Customer in Birmingham
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'

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 Stafford

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.

Drain Clearing
The main drain from the back of our dwelling to the main sewer was blocked. Tried to jet clear myself with Karcher jetter but I wasn't successful. Use Checkatrade to find a contractor. Happy Drains Ltd replied within minutes. Sorted out a technician to arrive afternoon of the next day. Chris, the technician, rang 30 minutes prior to arrival. 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?

Blocked drain
"I had a major blockage in one of my drains. Called happy drains who responded very quickly. It took a couple of attempts to clear but they done an amazing job"
The main drain from bathroom blocked. Backed up to kitchen drain.
"This was my 87 yr old mother's house. We lifted the manhole cover thinking maybe we could unblock it, but it was full. So any water drainage was just overflowing. Euch!! A neighbour recommended Happy Drains. Phoned them about 9.30 Saturday morning. They were with her by 6. They kept in contact all day to let us know the expected arrival time. Super friendly, excellent communication, good price. Great service, especially for my elderly mum. Thankyou"
Excellent service
"Excellent service. Quick response and sorted the problem in no time."
Main drain was completely blocked
"I called them in the morning. The person who answered was extremely nice, knowledgeable and helpful. An appointment was booked for that same afternoon. The engineer called 45mn before arriving and was right on time. He was very nice, polite and did a great job. They all made the costs very clear all along. My problem was solved, there no surprises with the price which was perfectly justified. I will definitely call them again if I have a problem again."

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.
