First class service from a quality company
Noticed we had waste water coming up through a manhole, called Happydrains who arranged for someone to attend within 48hrs which was fantastic. Engineer called when he was on his way, he was very professional and talked me through what he was going to do. Took him around 30 minutes he had taken photos of each stage and explained what he had found and done. Very happy with the work carried out and 3 weeks later still no issues would use them again

Fixed the problem with efficiency and professionalism.
I happy to recommend this company. They were easy to contact and the engineer came when they said. They charged a fixed price which included what needed to be done to fix the problem which took away any uncertainty about the cost. The engineer fixed the problem efficiently at the visit and gave a report of what was found and done. Five stars!
Customer in Beccles
Great company.
Oh my. Brilliant. Fast and difficult work carried out by Dan (Danny). Sorted out my drain blockage that was caused by a long shank 25mm masonry drill bit that must have been lost during the conversion of my home. I cannot give enough praise to him and the company for their fast and efficient help.
Customer in Manningtree

We had a very problematic drain blockage that only had access from the toilet and no manholes. The guys turned up, very professional, polite and persevered with the issue until the drains were cleared. I would 100% recommend to anyone who requires this type of service.

Very prompt response and came out within a matter of hours, did a great job, great communications, easy to pay and reasonable price. Would definitely recommend and use again.
Customer in Basildon
Great communication and fixed price drain clearance
From the first phone call enquiring about drain clearance with Emily to the actual work being carried out was less than 3 hours. I knew immediately upfront what the cost would be and how much extra if a Saturday call out was needed. I was kept informed by phone and email and received a call from the engineers 30 mins prior to arrival. They very quickly identified and cleared the problem clearing up any slight mess they made. Hope not to need this service again but if I do would Happily use Happy drains again.

Customer in Thetford
Blocked drain from ensuite.
Called Happy Drains about 9am as my ensuite toilet was blocked which was the only working toilet at the time. They advised that someone could be with me between 10am and 12noon. Two guys arrived just after 12 and went to work straight away to clear the blockage, which they did quickly, cleanly and professionally. Based on this I would use Happy Drains again.
Customer in Westcliff-On-Sea

Customer in Manningtree
Drain unblocked.
Main foul water drain blocked. Tried several companies but no-one could attend that same day except Happy Drains who finished his existing job, a 2 hour drive away, and arrived at mine exactly as promised. Cheerful and helpful operative, I would recommend this Company to anyone.
Customer in Colchester
Clearing blocked drain
I rang just after lunch to report a blocked drain and received a call back to say that an operator would attend within an hour although I mentioned that it was not an emergency. He arrived promptly and very quickly removed a difficult and very heavy manhole and completed the work in a very efficient manner. The operator was a very pleasant individual who carried out what was a very unpleasant job in a very good natured manner. It is many years since I have received this level of service, which is what we all hope for but very rarely get.
Customer in Harwich
The main drain from bathroom blocked. Backed up to kitchen drain.
This was my 87 yr old mother's house. We lifted the manhole cover thinking maybe we could unblock it, but it was full. So any water drainage was just overflowing. Euch!! A neighbour recommended Happy Drains. Phoned them about 9.30 Saturday morning. They were with her by 6. They kept in contact all day to let us know the expected arrival time. Super friendly, excellent communication, good price. Great service, especially for my elderly mum. Thankyou

No-Dig insitu repair
Booking staff are efficient and helpful. The technicians who carry out the survey/repairs were able to get the work done quickly, were friendly and advised what time they will be on site. They produced a thorough report before and after the work. I would use Happy Drains again.
Customer in Harwich
Clearing blocked drains.
Matt arrived within the time frame and was very polite and professional in the way he carried out the task. From phoning to the job being completed was 2 hours which is excellent on a Friday afternoon. The individual I spoke to in the office to enquire about helping clear the drains was very good and quoted the price plus vat which was what I paid once the job was completed.
Customer in Harwich
Drains checked and flow tested for blockage. None found.
Confident, pleasant young operative. Very efficient. Quickly established we had no problems. (He was later called to our neighbours where, it turned out, the blockage was! That was neighbourly then!)

Clearing a blocked kitchen sink.
Due to layout of the drains the engineer was unable to jet the drains, but he was able to use the suction machine and this cleared the issue. Very clean and tidy work.
Customer in Colchester
Investigate blocked drain that was backing up.
Great service for a fair price. Andy friendly, competent, answered my questions on the problem. Sorted the issue and I was happy it was a blockage and nothing more sinister. Would use again.

Fast emergency Manningtree drainage service is our speciality and great value prices our forte
If you need your Manningtree blocked drains unblocked pronto then, all it takes is to call now, and we will be at your service, fast!
We are the local Manningtree drain solution specialists; our skills cross a variety in our ‘drain technology toolbox’.
One of our favourite examples is mostly spinning a steel cable in a motorised drum; the cable comes with a cutting head attachment, which is pretty cool or High Pressure jetting as an alternative solution which is impressive, a ‘liquid laser’. The intense pressure and flow is controlled through a nozzle at the end of a Kevlar and steel-reinforced hose and used when cutting out tree roots and to descale pipes, and it is quite remarkable!
Manningtree Drains are by nature "out of sight, out of mind". CCTV drain surveys put you back in control
CCTV drain survey cameras have become one of the most valuable tools we have. When you need to know the condition of the pipework, for example, at a new Manningtree home or Essex property you are about to buy, then it’s crucial that Manningtree homebuyers and Manningtree professional property agents get the facts. Because those facts could save you a lot of money and stress!
CCTV drain survey technology (hardware and software) is used to see and understand pipeline integrity. We record and identify drain problems, we locate and classify them individually and then work out the best and most cost-effective repairs.
Our easy to understand technical reports are in writing; this details everything you need to know about the system and also provided costed solutions.

Quick & effective drain unblock
"I called Happy Drains to help unblock an external drain at our home. Initial customer service on the phone was quick, polite and even though I called early afternoon, they managed to find someone to visit that same day. The drain was unblocked successfully and the engineer was polite and provided useful advice for future avoidance of issues. I'd recommend."
Cleared blocked drain
"Was on time - phoned when on the way - and did the job professionally "
Excellent service with Happy Drains
"Having problems with a blocked drain , i contacted Happy Drains for help,. An engineer arrived within the hour of my call . He was both pleasant and efficient and also offered good advice.I have no hesitation in recommending Happy Drains for speed and efficiency ."
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 "

Kitchen drain Blocked
"I had a big block on my kitchen drain. My kitchen is the result of a garage conversion with long drains and hard access. Happy drains came after a few hours from my call and fixed the problem. They had to open an access on the laundry and charged a reasonable amount to do that. Very happy and would call them again!"
Unblock drain re kitchen sink
"Happy Drains sent Alex who was superbly focused and dedicated. He rapidly identified the blocked kitchen sink that had not been resolved by a plumber was a drainage issue (as suspected), found the drains, identified the correct one linked to the kitchen, sent a camera down to find the blockage, and rinsed it away with high pressure water jet. Took an hour, with a lot accomplished. No additional or unexpected charges. Very happy with their service and professionalism (given dealing with these sorts of issues can be a minefield of distrust)."
Sewer pipes & investigation.
"A mucky job which was carried out very efficiently by Tony. He arrived on time on the appointment day, no faffing about. I was kept in touch with photos and any recommendations for the future which I could actually 'talk' with someone to discuss this. The office/booking team (Emily) extremely efficient and friendly. Reasonable price too. A good team and a handy number to have in your phone!"
