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.

South West London CCTV Drain Survey & Drainage Investigation
Greater London, SW1
In South West London we are particularly good at drain surveys and investigations
There’s no doubt about it, moving home is expensive, and South West London Home Buyer’s structural surveys used to be relatively straightforward.
A building surveyor would attend the South West London house you were going to buy and undertake inspection, ranging from the entry level ‘valuation’ up to the ‘full structural’, none of which were cheap. The majority of buyers would opt for the entry level and least expensive option their mortgage lender would accept in South West London Greater London SW1. Against a backdrop of litigation and a compensation culture, surveyors have had no choice but to add disclaimers about anything he or she can’t actually see or inspect, especially underground services like drains.
Hence the recent additional need of a specialist drainage survey for South West London properties.
Is your South West London property served by a septic tank or a sewage treatment plant?
If so, are you aware of all the South West London area environmental and building regulations?

Drain clearance
"I have used Happy Drains before, and again they provided an excellent service from the original phone call right up to the finished job. We were out when they arrived, and just got back after they finished, but after a mobile phone call they proceeded immediately. Everything was tidy, clean and in place on our return, so if you have a problem of this nature, I can honestly recommend Happy Drains 100%. Finally the cost of £114 was real value for money."

Blocked outside drain
"Super impressed. Tommy and Gordon showed up within hours of my distressed phone call as our outside drain was completely blocked. They fixed it within minutes and shared their expertise for preventing blockage in the future. Friendly, courteous, incredibly knowledgeable and professional. My only go to from now on. "
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. "
Happy drains - highly recommend
"Had a blocked sink pipe. Called a few companies, these guys were responsive on a Sunday, came out the next day, the chap called me when he was an hour away. When he arrived he was incredibly friendly and helpful. Fixed the issue and even got a message afterwards checking everything went well. 10/10 customer service and the price they offered was the most competitive. Would highly recommend."

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.
