Highly recommend.
Called Happy Drains as although drain wasn't blocked it was smelling and there were drains flies. Excellent communication from all, keeping me informed as to time etc. They came the next day, on time, and hosed the drains out. Very nice guy, did the job efficiently, left drain clean and running freely, and within a few days 99% of the drains flies were gone. Highly recommend.
Trustworthy and reasonable
We were very happy with service provided and quotation was reasonable. Engineers made sure they sent us some pics after the work was completed which helped to assess the issue was fixed.

Kilburn's mature tree-lined streets contribute to increased leaf debris entering drainage systems during autumn, while winter's freeze-thaw cycles can damage aging pipe joints common in NW6's period properties. Reduced rainfall flow and increased indoor cooking during colder months also leads to more grease-related blockages. Our preventive maintenance helps Kilburn residents avoid these seasonal drainage problems.
