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.

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.

Excellent, knowledgeable and creative
"We had a drain survey carried out at the request of our architect prior to building work. The man from Happy Drains was extremely helpful. He suggested a pragmatic solution to the situation which was far more simple (and much cheaper) than the original approach that was planned. The architect was very impressed."
Blocked bath drain
"My bath wasn't draining so I sent an enquiry to happy drains. The contacted me within an hour and booked to come and take a look the same day. They arrived during the given time slot, identified the problem and fixed it all within half an hour. Very happy with the service and would use them again. "
Unblock an outside pipe
"Unfortunately the pipe was blocked with concrete which appears to have happened when the garden fence was erected. However, the tradesman wrote the reason it was blocked on the invoice which helped when I contacted the tradesmen who erected the fence."

Unblock drain re kitchen sink
"Happy Drains sent Alex who was superbly focused and dedicated. He rapidly identified the blocked kitchen sink that had not been resolved by a plumber was a drainage issue (as suspected), found the drains, identified the correct one linked to the kitchen, sent a camera down to find the blockage, and rinsed it away with high pressure water jet. Took an hour, with a lot accomplished. No additional or unexpected charges. Very happy with their service and professionalism (given dealing with these sorts of issues can be a minefield of distrust)."
