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.

A happy company with great people. Deal with confidence.

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).

Unblocked drains.
Very efficient and friendly service - very satisfied.
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.

Survey for extent of blockage and clear blockage
Lee is an absolute professional. He identified a man hole where the roots where causing the blockage using the footage on the camera. He then helped locate the man hole and removed roots. Then used high pressure jet hose to loosen compacted toilet paper. Blockage sorted in under an hour. Would recommend and will be using happy drains going forward. All costs were stated up front.

Great Service! Quick response! Well priced!
"I have used Happy Drains Gosport a few times when the drains have been blocked. They are always quick to come out and they do a very good job. They left the area clean and tidy. They even email images of the issue with a full report which I personally find very helpful. They are well priced and I have no complaints at all. I would recommend them highly for anyone with a blocked drain."
Blocked outside drains
"Very courteous plumber, explained everything he was doing and investigated thoroughly to find out the problem and then fixed it. "
Main soil pipe blokage was cleared.
"Professional, courteous and reliable. The call was booked with a friendly and professional demeanour. The tradesman who visited was clear in explaining what was required and the work that was carried out after he'd completed it. The blockage was mainly due to a build up of limescale over a very long period of time and was cleared quickly and effectively. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Happy Drains."

CCTV Drainage Investigations and Surveys in Thatcham
We invest in the latest leading-edge drainage tech, to give you an accurate reading using industry best practice of what we find. It will highlight any drainage defects, such as fracturing, joint displacements and root intrusion.
Once we understand the defects with your Thatcham drains we will be able to provide the best value solution. The costs and explanations of the works recommended are detailed and explained in our report to you.
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.
