External drain unblocking
"Excellent, speedy service from a friendly, knowledgeable drainage engineer. Happy Drains will be my choice next time."
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."
1st time customer - Excellent experience
"1st time using Checkatrade. Polite and efficient experience from beginning to end, with clear/ transparent pricing + quick availability of plumber. I chose to use Happy Drains... who were available same day to unblock kitchen sink. Damian from Happy Drains was friendly and cheerful, but always polite and professional and persistent with unblocking drain. Damian had a powerful acqua vac that was required to unblock the drain. Not an easy job, but Damian persisted and determined to get job done. No surprises with charges...exactly as quoted and very reasonable. Recommended."
Highly recommended
"Came out the same day. Charged a good price and cleared the drain very quickly."

They came on time, were quick and efficient and left everything tidy and clean. It was a difficult and smelly job since the drains were very blocked up. SO appreciate the wonderful service, could not recommend more!"
Blocked drain
"Amazing service. I couldn't recommend these guys highly enough. I don't have his name but the young man who came took well over 2 hours to fix our problem which had accumulated over 40 years.
