Blocked downstairs toilet
Great experience from start to finish unblocking a downstairs toilet! From Emma processing the job to Mark arriving punctually the next morning and completing the job so efficiently, could not have asked for a better service.
Good service and fixed the problem.
Happy Drains did a great job, it was easy to book an appointment with them over the phone, their engineer got in touch direct he arrived on time and had the blocked drain fixed with no fuss. Also the price was really good and payment was made easy via the payment link/website. I would definitely recommend Happy Drains 👍 Justin
