About Us

Metro Rod Gloucester’s business journey started in 2006 from a garage by founders Colin Witcomb and Gary Cleeves. With only two engineers and using purely word of mouth to start their business, Colin and Gary worked 24 hours a day 365 day a year to make sure all customers had a great experience. Colin and Gary employed their first engineer in the first few months of starting the business who still works for Metro Rod today.

After 2 years Colin and Gary had employed 3 engineers before renting out a council building to store their work van.

Our current managing director and Colin’s son, Ben, joined the team in 2007 part-time. After 2 years Ben became a full-time member of the team and a fully qualified drainage engineer.

In 2011, Gary left the business to open our sister franchise, Metro Rod Swansea. Colin continued to grow Metro Rod Newport & Hereford and Ben soon joined as a Director.

On the 10th anniversary of being in business, Metro Rod Newport and Hereford were awarded Franchise Winners of the Year. Since then, both our staff and fleet numbers have grown due to increased demand from customers. We now have 5 tankers, 21 engineers, and 14 vans on the road which means we are able to cover a wider area including Gloucester and Cardiff.

We are currently based in the Crown Business Park, Tredegar, where there is easy access to roads towards Maston, Newent, and Abbeydale. We like to get involved as much as possible in charity work, but until recently have worked with charities in the Newport area. However, as we grow we would like our reach for volunteer work. Therefore, if you know a charity project that we could get involved in your area contact us.

We appreciate everything you have to say about our visit to you, our customers. Whether we have frustrated or pleased you, let us know so we can improve our services.

Magic drainage wand fixes the problem

Our engineer was recently called to a drainage problem in the beautiful village of Llangynidr, nestled in the idyllic Brecon Beacons National Park. We were met with a block of toilets regularly used by walkers who tread the footpaths alongs... Read moreide the Monmouthshire & Brecon canal - all the toilets were blocked.

"We had an issue with a set of toilets that had been blocked for about 5 weeks, each time we cleared the problem it would block again. We called Metro Rod out to hopefully fix the problem permanently. Daniel from the office was very polite and helpful and informed me that someone would be out the next day. Your engineer arrived with his magical wand and fixed the problem. He did a thorough investigation and was professional throughout. Thank you for your service. Our Customers will be happy."

Legends of the drainage industry

Our engineers attended a property in Crickhowell to deal with a blocked drain - as with many customers we encounter, they had already utilised the services of another drainage provider who had failed to rectify their problem completely.

... Read moreThe engineers carried out some drain tracing prior to high pressure water jetting of a blocked manhole - after clearing the blockage we used our CCTV drainage camera to inspect the pipework. Our investigate skills paid off - we found a damaged section of pipework that had been the cause of the customers repeated blockages. We quoted to fix the problem and returned to the property the following week to carry out the repair - leaving the customer safe in the knowledge that her drainage problems had come to an end.

"Your engineers came out to my property and did an amazing job sorting out the blocked drain in my garden. Then went above and beyond what other companies had done previously - and after a lot of drama and problems they found and solved the problem once and for all. They are legends! Thank you once again."

The 3 P’s – Prompt, Polite, Professional

Our engineer attended a property in Abergavenny where the homeowner had reported that a blocked drain had caused their toilet to back-up.

"Your engineer came to our property today to unblock our drain - he arrived much quicker than expec... Read moreted and sorted the problem for us really quickly with no fuss or mess. He was polite and friendly whilst also being extremely professional. Please pass on my thanks to your engineer for his help today - and thank you to the staff at your office for dealing with everything so promptly"

Customer feedback speaks volumes for the type of service we provide. Our professional service starts from the moment a customer calls our office to arrange an attendance by one of our fully trained drainage engineers, we keep you updated throughout the process, providing accurate ETA's and a direct point of contact should your situation change at all.
