What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Rapid, tidy and clearly explained drainage work is the theme that runs through the feedback for this Coventry and Leicester specialist. Customers writing about their orders describe engineers arriving quickly and completing the job on the first visit, whether the task is unblocking a toilet, clearing a sink or tackling a drain that others had failed to resolve. Several accounts note the care taken over new carpets and the clean-up afterwards, with the working area left as it was found.

Named staff such as Tony, Austin, Kevin and Matthew are singled out for being friendly, courteous and helpful, and for taking the time to explain what they had found. One householder notes that an engineer persisted with a troublesome sink, replaced the trap and refused to give up on pipework others had avoided. CCTV drain surveys for house purchases also feature, with reports produced promptly and a competitive price quoted.

Communication before, during and after the work is a point that comes up often, as is the willingness to involve the water authority when a long-running sewer problem needed proper investigation. Emergency call-outs at short notice are valued, and the same reliability is described across both city areas and the wider county, with the unblocking of toilets, sinks and external drains the work that recurs most in the accounts.

We had an excellent experience with metrorod when doing the pre purchase cctv drain survey. They offered a competitive price. They booked us in quickly and provided us with the report in 2 days. Communication was very good. We spoke with Kevin and emailed Matthew; they were both so incredibly kind and helpful and couldn’t have done more for us. We would definitely recommend. We will likely use them for the repairs of the drains.

Hi, I wasn't actually at home when Metro Rod called, but I would like to say thank you for coming out so promptly and thank you for getting Severn Trent water onboard! For years o othis problem has been inefficiently dealt with by Leicester City Council and we had to get them out every few weeks. It has now been thoroughly investigated and dealt with properly, so hopefully it has been resolved for a much longer period!

If there is 0 star I will give Their staffs/engineers are shared with the other company. Yesterday I found one company (different company) recommended by landlord and the man said £460. Then I follow google map AD find Metro the office said £110+vat per hour as minimum fees and they guaranteed after 1 hour to let me know how long it will take like more 30 minutes or 60 minutes. I made an appointment today morning. It is funny the engineer is in the same yesterday( the other company) and he checked 1 hour did not do anything help me to unblock drain. And let me pay £110+VAT. I said it is totally different to yesterday your office told me. I want to unblock the drain and the quote. He said he doesn’t have any tools that are in the other team. It is funny. And he said will be back to office to give me quote and next time I will pay £110+VAT again to start. They don’t help me do anything and let me pay money. I have to use google map again to find the third company. Only £120 helps me solve this small problem. It is true experience . Hope it can help the other customers to make the choice.

It took his time tried everything very pleased with his effort but unfortunately it's blocked again The Guys returned and have cleared the problem to an extent More work is required but Metro Rod have to verify this With Leicester City Council
