Drain / sink pipe unblocked
Excellent prompt Service. Friendly engineer, who fixed issue quickly. Would recommend Happy Drains.
Blocked washing machine drain
Blocked pipe leading from washing machine meant it emptied water all over the floor. I rang for appointment at 9.30 and by 2.30 the guys had been and fixed it. They had to take the main drains cover off and drill "upwards". I never knew you could get fatballs from using fabric conditioner! Utterly lovely guys. Great Service. Great price. In fact, to quote Mary Poppins - Practically Perfect in Every Way. Would HIGHLY recommend them.
Excellent service from Happy Drains Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk.
It turns out we had a plumbing problem rather than the requirement to have our drains cleaned out. The very knowledgeable member of staff knew exactly what was wrong and (even though it meant no business for them) explained what to tell my plumber needed to be looked at. They were spot on with the advice and my smelly shower tray problem was solved in 15 mins. Thanks for your expertise.

The underlying chalk can affect soakaway performance, while surface clay layers impact surface water drainage. Our 20+ years of experience in this area means we understand how seasonal ground conditions affect different parts of Newmarket, from properties near the High Street to homes in the residential areas surrounding the famous racecourse.
Newmarket's mix of period properties and modern developments presents varied drainage challenges requiring different approaches. Older buildings often have cast iron pipes that need careful handling, while newer estates may have plastic systems that respond well to high-pressure jetting. Our Water Safe approved engineers adapt their techniques based on each property's age and construction, ensuring effective solutions whether you're in a Georgian terrace or a contemporary CB8 development.
Properties on the outskirts of CB8 often rely on off-mains drainage systems including septic tanks and cesspits.
