Yesterday I found my drain was blocked, i share pipes with 5 neighbours. I called Welsh water they said I would be contacted with 4 hours. Within an hour I had 2 texts. Then about half an hour later Metro Rods man came he was very nice and quickly got it sorted. Except one house we are all pensioners. It was such a relief. So thank you Metro Rod for the excellent service.

The company turned up exactly when they said they would. Dan was very polite, professional and listened to my concerns. There was raw sewage coming up out of the drain and across the driveway and he cleaned up everything. Never knew there had been an issue. Cheers.

About Metro Rod Newport and Hereford

Metro Rod Newport & Hereford began in 2006 when founders Colin Witcomb and Gary Cleeves started the business from a small garage with just two engineers and a big ambition, to provide exceptional drainage services around the clock. Their dedication and commitment quickly earned them a loyal customer base built purely on word of mouth.

As demand grew, so did the team. Colin’s son Ben Witcomb joined in 2007, progressing from engineer to director and helping drive the business forward. In 2011, Gary expanded to launch Metro Rod Swansea, while Colin and Ben continued to grow the Newport & Hereford franchise.

A decade later, in 2016, the business celebrated its 10th anniversary and proudly won Franchise of the Year. Today, we operate from Crown Business Park in Tredegar, with a team of 36 engineers, 14 vans, and 6 tankers serving customers across Newport, Hereford, Gloucester, Cardiff, and beyond.

Community is at the heart of what we do. We’ve long supported local charities around Newport and are now expanding our efforts across Herefordshire and South Wales, so if you know of a project we could get involved with, we’d love to hear from you.

In 2025, we were honoured to receive the Gillian Walker Award for Outstanding Contribution to Metro Rod, a reflection of the hard work, dedication, and teamwork of everyone across our business.
