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.

Downstairs loo and sink unblocking, by jetting upstream from manhole in the garden.
"Brilliant. From the first phone call to saying goodbye. Job explained, job completed and everything works perfectly. The young guy called Tommy from Sunbury was top drawer. Going to do this jetting annually now."
Blocked drain from ensuite.
"Called Happy Drains about 9am as my ensuite toilet was blocked which was the only working toilet at the time. They advised that someone could be with me between 10am and 12noon. Two guys arrived just after 12 and went to work straight away to clear the blockage, which they did quickly, cleanly and professionally. Based on this I would use Happy Drains again. "
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! "
Unblocked a gullley drain
"The man was extremely calm and cheerful and went out of his way, even in pouring rain to clear my drain. I had limited access as the neighbour had built an extension over the manhole, but it didn't phase him and he completed the job."

Toilet/sink blocked
"Polite, knowledgeable , and sorted the problem out in a timely and professional manner, he was a credit to the company with a great work ethic ."
Cleared outside kitchen and toilet
"From the phone call to the colleague coming out was so professional and made me feel they truly cared. The chap who came out was very pleasant and professional rom the beginning.such a nice chap. I would certainly have this company again and recommend them to others. Trust is so important. ?'? "
Clearing a blocked manhole
"Tommy was excellent. Rang and got a same day appointment. Phoned ahead to confirm arrival time. Unlocked the drain quickly with a rod but followed up by jetting the drain to make sure it was entirely clear. Provided a number of good tips on how to avoid future blockage. Tommy was polite friendly and very efficient."
