Blocked sewage drain
"Their Engineer arrived on schedule and was extremely professional, courteous and polite. He wasted no time in clearing the blocked drain and gave advice. We will definitely call Happy Drains again in the future if we have a drain issue."
Partially blocked soil pipe.
"Glad I called Happy Drains when I got an issue with my downstairs toilet overflowing! Damian attended within 24 hours and got straight to it, no fuss, no "hmmmm... (you know what comes next) deep breath intake, etc..). Damian was a pro and worked his way round the problem until it got done. I'm not squeamish for these kind of jobs but I soon realised that blocked drains require professional equipment and experience! Happy customer"
Drain unblocking
"Did the job as requested. Communicated well throughout the process. Cost as quoted."
Drains Blocked
"Very Pleased with the service provided by Happy Drains - I've use them before because they are so good, quick and efficient - Oh and very reasonable compared to some Drain Cleaners we wont name them but you'll know who I mean. Happy Drains were out the day after Id emailed to say I had a problem with my outside drains completely backed up - not a pretty sight. They kept me advised when they were arriving and what to expect - the engineers were both very able and very friendly - they had the drains unblocked very quickly and with minimum fuss. Highly Recommend - I wouldn't use anyone else."

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.

Clear a blocked drain
"Wow what a great service! Messaged Happy drains at about 6pm, an engineer was round about 9.30am the following morning. He identified the problem quickly, cleared it out and implemented a solution to stop it happening again. Cost was very reasonable and as quoted. Very courteous and Knowledgeable engineer. Would 100% recommend Happy Drains."
Drain unblocked
"Arrived on time. Explained the issue. Cleared in 10 mins. Excellent. However, little over priced. "
Back garden drain unblocked
"The challenge was to unblock my drain in the back garden with no rear access. All equipment needed to be brought through the house. It was too much of a risk to use a pressure washer for a single crew. However the engineer fully cleared the drain using his available tools/ equipment."
