Blocked drains
"This was carried out for my 87yo mother, who lives 200miles from me. Your plumber was fantastic and really put my mother at ease. He was kind, understanding of my mother's vulnerability and highly professional. He went way beyond what might normally be expected. In an age where the elderly can be taken advantage of, I can only highly recommend Happy Drains as top class and value for money. "

The team clearly explained everything, putting my mind at ease. Their excellent service and dedication were truly commendable. I highly recommend Happy Drains for any urgent needs and wouldn't hesitate to use them again."
