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.

Contacted Mersey Rod across several platforms requesting help with a collapsed drain after reading all the good reviews on here. I've had no responses.

An honest, friendly and competent company

I have had bad experiences with other plumbing companies in the past, so I was very wary about having to call someone else out. But from the initial conversation, where I explained my issue, Mersey Rod were helpful and honest. They explained about the deposit, and what was included for that, and then what was included in the full price of the visit, so I knew what to expect when they arrived. The Plumber was a very pleasant individual who made sure to explain to me what he was doing and listened when I told him about my bathroom set up. He made sure that he not only cleared the blockage, but he got rid of everything that was blocking it to prevent further problems. He left the area clean and tidy, he even took all the debris that was blocking my pipes with him. If you have issues with your drains, I would absolutely recommend this company. Worth every penny in my opinion.

Superb service from Mersey Rod

Superb service from Mersey Rod. I had an issue with blocked drains and manhole and they arranged an engineer to come out the very same day. One price with no hidden fees and no payment until the job was done. They even take card payments at the door. Would definitely recommend.

A great service

A great service. My drain was blocked and my back yard was flooded. 2 hours after my initial enquiry they had come and fixed the problem. Checked the pipes with a camera, all was good, job done. Fixed price, would recommend and use again.

Highly recommended

Absolutely great experience from beginning to end. The lovely young lady on the phone, very polite, explained everything.
The gentleman that came, was on time and rang just before he was going to arrive, very polite again, explained what the problem was and how he was going to solve it, went above and beyond to make sure everything was in full working order, left the area clean and tidy.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company to anyone.

Staff fantastic from the word go

Staff fantastic from the word go, Becky in the office and both men who came out. We had an issue in December that the guy sorted and informed me of the point of the true issue. He was spot in and uncovering an old manhole in January, Andy came out and worked hard to clear the blockage. He has diagnosed tree roots from a roadside tree near our home.

Amazing company

I contacted Mersey rod after I had sewage all over my back garden I spoke to Becky who was very polite and professional and told me they would send an engineer out the same day 2 hours after my first call Justin call me to say he would be with me in the next 30 minutes

He turned up and got straight onto the job in hand was very polite and knowledgeable and kept me informed on what was happening he cleared the drain and cleaned up all the mess got me to do some flush tests and then wanted to
Put a camera down to see if there was any issues witch I’m glad he did as he discovered that there was badly damage and missing pipe and told me it would need to be dug up and replaced as it will block up again

Next morning he called me after speaking to the repair team to give me a price for the repair work and gave me a date witch suited me the best

Jack and the repair lads came out also very polite and friendly kept me informed on what they was doing they dug down to the pipe replaced and put everything back like they wasn’t even there

I honestly couldn’t thank Mersey rod enough
Form Becky booking the job out to Justin doing the job and finding the issue out and jack with his team fixing the problem I would highly recommend this company
