Highly recommend.
Called Happy Drains as although drain wasn't blocked it was smelling and there were drains flies. Excellent communication from all, keeping me informed as to time etc. They came the next day, on time, and hosed the drains out. Very nice guy, did the job efficiently, left drain clean and running freely, and within a few days 99% of the drains flies were gone. Highly recommend.

Blocked waste pipe.
Awkward job due to position of pipes and connecting mains sewage and parking restrictions for their van (which houses the high pressure pumps etc) but they worked around it and came up with good solutions to unblock the pipe, despite these challenges. Efficient and polite. Fully expected to be charged more fro the work than quoted as it seems to take some time, but the bill was as agreed and I was pleasantly surprised. Good Customer service too. A job well done.
