Really prompt service

Really prompt service, very nice and helpful person (Dave) attended. Only slight issue was surprise that our blockage was related to the kitchen sink - I think they are used to flushing external drains in the main, so he asked me to sign a disclaimer prior to using the power flush system inside and also couldn't use the camera cable to identify the site of the blockage (too wide to go down kitchen sink pipes apparently). Flushed and unblocked though, and all working fine since, so very happy with service overall.

Drain blockage on renovated terrace after being empty for a year

Rang on a Sunday evening was seen first thing Monday morning. Gentleman who provided the service was so polite took about 30/40 minutes everywhere looks clear found the issue hopefully that’s it all sorted but gave us our options if any other issues arise, and all three bathrooms draining properly and not an issue since!

Thank you!

Don’t believe their promises

I c as led out Mersey Rod for a toilet that had been repeatedly blocking fur a while. I was told that to unblock it would cost £190 plus vat. The man who came took one look and said he thought there was a problem with the toilet installation and pipe. Despite the claim that they don’t charge if they can’t unblock, I was charged £144. He spent at most 10 minutes in the house.

Phoned Merseyrod due to blocked drain in outside courtyard. Easy service to book and they came first thing the following morning and sorted the issue within 30 mins.
Everything was agreed before confirming the booking, no hidden costs. Would definitely recommend

Blocked WC & waste pipe

Great service from this company. Instructed late Friday afternoon and sorted by mid Saturday morning.
Not the cheapest call out costs but service was excellent and communication was clear.
Followed top with images of the issue which was causing the blockage.
Recommended for quick, efficient service.

Arrived on time, dealt with the problem, gave me a verbal report on progress and also gave me a full report on the problem found and its repairing.

I needed advice on sorting a drainage issue under patio area. Andy came out & gave me advice on the way forward before a new patio is laid. I have used this company before hence the reason for contacting them. I trust this company and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
