Unblocking kitchen drain.
"The blockage was quickly cleared, service was efficient and friendly."
Drain unblocked
"Arrived on time. Explained the issue. Cleared in 10 mins. Excellent. However, little over priced. "
Blocked bathroom toilet
"They could not clear it initially so went outside and cleared the drain which they didn't need to (as that should be a Council responsibilty) - would recommend this company every time"
Clearance of blocked soak away
"Several people looked at the issue, suggesting that significant works may be needed to resolve. Spoke to Happy Drains, explained things well over the phone, suggested it may be a simple job to unblock it. Arrived quickly, did the job and all seems well. Very pleased "

Unblock Drain
"Certainly! Here's a revised version: --- I recently had an emergency with blocked drains and contacted Happy Drains for a Sunday call-out. I was thoroughly impressed with their swift response and professionalism. Despite it being the weekend, they arrived promptly and resolved the issue efficiently. 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."
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."
Foul smell in bathroom
"I had a disgusting smell of sewage coming through my pipes in the bathroom, after trying to solve the problem myself unsuccessfully i called Happy Drains and Alex arrived as planned, as soon as he flushed the loo he knew instantly what the problem was - a blockage in the pipes. To say he solved my problem is an understatement, he went to both of my neighbours to check their drains until he found the blockage and then went ahead and flushed the pipes through. He was a true gentleman, polite, funny and very caring. I highly recommend this company and especially Alex. Thank you Alex"
