We had a clogged up manhole.

"I phoned up at 9.35am, lovely and courteous lady went through my issues and she notified me that an engineer would be at my home within the hour. Within 42 minutes of my first phone call, the engineer (I GAGE) we didn't catch his name had arrived, he was highly professional and located the blockage and within 1 hour and 22 minutes of the first call, the block was sorted. Happy Drains I can't fault, professional and very prompt. We're happy and my neighbour was delighted too as his toilet flushed properly now. Awesome work, many thanks."

To unblock domestic outside drain

"Top class from start to finish. I rang at around 09.30 about a blocked drain outside the kitchen of our house and it was cleared by 11.30. The lady who answered the phone called me straight back after checking availability and gave me a booking time of 11.00-12.00 - luckily we were en route for one of the engineers. Got a call from the engineer around 10.15 to say he would be here at 11.00 and he was. He was friendly, efficient, very respectful of social distancing and had the drain cleared very quickly, tidying up thoroughly before he left. Online payment easy and receipt emailed. Awesome!"

Drain Blockage

"Can't speak highly enough of the service we received from Happy Drains. Called them up because we had a blocked drain...manhole overflowing! Lady we spoke to was very efficient, booked us in the next day and then called first thing to confirm time. Really pleasant and helpful engineer (Tommy) came, reassured us that it probably wouldn't be anything serious, he flushed it out (fat berg!), cleaned everything down and disinfected the area. Gave really good advice about maintenance but didn't push to sell us anythingl. Honestly, trust these guys, proper old fashioned customer service."

Clearing sewer pipe

"I called out of hours, they arrived by 10.00 the next day. They cleared the blockage without any issue. Strong recommend!"

Build Over Survey in Hampshire?

The local council planning departments and Water Company in Southampton SO14 will often insist when building over their pipework that full due care and attention is undertaken. 

This is measured in what is called pre and post drainage surveys.  This shows them the condition of the pipe prior to any build and after the build to ensure that their assets have not been damaged during any works.

We are specialists in such Southampton drainage surveys.

Cleared drain blockage

"Really professional and turned up earlier than planned (with notice) and did the job quickly with no interruptions."

Blocked rainwater drain cleared as far as possible

"Gary and Nathan arrived extremely promptly, located the problem and explained clearly what they needed to do. Work carried out efficiently, showing me what was the likely cause of the problem - silt and roots. Advised on possible future action. The whole area was cleaned after so much black silt washing about after jetting! Very happy with the service. Appreciated having been given a fixed price for the job in advance."
