic with the two blocked drains. He offered advice on keeping the drains clear in future and made sure the area was clean and tidy before he left. I have no hesitation in recommending this firm."
Cleared a blocked drain
"Telephoned ahead of visit and arrived promptly. Very polite and informative offered follow-up advice and a new quote but wasn't pushy. Would definitely use again."
Unblocking kitchen sink
"Great service. Very quick turn around (called at 09:30 and the plumber was on site at 12:00). Polite, and efficient. Got the job done in 40 mins. Would recommend."
Unblocked kitchen gulley
"Happy Drains were polite and had clear Pricing. The service was quick and very efficient. I am very happy with the work undertaken. Would highly recommend and it would use again. Upon completion an invoice was sent to me which I paid using Applepay which made things easier "

Blocked drain
"Martin arrived on time, having let me know he was on the way. He quickly got to work and within minutes it was all sorted. He also kindly cleaned up the mess on my patio (the drains had overflowed during heavy rain, leaving it covered in sewage.) As I don't have access to the communal drain (he had to do it from my neighbour's), he even got out a metal detector to locate where my access shaft is (under the patio). Overall, Martin was thoroughly helpful and professional. I must also say of Happy Drains that they answer the phone quickly, and the lady I spoke to was helpful and courteous."
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 drain
"I had a major blockage in one of my drains. Called happy drains who responded very quickly. It took a couple of attempts to clear but they done an amazing job"
