Customer in Paddington
Unblocking of Exterior Gutter Downpipe
Fast, friendly same-day service. The plumber was professional, efficient, and handled a tricky blocked drain on the side of our 4th-storey building with care. All sorted quickly-despite the 30-degree heat!
Customer in Kilburn
Highly recommend.
Called Happy Drains as although drain wasn't blocked it was smelling and there were drains flies. Excellent communication from all, keeping me informed as to time etc. They came the next day, on time, and hosed the drains out. Very nice guy, did the job efficiently, left drain clean and running freely, and within a few days 99% of the drains flies were gone. Highly recommend.

It gave me peace of mind to continue with the purchase. They were competitively priced and I would highly recommend

My unhappy drain is now delightful
"My stinky drain, was a source of shame. Seems its leaves to blame, but Happy Drains came and now its new name is Delightful Drain!! Excellent service, from start to finish. Friendly, informative, efficient and I would highly recommend to anyone who also wants a delightful drain :)"
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."
Blocked sink
"Excellent service and much better value than the larger firms. Staff were punctual, polite and professional. They made sure the job was successfully completed."
Partially blocked soil pipe.
"Glad I called Happy Drains when I got an issue with my downstairs toilet overflowing! Damian attended within 24 hours and got straight to it, no fuss, no "hmmmm... (you know what comes next) deep breath intake, etc..). Damian was a pro and worked his way round the problem until it got done. I'm not squeamish for these kind of jobs but I soon realised that blocked drains require professional equipment and experience! Happy customer"
