Efficient office management, alongside the job, with appropriate contact by email and messages, through to Invoice. Very pleased with the whole service. "

Heavily blocked waste pipes.
"Fantastic service and employees. Arranging the appointment was exceptionally easy as the people on the phones were friendly and efficient. Jason from Happy Drains arrived on time and even called ahead to let us know exactly when he'd be arriving. Jason was polite and friendly from beginning to end. He sorted out the problem far quicker than expected considering the dire state of the blockage. After he'd done a wonderful job he then explained exactly how it had happened in detail, what needed to be fixed and told me some preventative measures to help avoid the problem from recurring until then."
