Reliable service for unblocking drains
Prompt service, work carried out with minimum fuss, at fair cost.
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
