Blocked drain that runs under house.
"Had a blockage from the sink drain that runs under my house. Called at 9:05 and engineer arrived within 3 hours and got the problem sorted within 25 mins of arrival making myself and my drain happy. Had the same done 3 years ago and cost nearly double with one of the larger companies so decided to go local and worked out well on all fronts. "

Blocked drain from the kitchen sink.
"We had a blockage under the house on the drain that runs from the kitchen sink. A friend who is actually an engineer who specifies drains sad he had used Happy Drains and they were good. The engineer arrived on time and used his camera to locate the blockage which was fat and some sort of sauce that had congealed in the drain. He then used a high pressure water lance to loosen the deposit and then wash it out of the drain. All done in about 50 mins. The fixed fee of £95 plus Vat means you know where you stand and you also get a 60 day guarantee. I would definitely use Happy Drains again."

In an age where the elderly can be taken advantage of, I can only highly recommend Happy Drains as top class and value for money. "
