Unblocking a very blocked kitchen drain!
Called Happy Drains late one evening to unblock our main kitchen drain which was crucial to dealing with the aftermath of a huge birthday party. Thankfully the wonderful plumber came as he said he would at noon and within twenty minutes had fixed the problem and checked that all was working both inside in the sinks and outside in the sewer lines. He cleared up carefully and very politely took his leave. A very satisfying experience!
Outside drains were blocked.
Happy drains man pre called me . He arrived when he said . He sorted my stubborn drains out . He was pleasant and professional. Payment process was amazing on my phone I was really impressed.
Blocked drain
A fantastic, professional service from Joe today from when he called to say he was on his way until the job was completed. Not a straightforward job due to a concealed/hidden manhole, Joe was knowledgeable and managed to get the job done! Highly recommend!

We've developed specialist approaches for Billingshurst properties that minimize future disruption from clay-related drainage issues.

Clay soil expansion and contraction can shift pipe joints over time, while mature trees send roots seeking water sources directly into drain lines. Many older properties in Billingshurst were built before modern drainage standards, making them more susceptible to recurring problems that require professional intervention and sometimes system upgrades.
