Pretty poor experience from the…

Pretty poor experience from the engineer not interacting ahead of visit and rushing off without any contact at the house.
Instructed a 'full' service, but the pump still has faults and the office are suggesting certain things are now not covered.
Could have done what was completed quite easily myself.
Engineer when he did arrive was polite and professional.
Expensive service....not good value for money. Won't use again.

Great service and sensible pricing

From the initial telephone query, to the fast response, then the clear and instructive explanation from Terry at our home, Metro Rod (Norwich Branch) have been a pleasure to deal with.
Terry quickly explained his CCTV findings, and the immediate remedy work to be carried out. I suspect our sewer/drain issue may need further work, but I like the work practice of "little steps" to avoid unnecessary larger (more expensive steps). I will definitely use Metro Rod again, and am already recommended to friends and family. Oh, and much appreciated after care follow up phone call !

Excellent service

Booked Metrorod after United utilities survey showed roots in our drain. The operatives were friendly and professional. They showed me the camera vie after completing the work and also jetted a gulley on our drive. The price was exactly as quoted when I booked over the phone and I will definitely use them again if we ever have any drainage problems.

Great communication and excellent work completed by the Ystalyfera team, including the additional work identified as a result of initial work. The team onsite worked hard to complete the tasks ahead and that gave us the confidence that the work completed has resolved the root and drain separation issues. Highly recommended ...

Dude you rock!! 2025

Best service ever! Young contractor very calm , pleasant and informative. Professional resolve to the problem and done so thoroughly. Came as an urgent call out and we were so relieved the issue was sorted 100%. The young man in question was very dedicated to the work at hand.I am a war Veteran from the SWA/ANGOLA War and he deserves a medal. I urge his employer to send him on a holiday all inclusive paid by the company because when you attend to 13-15 call outs a day you are a HERO.(This is my recommendation to a guy who has both character and personality!)My wife and I are much grateful for his service.
Roger Thanks Cheers

Nasty company. Do Not use

I have just received a recording msg on the phone about me not having paid. (Which I most definitely have 6 months ago.)
Adrian's msg said if i didn't call him within a week " I WILL COME AROUND AND VISIT YOU" can you imagine how scary and how angry I am knowing I've sent over 4 emails with bank screen shot giving evidence of payment in may. I phone him just. He started polite and then "LET" me know he didn't say that as his phone msg recording said. I have proof!!! Adrian also said. " he is sat in his office with his secretary and debt collection guy and they heard what he said to me . Talk about LETTING me know again his debt guy is there for me.
Don't use this company and definitely don't pay cash as they will probably say you haven't paid. Luckily I have the proof of payment and phone call!

Hi Heather,

We are so sorry to hear that you've had a bad experience with one of our franchises. This is not the standard of service we would expect and we would like to investigate this so it doesn't happen again. Please can you send an email to our Customer Care team, CustomerCare@metrorod.co.uk, with details of your experience, along with your postcode, and they will be able to look into this.

Kind regards,
Metro Rod

Outstanding service

From the very first visit from Metrorod to the completion of the job all the staff were wonderful. The gentlemen who did the actual work on my drains were all polite,friendly, speedy, efficient, punctual. They explained what they were doing and left no mess at all.
The office staff were also wonderful.

Fantastic service

The guys from Metrorod went over and above as the survey proved more difficult than expected.
All of the Metrorod staff were professional and friendly and explained everything carefully.
