Sewer pipes & investigation.

"A mucky job which was carried out very efficiently by Tony. He arrived on time on the appointment day, no faffing about. I was kept in touch with photos and any recommendations for the future which I could actually 'talk' with someone to discuss this. The office/booking team (Emily) extremely efficient and friendly. Reasonable price too. A good team and a handy number to have in your phone!"

Clearing blocked drains

"I called the company after a recommendation and a man arrived later the same day. He was friendly and professional, quickly set up the equipment and worked his magic with the two blocked drains. He offered advice on keeping the drains clear in future and made sure the area was clean and tidy before he left. I have no hesitation in recommending this firm."

Drain and sewer clearance

"Realised I had a problem when had to almost swim to the car. Thought I was covered by B Gas Homecare but I wasn't. Called out Happy Drains, competitive price, friendly and helpful on the phone. Turned up when they said they would. Quickly assessed the situation and cleared the sewer. Cleaned up and left. Staff were friendly and polite. I couldn't ask for more, would recommend them "

Blocked kitchen sink drain

"I noticed that the patio was awash with soapy water and realised that the drain leading from the kitchen sink was blocked and overflowing. I phoned Happy Drains and they were so helpful. Arranged for someone to call round between 1 and 3. I arrived home at 12.55 to find them patiently waiting outside. They were very friendly and helpful. Did a thorough job clearing the drain, lifting the manhole cover and making sure the water was flowing freely. I was delighted with their service and would definitely recommend them."

Perfect Service

"Martin was very helpful and unblocked our back garden drain in no time. He was very professional and mindful of the house, he didn't leave a mess and was gone within half hour. Couldn't be happier!"

Blocked domestic manhole

"From the moment I picked up the phone to contact someone about the blockage to the work completed the service was exceptional. Kelly knew what work I would need doing with my frantic explanation and calmly and professionally advised she would contact me back with an update. 10 minutes later I was told I could have an engineer in as little as 2 hours. The engineer arrived promptly. Professional, friendly service carried out with honest and transparent future care advice. Was able to easily Apple Pay an hour later for service following my invoice. No hidden fees. Cost was as advised. Very happy."
