Customer in Gosport
Great Service! Quick response! Well priced!
I have used Happy Drains Gosport a few times when the drains have been blocked. They are always quick to come out and they do a very good job. They left the area clean and tidy. They even email images of the issue with a full report which I personally find very helpful. They are well priced and I have no complaints at all. I would recommend them highly for anyone with a blocked drain.

Blocked drains
Very helpful telephone call with Laura on Friday resulting in Damien coming first thing on Saturday to successfully unblock my drains. They are a very pleasant company to deal with and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone needing help in clearing their drains.
Customer in Petersfield
Very good customer service
Happy Drains undertook a pre house purchase drain survey. They were very efficient and sent the survey outcome report promptly. What impressed me the most was their willingness to explain some of their findings and provide detailed advice
Customer in Waterlooville
Drain unblock
Great service from start to finish. Ordering the service was easy with the online form. The contact phone call early in the morning to confirm that Happy Drains rep would be with us between 0800-1200 was very comforting. The engineer himself was extremely professional and cleared the blockage very quickly. He then cleaned the whole system and ensured we had no other issues before he left. The cost of all this was very reasonable considering other comparable companies. Please pass on my thanks to all concerned. ?'??'??'?

Reliable service
I called Happy Drains to sort out a problem for my parents, who find it difficult to source and arrange services themselves. My communication with Happy Drains was efficient and understanding. I received information and return calls as promised, and the appointment took place as scheduled. Drainage for upstairs bathroom cleared, with photos supplied with the invoice and explanation of work completed. Very reasonable price. I recommend this company.
Customer in Alton
Kitchen Sink Drain Blockage
Telephoned Happy Drains early morning. Was told a technician would come to me late afternoon. He arrived at 4pm after telephoning to advise his arrival time. He asked where the blockage was and then got on with clearing it. No time wasted. Once the U bend had been taken apart the blockage was sucked out. Then the U bend was reassembled to show me the blockage had been cleared. All done very efficiently and effectively with very little mess being caused. I was very pleased and impressed.

Customer in Southampton
Toilet drain unblock
Very professional, despite it being very difficult to unblock as it was a very bad blockage from build up on old pipes. The man (unsure of his name) ensured that the drain was fully unblocked even though it took around an hour and a half. Very reasonable price given the difficulty of the job, there is absolutely nothing I could fault him on.

Blocked drain that runs under house.
"Had a blockage from the sink drain that runs under my house. Called at 9:05 and engineer arrived within 3 hours and got the problem sorted within 25 mins of arrival making myself and my drain happy. Had the same done 3 years ago and cost nearly double with one of the larger companies so decided to go local and worked out well on all fronts. "
Kitchen Waste Clearance
"Very effective service, timely arrival (when promised), collaborative approach (listened to what work had already been understaken), speedy resolution (less than 20 minutes) - would definitly use again"
Main soil pipe blokage was cleared.
"Professional, courteous and reliable. The call was booked with a friendly and professional demeanour. The tradesman who visited was clear in explaining what was required and the work that was carried out after he'd completed it. The blockage was mainly due to a build up of limescale over a very long period of time and was cleared quickly and effectively. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Happy Drains."
