Blocked Toilet
"The speed of response was excellent. From the online quote to arranging a convenient date couldn't have been easier. The plumber who attended was efficient and professional. The price was very fair, and there was no suggestion of trying to "upsell" anything. Good job very well done. Thanks"
Manhole blocked
"Very helpful and good price. Had a window for booking, got a call when half hour out. Arrived and sorted our drain blockage all very quickly. Thanks."
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."
Clearing a difficult to access drain
"Happy Drains rang 15 mins before they attended. The attendant was friendly and personable. He had to break the drain cover to access the years of fat and grease accumulated, due to the laying of a new drive blocking access to the grate. He had useful advice on keeping the drain clear in future and cleaned all the mess and took away. This was all done very quickly. A satisfied customer. Would recommend."

Blocked Drain
"Very quick and no fuss. Damien showed up on time and had all the equipment needed. Sink functioning in less than an hour. Highly recommend."
Drain blockage
"I contacted Happy Drains to arrange for my mother's drain to be unblocked. It is stressful being 200 miles from my elderly mother, who struggles to maintain her home. I am very grateful to Happy Drains for such a seamless service, as they sorted out the issue in no time and provided good advice on next steps to avoid a repeat of the problem."
Happy drains made a happy customer
"Had a blocked down pipe that was causing gutter water to back up. Called Happy Drains on Friday afternoon and they sent someone out on Monday morning. Called prior to arrival and once he arrived he explained what he was going to do and what issues may transpire. Worked quickly and the drain was cleared in no time. Will definitely use Happy drains again if I ever have a drain problem."
kitchen drain completely blocked
"Their service was exceptional. Very professional, and they solved the most important problem! Considering that two plumbers and Thames Water visited us but only tried to rush and squeeze extra money, resolving the problem partially. "

Unblock drains outside
"From making the enquiry to the finished job a very professional service was given. My booking was confirmed by phone. The team rang me to give me eta on arrival they got on with the job immediately . Cleared blocked drains and hosed down leaving everything clean and tidy. Ten out of ten service and good value "
Outside runoff drain to mains was backed up and overflowing.
"Called them on a Saturday when the drain was especially playing up and within 20 minutes they rang back with the job booked in for the Monday. Friendly, prompt service on the phone, same again when the fella turned up. Done in 10 minutes. Didn't have to pay him then and there, but instead was issued online invoice and link to super-simple payment procedure. Brilliant. Highly recommended; will definitely use them again - just hope I won't have to! "
Incredibly helpful
"Just moved into new home &found drains blocked. Water company said couldn't come out for 3-5 days, - too long if you can't use the loo! Left message for Gary. Even though it was Sunday, he called back really quickly and talked us through what problem might be, reassured us we'd be okay overnight, and if the water company still wasn't able to attend, he'd come out Monday to fix things. Thankfully, water company engineer very helpfully appeared at 6pm and cleared things. Gary called back early Monday to check on us, and was again so helpful. Couldn't ask for someone more helpful!"
