Blocked kitchen sink drain
"I noticed that the patio was awash with soapy water and realised that the drain leading from the kitchen sink was blocked and overflowing. I phoned Happy Drains and they were so helpful. Arranged for someone to call round between 1 and 3. I arrived home at 12.55 to find them patiently waiting outside. They were very friendly and helpful. Did a thorough job clearing the drain, lifting the manhole cover and making sure the water was flowing freely. I was delighted with their service and would definitely recommend them."

"We had to have a CCTV drain survey done since we're in the process of buying the house. William arranged with the estate agents for an appointment just two days later. The report included the mpeg files as well as observations of any issues. Professional and hassle-free experience, thank you!"
Drains Blocked
"Very Pleased with the service provided by Happy Drains - I've use them before because they are so good, quick and efficient - Oh and very reasonable compared to some Drain Cleaners we wont name them but you'll know who I mean. Happy Drains were out the day after Id emailed to say I had a problem with my outside drains completely backed up - not a pretty sight. They kept me advised when they were arriving and what to expect - the engineers were both very able and very friendly - they had the drains unblocked very quickly and with minimum fuss. Highly Recommend - I wouldn't use anyone else."

Richard from Happy Drains arrived within a couple of hours. He was extremely professional, courteous and respectful of our property when carrying out the work. Once finished he carefully explained what the issue was and remedial action needed. Very Happy and would we thoroughly recommend them. Thank you!"
