Would recommend Mersey Rod in a heartbeat

During building work, we found that drain in our garden was blocked which was impacting our downstairs toilet. I was recommended Mersey Rod by a neighbour and I’m so glad I followed their advice. I filled in the online form at approx 6.30am and by 8.30am they had contacted me to organise someone to come the same day. The engineer arrived around 11am and sorted the problem really quickly, and even investigated further for us to see if there were going to be any recurring issues. They were respectful of our property and the ongoing building work, offered advice going forward and resolved our issue effectively. Really happy and would recommend them in a heartbeat!

Can't fault your service in any way

Can't fault your service in any way. The engineer communicated perfectly prior to arriving and carried out the job quickly and efficiently. He also gave some really helpful aftercare advice.

Quick and efficient.

On contacting Mersey Rod I was given a ( same day) estimated time of arrival and a price . The engineer arrived well within the E.T.A and unblocked the drain quickly and effectively and with no mess, at the agreed price. I would recommend this company to anyone with a blocked drain!

Top Service from Mersey Rod

In response to our drain blockage, Mersey Rod agreed a time and date we requested and attended promptly. After our guidance, the engineer fully understood the situation, resolved the blockage and cleaned up. Further root work was agreed.

Drain inspection

Mersey Rod came out to my home for a drain inspection. The guys were on time, showed me everything they could see, and provided a reasonable quote for the repairs needed. I will definitely be using them again when I’m ready for the work to be done.

Reassurance from survey for rodent issues

I had a basic cctv drains survey due to rodent issues. Communication was good and personable. Andy the technician kept me informed throughout and was genuinely interested in the issues I was having. It was helpful to know there were no cracks in the pipes and to locate the position of hidden drain.

These are great

These are great. Got an appointment straight away and the woman in the office was lovely and helpful. The surveyors came on time and are really nice to deal with too. Knew what they were doing and diagnosed the issues straight away. Couldn’t fault them and 100% recommend them to you.
