Happy drains - highly recommend
Had a blocked sink pipe. Called a few companies, these guys were responsive on a Sunday, came out the next day, the chap called me when he was an hour away. When he arrived he was incredibly friendly and helpful. Fixed the issue and even got a message afterwards checking everything went well. 10/10 customer service and the price they offered was the most competitive. Would highly recommend.

Customer in Abingdon
Unblock drain re kitchen sink
Happy Drains sent Alex who was superbly focused and dedicated. He rapidly identified the blocked kitchen sink that had not been resolved by a plumber was a drainage issue (as suspected), found the drains, identified the correct one linked to the kitchen, sent a camera down to find the blockage, and rinsed it away with high pressure water jet. Took an hour, with a lot accomplished. No additional or unexpected charges. Very happy with their service and professionalism (given dealing with these sorts of issues can be a minefield of distrust).

Customer in Newbury
Blocked drain
My drain was blocked and even though it was a private drain Thames Water didn't clear it. Happy Drains came out within 24 hours and cleared it in a matter of minutes. It turned out it was blocked on my Neighbours property but that wasn't a problem. Happy Drains were very helpful explaining about the private drain. Price seemed very reasonable at £95+VAT compared to some figures I saw in others reviews for different companies. I would definitely use Happy Drains again.

Highly recommend
"I used Happy drains to survey the drains of the house I bought in Kew Gardens SW London. From the initial phone call they were professional and efficient and friendly. The guy turned up on time, very professional and knew his stuff. Turnaround of the report was super quick, it was comprehensive, and included video and was easy to share with the estate agent . It gave me peace of mind to continue with the purchase. They were competitively priced and I would highly recommend "
Severe drain blockage cleared fast
"We used the Basingstoke branch, and I couldn't be happier. We had a severe blockage in our main waste pipe due to previous owners dumping grease for years. I called in the morning, they came just after lunch. The engineer was friendly and knowledgeable and explained every step thoroughly, cheerfully answering my questions (I'm curious about everything) and did the job quickly and with a great sense of humour, letting me fill the fatburgs that flowed out. Price was brilliant too. Couldn't recommend enough. "
Drain Unblocking
"Fantastic, prompt service, our engineer was extremely thorough and very friendly. We had a bit a tricky blockage and have an unusual drainage system but he made sure it was all sorted. Would highly recommend! Thanks. "

Drain Locating, Mapping and Plotting in Thatcham
If you need to know the exact location of your Thatcham drainage pipework, for example, for a ‘build over agreement’, then our technology can help! We send a sonde into the pipework with the camera; the sonde emits a signal which then tracks it as it travels your Thatcham drainage system.
By carrying out this optional extra service, it means we get all the information needed for your plans.
As part of any CCTV drain survey in Thatcham, we will always check to see which drains you have responsibility for and importantly which are not your responsibility. These will all be indicated on the plans and technical report, alongside defects, pictures and a quotation for any remedial works that are needed.
NB If the work that is needed is off your boundary you are not generally responsible for those as they become an asset of the water company if you are on a mains sewer system. We will outline the area and give you an understanding of what's down to you to sort out. It will be an evidence-based approach to prove or disprove a liability.

"Happy Drains receptionist quickly arrange a visit the following morning to unblock our drains. We received a call 45 mins before arrival and the drains which had been blocked for 48 hours were unblocked within a few minutes, which was excellent as man hole covers in a neighbours garden were opened and showed that the drains were being exclusively used by our house. Excellent job by Happy Drains. Wouldn't hesitate to use them again. Quick polite and courteous."
