Happy Drains = Happy Homeowner
Fantastic service, drain was unblocked in no time. Mark was fantastic and professional. Thank you, price was great with no hidden cost. I had a builder who advised they may have to lift the tiles to get to the drain, luckily escaped that as I would have had to replace the entire kitchen
Customer in Chingford
Good service and fixed the problem.
Happy Drains did a great job, it was easy to book an appointment with them over the phone, their engineer got in touch direct he arrived on time and had the blocked drain fixed with no fuss. Also the price was really good and payment was made easy via the payment link/website. I would definitely recommend Happy Drains ?'? Justin

Ilford Blocked Drain Clearance, Cleaning & Repair
Greater London, IG1
We at Happy Drains make customers happy!
As the Ilford #1 drainage choice throughout Greater London our reviews tell our story!
If you notice that the water's running away very slowly from the sink or bathroom or it is difficult to flush the toilet, this is very likely to be a sign of a blockage. When the water in your drains and WC is unable to flow away, this can cause a backup. If the back up from your toilet or sink is uncontrolled, this could further result in flooding your home.
Because we are local to Ilford IG1, by using local engineers, with local awareness, we will get to you fast. The Ilford Happy Drains team are ready to help.
Blocked drains are not only a nuisance and inconvenient, so what causes a blockage? Drains at home and work are only intended to take away waste water, toilet tissue and waste. So it’s an excellent idea that products such as wet wipes and kitchen roll should not go in the toilet.
Cooking fat and oil congeal in your drains and pipework, then blockages, for the most part, are caused by the fats forming a thick layer within the drain preventing an efficient flow. This, in turn, allows a further build-up and results in clogging and troublesome blockages.
When this happens, relax and don’t worry, the friendly Happy Drains technicians will solve your Ilford drainage problems. We are always happy to help and clear your drain blockage – fast. Not only do we have the right tools for the job, but we also have the right skills, the right people and we are always the right price.
Is your Ilford property served by a septic tank or a sewage treatment plant?
If so, are you aware of all the Ilford area environmental and building regulations?
More importantly, do you know if your Ilford system is compliant with the new regulatory reform called the Small Sewage Discharge General Binding Rules?

Investigate and Clear External. Blocked Drain
"Was a great experience. Easy to organise. A touch late on the day but was kept informed.. Joe was great where he turned up. Explained everything and didn't upsell unnecessarily. Was efficient, polite and friendly. Great all round. Nice report/record at the end of it. Great contrast to some of the trade service experiences that you can have quite often. "

Toilet drain pipe investigation
"Amazing in terms of just taking the time out on the phone to just walk through problem to see if they needed to even come out and also proposing various options to move forward. The prices quoted were also reasonable."
Kitchen Sink Drain Blockage
"Telephoned Happy Drains early morning. Was told a technician would come to me late afternoon. He arrived at 4pm after telephoning to advise his arrival time. He asked where the blockage was and then got on with clearing it. No time wasted. Once the U bend had been taken apart the blockage was sucked out. Then the U bend was reassembled to show me the blockage had been cleared. All done very efficiently and effectively with very little mess being caused. I was very pleased and impressed."
