Drain unblocked quickly and efficiently!
"Happy Drains were great! Friendly on the phone, turned up on time and phoned ahead to let me know they were arriving. The plumber was lovely, got straight to the job, worked out what was going on, explained to me what the problem was and resolved it. Now a free-flowing drain again and I was delighted with the experience - thanks Happy Drains!"
Drain unblocking
"Excellent company to deal with. Polite, friendly and reasonably priced. A credit to the drain industry! Will certainly be recommending them and will be using them again. Special mention and thanks to Josh the expert drain man. Finally, paying them online (following receipt of invoice) was so easy, if you use the weblink they send you. Why can't all trades companies be like this?!"
Drain clearance
"I have used Happy Drains before, and again they provided an excellent service from the original phone call right up to the finished job. We were out when they arrived, and just got back after they finished, but after a mobile phone call they proceeded immediately. Everything was tidy, clean and in place on our return, so if you have a problem of this nature, I can honestly recommend Happy Drains 100%. Finally the cost of £114 was real value for money."

Blocked outside drain
"very efficient service. Fixed price quoted over the phone and invoice received by email. As promised, I received a call to tell me he was on his way. Once he arrived he got on with the job, with the minimum fuss, cleared the drain, thoroughly tested to make sure it was completely clear and left with no mess."
So quick!
"Within an hour of phoning on 30 December my drain was sorted!"
Blocked drain
"Quick response; good diagnosis on what to do; right equipment to clear the problem; did the job and explained how to reduce recurrence / maintainence. Good people to do work locally. And fair pricing"
Excellent Service
"I had a blocked exterior drain that was backing up into the house and needed an emergency call out. I called for a quote and Happy Drains called me back to say they couldn't get out to me due to unforeseen circumstances but were Happy to talk me through clearing the blockage over the phone. 10/10 service!"

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."
Blocked Soak Away
"Company was able to give me an appointment next morning. Engineer called to tell me his arrival time. Very courteous and polite. Quickly got on with the job. Explained what he would be doing. He used a high power jet washer and hosed down all the affected areas. Gave me advice on how to prevent a recurrence. He was then able to issue an on-line invoice for the fixed price I was quoted. Total time taken for the job was abot 45minutes. Very pleased with the service, price and quality of the work. I would highly reccommend."
INitially cleared blockage but found root mass in the sewer so cleared that as well
"Not used this company before but when I was unable to clear a blockage in my sewer line I gave them a call. They were responsive and the engineer just got to work, identified where the sewer ran then blasted it clear. The sewer was running again within 15 mins. The knowledgeable engineer said he believed there were roots in the sewer as he could "feel" them. A camera run showed the root mass and where located. He blasted the roots from the inside then found that the majority were ingressing through the side of the sump on one of the manholes so cleared those too. Highly recommend this company"

Blocked drain
"Called Happy Drains as couldn't unblock my drain with my rods. The guy came and connected his jet wash to my hosepipe and sprayed the jet along the pipe with immediate effect! Unblocked in less than than 5 minutes. Excellent customer service and so rewarding to have running drains again. It was a build up of fat. "
