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.

Clear blocked sink
Apart from the mixup on the address, Jonathon communicated his whereabouts and was on site just 10 minutes late. Cleared the blockage within 15minutes. Also repaired a glued connection that gave up during the vigorous efforts to take the mechanical worm out. All in all a professional solution. Would highly recommend.

Was given an appointment straight away just 2 hours from my call. The guy turned up on time, whole thing took only 30 mins - probably less. He was very polite and efficient. Most importantly drain is fixed! And no surprise charges or anything like that.

Customer in Stockwell
unblocking a external RW downpipe
A team of two arrived. A bit later than promised, but they kept me in the loop re arrival time. They had apparently had a stressed day on previous jobs, hence a little late, but were still extremely helpful and cheerful. Also Happy drains were also well priced for the work with the contact team also charming and helpful. I will definitely recommend this company and use them again!

Kitchen drain Blocked
"I had a big block on my kitchen drain. My kitchen is the result of a garage conversion with long drains and hard access. Happy drains came after a few hours from my call and fixed the problem. They had to open an access on the laundry and charged a reasonable amount to do that. Very happy and would call them again!"

Great reviews from our Happy Customers...

Cleared a blocked garden drain.
"Cleared a blocked garden drain over bank holiday weekend on same day call out. "
Great communication and fixed price drain clearance
"From the first phone call enquiring about drain clearance with Emily to the actual work being carried out was less than 3 hours. I knew immediately upfront what the cost would be and how much extra if a Saturday call out was needed. I was kept informed by phone and email and received a call from the engineers 30 mins prior to arrival. They very quickly identified and cleared the problem clearing up any slight mess they made. Hope not to need this service again but if I do would Happily use Happy drains again."
Drain Jetting
"Happy Drains were incredible, I requested a quote and received one in mere minutes through their website! I tried a few competitors and a few came back a day or two later and others I still haven't heard from! I found the quote given to be competitive and they had good availability which worked around my busy lifestyle. I highly recommend Happy Drains and will continue to use them for any other difficult drainage or plumbing issues!"
Blocked drains
"This was carried out for my 87yo mother, who lives 200miles from me. Your plumber was fantastic and really put my mother at ease. He was kind, understanding of my mother's vulnerability and highly professional. He went way beyond what might normally be expected. In an age where the elderly can be taken advantage of, I can only highly recommend Happy Drains as top class and value for money. "
Reliable
"Company told me Jordan was running late. Jordan was friendly and efficent. Did the work quickly and leave the place clean and tidy."
