Highly satisfied - a great company to deal with
Wow, what a brilliant service provided. The engineer fully explained how my drain system worked, and then told me what he was doing as he carried out his work. He was friendly, respectful, and extremely knowledgeable. He offered great advice, and options for the repairs, and he prioritised them. When I received the full interactive report, I was amazed at the clarity of the cctv drain footage, and the ability to understand and physically see the stages at where the repairs were recommended in the sewer system. In summary, a brilliant job from start to finish. I highly recommend Happy drains'

The operator who attended was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and efficient, taking the time to explain what was needed and getting everything sorted without any hassle. The whole experience was easy from start to finish, and we were really impressed with the quick turnaround and quality of service. We would definitely use Happy Drains again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

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 Stourbridge
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.

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?

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! "

Their engineer arrived slightly earlier than arranged, after telephoning to confirm that this would be acceptable. He fixed the problem in less than 30 minutes, and checked that everything was satisfactory before leaving. "

All Stafford CCTV surveys include our state of the art Drainify reporting software. Check out the demo:
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.

Unblock Drain
"Certainly! Here's a revised version: --- I recently had an emergency with blocked drains and contacted Happy Drains for a Sunday call-out. I was thoroughly impressed with their swift response and professionalism. Despite it being the weekend, they arrived promptly and resolved the issue efficiently. The team clearly explained everything, putting my mind at ease. Their excellent service and dedication were truly commendable. I highly recommend Happy Drains for any urgent needs and wouldn't hesitate to use them again."
Quickest and easiest unblocking i've seen!
"After so many expensive quotes from other companies regarding a clogged drain outside our kitchen window - Happy Drains answered our questions on Checkatrade and gave us a set quote - After talking to them on the phone, the team were kind, honest and fully transparent about how the day would go - One of their team members (unfortunately didn't get his name) came over, took one look at the drain, unblocked it and was on his merry way! Will definitely be recommending this company to friends and family!! Thank you so much team! "
Simple gully clearance.
"Very prompt service and reasonable price. Helpful help desk too - very impressed."
Great communication and fixed price drain clearance
"From the first phone call enquiring about drain clearance with Emily to the actual work being carried out was less than 3 hours. I knew immediately upfront what the cost would be and how much extra if a Saturday call out was needed. I was kept informed by phone and email and received a call from the engineers 30 mins prior to arrival. They very quickly identified and cleared the problem clearing up any slight mess they made. Hope not to need this service again but if I do would Happily use Happy drains again."

Kitchen drain Blocked
"I had a big block on my kitchen drain. My kitchen is the result of a garage conversion with long drains and hard access. Happy drains came after a few hours from my call and fixed the problem. They had to open an access on the laundry and charged a reasonable amount to do that. Very happy and would call them again!"
Bath room sink unblock
"Bathroom sink was blocked long time. Profisonal plumbing company engineers visited and advice the bathroom sink plumbing work is wrong. But happy Drain engineer visit used the aqua back Hoover problem solved. As a customer I have no hesitate to recommend this company."
Blocked drain
"Quick response; good diagnosis on what to do; right equipment to clear the problem; did the job and explained how to reduce recurrence / maintainence. Good people to do work locally. And fair pricing"
