What Our Customers Have to Say


“Keeping customers happy with a seamless operation is our number one priority, and we needed a drainage provider that aligned with this ethos. Metro Rod’s 24/7 service, proven rapid response times, and shared customer-focused mindset reassured us we could rely on them to deliver a first-class service. Their work on our Norwich properties gave us the confidence to roll it out across our nationwide portfolio, and we’ve now worked happily together across the UK for 10 years.”
Roy Barrett, Contract Surveyor at Sanctuary Housing

“The Metro Rod technicians were helpful, courteous, competent and thorough. They worked quickly and were keen to do a good repair to the blocked drains. The bill was less than the agreed estimate because the work was finished more quickly than expected. I would use this company again and would recommend them for similar work.”
Ford Prefect, CEO at Sirius Cybernetics Corp.
