What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Metro Rod Sussex & Kent handles blocked drains, gutters and sewage-related work across the Brighton area, and the accounts left by customers consistently highlight the professionalism of the technicians sent out. Customers in several reviews describe how quickly requests were answered, with callers told in advance when the technician would arrive before they turned up as promised. Named staff such as Gary, Joe, Sam, Mike and Billy B recur in the feedback, praised for being friendly, polite and knowledgeable.

A point that comes up often is the persistence shown on difficult jobs, including one blockage that required several methods to clear and another traced roughly 40 metres down the road rather than on the property itself. Reviewers frequently point to that problems were explained clearly, that drains were checked again for further blockages, and that advice was given on avoiding similar issues later. Tidiness and follow-up work, such as replacing a drain cover and cleaning up spillage, are noted, as is the care shown to an elderly customer. The work covers drainage, gutters, waste water and sewage treatment, and the feedback centres on thorough assessments and a job finished properly.

Mike was great. He rang me an hour before arrival and then was really great at updating me throughout the job. He was thorough, spending time going back and fourth between several drains to clear them before checking out for any further blockages. He then explained the layout and then logged follow up jobs to replace a drain cover and clear up the spillage from the original leak. This was all in 30 degree heat and way into the early evening. Very grateful for Mike and Metro Rod!
