Sourcing and stopping strong drain smells in new ground floor extension
For over two years we have suffered from very strong sewage smells and rats getting into our new ground floor extension which made our lives very uncomfortable. Our builder and other drain companies failed to work out the source of the smell. Happy Drains quickly worked out how the smell was getting into the house and sealed it the following week. The smell has disappeared! It was caused by our builder failing to seal a redundant toilet pipe. Happy Drains were efficient, helpful and fast. We are extremely grateful.
An excellent service that’s Trustworthy.
Prompt , clear initial response with willingness to be flexible with the time . The plumber Damien arrived ahead of time having asked for consent.He was friendly , polite and quick to engage. Easy to communicate. Seemed very experienced, spotted the cause of the problem very quickly and carried out the work . Left the site clean and tidy. Explained preventive measures. Overall left us with a great deal of satisfaction and trust in the service. The charge set right at the start was very reasonable , with no add on.
Second time back, and for good reason
Second time using Happy Drains. Booked them for a CCTV drain survey following an unsatisfactory experience with another provider; they had originally been engaged when we bought the house and came recommended again through a trade contact. The engineer arrived punctually, was courteous throughout, and walked us through the findings on site. Pricing was fair, an the final invoice matched the quote. The written report and accompanying video footage contained enough detail to understand the condition of the drain runs and scope the remedial work. Will be using them again for the corrective works.
Redhill's mix of older Victorian properties and modern housing developments across RH1, RH8, and RH9 creates unique drainage challenges that we've been solving for two decades. Whether it's tree root intrusion affecting period properties in central Redhill or grease build-up in newer developments around Godstone and Oxted, our high-pressure jetting equipment cuts through the toughest blockages. We recently restored full flow to a complex drainage system in RH1 where multiple blockages had caused significant backup, leaving the client with completely clear pipework.

Call Now: 07824 757572Redhill sits on London Clay geology that creates unique drainage challenges across RH1, RH8, and RH9 postcodes. This heavy clay soil shifts seasonally, putting pressure on pipe joints and creating the root intrusion problems we regularly address. Our 20 years of Surrey experience means we understand exactly how this geology affects different property types, from Victorian terraces to modern developments around Godstone and Oxted.
Redhill's position in the Surrey North Downs creates complex surface water management issues that affect private drainage systems. The town's hillier areas experience rapid runoff during heavy rainfall, overwhelming Victorian-era drainage networks not designed for modern water volumes. We've developed specialist techniques for managing these seasonal surges while maintaining year-round drainage performance across the area's mixed housing stock.
From period properties in central Redhill RH1 to newer developments around Oxted RH8, we understand how different construction eras create varied drainage challenges. Victorian clay pipes require different maintenance approaches than modern PVC systems, while 1960s concrete pipes common in Surrey developments need specific repair techniques. Our local knowledge ensures appropriate solutions for each property type's unique drainage characteristics.
