Drain care in London from Metro Rod……Then and now

London drain unblocking 2019

When you call Metro Rod to clear your blocked drain or blocked toilet in London....or book a pre-planned maintenance visit or CCTV drain survey anywhere from Stratford to Dulwich, from Roehampton to Ealing, from Canary Wharf to Westminster...you can rely on receiving a safe, professional and honest drain care service from one of London's longest established drainage companies. We have been unblocking drains in London for over 30 years.

Pictured above you will see part of our our 2019 team of drainage engineers standing by some of the vans and tankers which currently serve London businesses and residents. Each van is fully equipped with high pressure water jetting equipment, as well as electro-mechanical drain cleaning equipment, meaning we can deliver a first-time fix to the large majority of blocked drains we attend and conduct a full range of planned maintenance routines to site drainage systems.

However Metro Rod has been established since the 1980s and this photograph (below) of an early incarnation of our London team shows how times have changed with the smaller vehicles not at that time equipped with their own water-jetters .

London drain unblocking Metro Rod 80s

The drainage engineers smart, indeed formal, uniforms stand out though we assume that ties were removed before operating drain-cleaning machinery !

Inbetween times the picture below updates things a decade or so to some point in the 1990s. Leaving aside the slightly North Korean set-up of the photograph it's interesting to see the larger drainage vans of today making their appearance although trailer jetting units are also visible.

Metro Rod 1990s

Over the past 30+ years Metro Rod has built up a reputation for professionalism, customer service and value for money which means we have become the first choice for many Facilities Managers, Property Managers and business owners in London when it comes to maintaining their site drainage systems. Our drainage engineers are equally at home clearing a blocked drain in a house garden in Acton as we are carrying out a pre-planned maintenance clean in a City office-tower or conducting a CCTV drain survey on a building site in Camden.

At Metro Rod we are proud of our heritage, proud of our workmanship and reputation for customer care and PROUD TO SERVE LONDON our great capital City.
