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.

sewer pipe blockage
Tommy & Gordon Happy Drains' amazing guys, saved me from another drainage company I called who overcharged for their incomplete services and wanted several £1000's! for further work! Found & phoned Happy Drains for second opinion. Will @ Happy Drains was so helpful and got Tommy & Gordon on the case. They arrived promptly and using their camera technology found the issue, and cleared the drains. No additional work required! Received very clear report of work with photos. Very reasonable price. Honest, trustworthy, tidy and HAPPY, cannot praise them enough!!!!!!!!!!

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.

Avril, Jack and Jordan were all outstanding and insisted on visiting twice to ensure that all my drains were completely clear. Efficient, knowledgeable and working to very high standard. All for a very competitive fixed price. This company is excellent. Thank you.
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!

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.

Drain unblocking
"Did the job as requested. Communicated well throughout the process. Cost as quoted."
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."

"Happy drains was very courteous right from 1st phone call to completion. The man that came was very professional, helpful. Cleaned up after himself and carried out several checks and didn't leave until he was satisfied the job was complete. I would highly recommend happy drains.. Thankyou. "

Toilet unblocking
"We had Arran come round to unblock our toilet after I tried all the usual DIY attempts. He explained everything fully, told us the options and tried everything possible without going in to the more costly fixes. He completed the job within the an hour and the cost was exactly what was quoted on the phone. He explained how to prevent it happening again and had a great chat about other DIY things around the house. Definitely would recommend. "
