Came out promptly

Came out promptly, new pump installed, left the job all seemed well but the pump did not come on when the tank was full. Another month rolled by finally attended new floats installed, didnt work. 3 months rolled by attended again still didnt work despite phoning numerous times nothing finally spoke to the manager who said they would not turn up attend again without more money. I was £1300 out of pocket by now. Had another company come and have a look all it needed was a new control box.

Reply from Metro Rod

Hi Sean,

We’re really sorry to hear about your experience. This isn’t the standard of service we expect from any of our depots, and we understand how frustrating the situation must have been for you.

If you’d like us to look into this properly, please email our Customer Care Team at CustomerCare@metrorod.co.uk with a few details and your postcode. We’ll review what happened and come back to you as soon as we can.

Kind regards,
Metro Rod

A great experience

Luke came out to my property on the 23rd and 24th Nov 2025. He was very polite, very professional and explained everything so clearly. He cleared a problem that's been going on for years at my property with no trouble or stress and I could not be more grateful for his work. If everyone did their job as good as Luke does his, the world would be a better place

Metro Rod were called out under our emergency home cover insurance. Their service was fantastic from keeping us informed as to their arrival time to the very professional and friendly man (Rob) who quickly solved our problem. I would definitely recommend them.
