Quality work from Happy Drains.
Excellent service from start to finish with Happy Drains. Would highly recommend the company to others. Quality work carried out on site, was kept informed along the way, work completed to a high standard and was checked and rechecked before leaving site. They even cleared up the broken and damaged drain parts and made area looking good again before leaving. Felt pricing was fair given the work involved and happily paid the bill the same day as felt confident in the workmanship.
Customer in Matlock
Fair set price, no funny business just a great and reliable service.
Brilliant as always. I've used Happy drains on many occasions for my holiday let properties and here is why - they charge a flat fee and never have a problem spending a little extra time if required, they are always professional and arrive on time and with the required equipment and always get the job done. If they can't fix it straight away they are quick with the CCTV to diagnose without charging silly money. They are honest, reliable and that is why I only use happy drains.
Customer in Tipton
Blockage in ground floor wc
The work was carried out very professionally and the problem was investigated to resolve the cause of the blockage. The final report was very detailed to explain the issue after completion of the work, which was very helpful to understand the problem. Images of the work were taken and sent in the final report with detailed actions taken. The team at Happy Drains kept me informed throughout the day of any issues.

Toilet unblocking
We had Arran come round to unblock our toilet after I tried all the usual DIY attempts. He explained everything fully, told us the options and tried everything possible without going in to the more costly fixes. He completed the job within the an hour and the cost was exactly what was quoted on the phone. He explained how to prevent it happening again and had a great chat about other DIY things around the house. Definitely would recommend.

Blocked sink drainage pipe
Having had a different company the day before to try and clear the blockage to my sink and were unable to resolve the problem, I then called Happy drains. Aaron the drain engineer was brilliant. He had cameras and jets which where needed for this job as it was a little more complicated than the usual blocked sink. Although a difficult job Aaron was great. He was determined not to be beaten and to find a way to get the job done. I will definitely use Happy Drains again especially if all the engineers are as tenacious as Aaron.

Job done in 101-15 minutes (it was a serious blockage). Chris cleared up before he went. More than happy with the solution to our problem - very professional and very timely.

Stafford CCTV Drain Survey & Drainage Investigation
Staffordshire, ST16
In Stafford we are particularly good at drain surveys and investigations
There’s no doubt about it, moving home is expensive, and Stafford Home Buyer’s structural surveys used to be relatively straightforward.
A building surveyor would attend the Stafford house you were going to buy and undertake inspection, ranging from the entry level ‘valuation’ up to the ‘full structural’, none of which were cheap. The majority of buyers would opt for the entry level and least expensive option their mortgage lender would accept in Stafford Staffordshire ST16. Against a backdrop of litigation and a compensation culture, surveyors have had no choice but to add disclaimers about anything he or she can’t actually see or inspect, especially underground services like drains.
Hence the recent additional need of a specialist drainage survey for Stafford properties.
Is your Stafford property served by a septic tank or a sewage treatment plant?
If so, are you aware of all the Stafford area environmental and building regulations?
More importantly, do you know if your Stafford system is compliant with the new regulatory reform called the Small Sewage Discharge General Binding Rules?

Drain clearance
"I have used Happy Drains before, and again they provided an excellent service from the original phone call right up to the finished job. We were out when they arrived, and just got back after they finished, but after a mobile phone call they proceeded immediately. Everything was tidy, clean and in place on our return, so if you have a problem of this nature, I can honestly recommend Happy Drains 100%. Finally the cost of £114 was real value for money."

Drain locating, plotting and mapping in and around Stafford
We use the latest sonde and tracing technology throughout Staffordshire, so we can plot drains by sending a camera with a pulse wave emitting sonde and plot its course with a receiver as it traverses the pipe. We will of course supply you with a comprehensive indicative map of what we've found with depths and direction.
Illegal connections in Stafford and other dodgy works
During the course of any survey we will take the opportunity to make sure that all your drains are connected appropriately.
The causes of illegal Stafford drainage connections range from innocent DIY plumbing mistakes to poor building practices. We regularly find washing machines discharging to the Staffordshire rain drains and rain drains that discharge into a sewer some times because some Stafford home owners have been unaware of the differences between surface water and foul waste drains. However the water company serving Stafford will demand to put these issues right at your own cost.
