Customer in Paddington
Unblocking of Exterior Gutter Downpipe
Fast, friendly same-day service. The plumber was professional, efficient, and handled a tricky blocked drain on the side of our 4th-storey building with care. All sorted quickly-despite the 30-degree heat!
Customer in Kilburn
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.

"This is the second time I have used Happy Drains the Service provided last time was superb. This time it was even better!

Joe attended and was absolutely first class keeping me updated directly at the request of my confused elderly mother. It is so reassuring to be kept informed of the detail when you are 80 miles away so I could explain it in simple terms to my mother, I recommend Happy Drains 100% and commend Joe for the 5* Service."
