Quick response time and excellent service

We're very pleased with the quick response time, professional and friendly service we've received. The problem was explained to us clearly and sorted out quickly, with everything cleared up spotlessly afterwards. Not cheap but definitely reliable and effective.

First experience empty of a cesspit

Booked an empty of a cesspit, waited over 2 weeks for availablity. First time using the company. We have a 10,000 Gallon tank so ordered a 4-5000 truck. Didn't show up, had to ring to find out what happened, driver couldn't find house, rang wrong number despite it being on order so gave up. Offered to send a tiny 1000 truck next day which I said is no use. Eventually sent a massive truck few days later but due to parked cars couldn't get in drive so had to ring for another truck the size originally ordered. Payment system is very slow and frustrating, driver rings, has to wait for someone to answer for me to pay over the phone. Need online handheld system that can process payments. Staff very friendly and helpful

Great service

They cleared my blockage that was further down the drain that another company failed to clear. They were very professional and punctual.

Emergency weekend call out.

Arranged an emergency call out through Tom.
Ben arrived just over an hour later to a flooded shop cellar.
Straight to work, no complaints and got the access hatch up in said flooded cellar.
A good jetting cleared the drains, water levels dropped, and thought that was job done....
No. Ben then got the wet vac out and did his best to clear all that was left..
Polite and smiling all the time.

Excellent service.

Blocked drain.

I reported the blocked drain to the Council. They were unable to unblock it,and they contacted Metrorod for me. The guy who came out was very polite, and did a thorough job,by unblocking the drain and testing it with a dye substance, to make sure it was properly unblocked and flowing freely. Good job! Thank you.
