Main drain for household waste water blocked
Engineer arrived in good time. Could see what the problem was and removed the blockage effectively. He cleaned the area afterwards. I would be very happy to use this company again and recommend to others.
Drain totally blocked
Happy Drains have been amazing from start to finish, the lady on the phone was super helpful and booked us in as soon as possible. She also gave us a quote on the phone and promised it was a set price which was great (I had to double check as it was almost half as much as another company's quote!) Our engineer rang half an hour before arrival as promised, was such a lovely guy I can't thank him enough for doing such a thorough job! He even spent time talking to our neighbours to check the blockage wasn't effecting their houses! 100% recommended
Blocked toilet

Our engineers are strategically positioned to serve Mansfield NG18, Newark NG22, and Southwell NG25 efficiently
Call Now: 07824 757572Our two decades serving Mansfield have shown us how the town's mix of Victorian terraces, post-war council housing, and modern developments each present unique drainage challenges. The older cast iron pipes in central Mansfield properties are particularly prone to root ingress, while newer estates around Forest Town often struggle with inadequate falls on modern plastic pipework. We've developed specific approaches for each housing type, ensuring effective solutions whether you're in a period property near the market square or a contemporary home on the outskirts.
Properties around Southwell and the rural areas of NG22 and NG25 often rely on septic tanks and package treatment plants rather than mains sewerage. These systems require specialist knowledge to maintain correctly, particularly given Nottinghamshire's clay-heavy soil conditions that can affect soakaway performance. Our engineers understand the local environmental requirements and work with landowners to ensure their off-mains drainage remains compliant and efficient.
Nottinghamshire's geology, with its mix of clay and sandstone, creates specific drainage patterns we've learned to work with over our years serving the region. Clay soils around Mansfield can shift seasonally, affecting pipe joints and creating blockage points, while areas with sandstone bedrock may have different root penetration patterns. This local knowledge helps us diagnose problems faster and recommend the most appropriate long-term solutions for each specific location.
A property in Sutton‑in‑Ashfield (NG17) experienced foul water pooling around an external gully, with slow discharge and rising water indicating a solid blockage.
Drainage restored and all wastewater discharged correctly, eliminating odour and hygiene risks.
Blocked toilet causing foul waste backup into the property
Flow restored and toilet operational on departure
An external gully at a property in NG7 was overflowing, causing dirty water to collect around the rear of the property and creating a slip and hygiene hazard.
The gully was left free-flowing and the standing water issue was fully resolved, restoring a clean and safe environment around the property.

Emergency response times across our Nottinghamshire coverage area are typically 1-2 hours, sometimes faster depending on traffic on the A617 and A614. Our engineers are strategically positioned to serve Mansfield NG18, Newark NG22, and Southwell NG25 efficiently, even during peak hours.
We serve the complete Mansfield region including all of NG18, plus Newark (NG22) and Southwell (NG25). This covers everything from Mansfield town centre and Forest Town to the rural properties around Southwell and Newark's surrounding villages - essentially anywhere in our defined Nottinghamshire coverage zone.
Victorian and Edwardian properties in central Mansfield often suffer from tree root infiltration, particularly where mature trees line the streets. We also see issues with cast iron pipes that have deteriorated over time, plus the usual culprits like cooking fat buildup and inappropriate items being flushed in both period and modern homes.
Absolutely recommended for Southwell's period properties, where hidden drainage problems can be expensive surprises. A pre-purchase CCTV survey reveals the true condition of drains and sewers, potentially saving thousands in unexpected repairs. Many Nottinghamshire properties have original clay pipes that may need attention.
Our team brings over 20 years of drainage expertise to every Mansfield job, reflected in our exceptional 9.76/10 Checkatrade rating from more than 6,000 verified customer reviews. We're Water Safe Approved, NADC members, and carry £10 million insurance coverage, giving you complete confidence in our work.
Severn Trent Water maintains the public sewers in Nottinghamshire, but if the blockage is in your private drains (typically within your property boundary), that's our responsibility to clear. We can quickly determine whether it's a private drain issue we can fix immediately or a public sewer problem requiring Severn Trent involvement.
The area's mix of clay soils and varying ground levels means surface water can overwhelm drainage systems during heavy downpours, particularly where gullies haven't been maintained regularly. We see this pattern across similar areas of Nottinghamshire where leaves and debris block the gully grids, preventing proper water flow into the drainage system.
