Blocked Drain

"Turned up promptly, assessed the situation, confirmed the quote and cleared the drain. All very quick and efficient with a very cheerful and polite tradesman. Couldn't have gone better."

Bathroom sink unblocked

"I attempted to unblock our bathroom sink using a plunger, then sink clearing chemicals and finally removing and confirming the u-bend was clear, all to no avail. I went on the Checkatrade website and found Happy Drains. I called and booked a plumber to come the following day. The plumber arrived as expected, was professional, polite and got to work straight away. He cleared the blockage that was further down the pipework using a wet vacuum within 10 minutes. It's been perfect ever since."

Blocked drain

"Excellent service. Immediate and friendly client attention by phone. Appointment was booked to the next day, receiving a plumber call prior arrival. Plumber sorted the clog effectively in less than 30 min. Invoice link was sent to phone. All clear and quick. Would highly recommend."

Severe drain blockage cleared fast

"We used the Basingstoke branch, and I couldn't be happier. We had a severe blockage in our main waste pipe due to previous owners dumping grease for years. I called in the morning, they came just after lunch. The engineer was friendly and knowledgeable and explained every step thoroughly, cheerfully answering my questions (I'm curious about everything) and did the job quickly and with a great sense of humour, letting me fill the fatburgs that flowed out. Price was brilliant too. Couldn't recommend enough. "
