Unblocking a very smelly bathroom sink
I rang Happy Drains at 8:45am on a Monday morning to say I had a blocked and very smelly drain in the bathroom sink. They sent someone out who arrived at 11am - he unblocked the sink, checked the shower and toilet in the same bathroom, took photographs and cleaned everything perfectly. Such great service in such a timely manner. We also use Happy Drains at my work place and have always found their team great!

Many Victorian terraces in Peckham SE15 were converted into flats without fully upgrading the original single-household drainage systems. This creates bottlenecks when multiple kitchens and bathrooms share old clay pipes designed for lighter usage. Combined with root intrusion from mature street trees and settling of century-old pipework, these properties require specialist drainage expertise to maintain proper flow and prevent recurring blockages.
