Franchise Concept & Key Figures

Franchising details

Drainage in the UK is a multi-billion pound, highly profitable sector with demand 365 days of the year, 24 hours a day.

We’re more than just a rodding company. Although our nationally available commercial and domestic drainage services include clearing blocked drains, they also include drain repair, CCTV drain surveys, gutter clearance, pre-planned maintenance, tanker services, emergency plumbing, asset mapping and robotic cutting.

Our expertise covers all aspects of drainage, and with our industry-leading technology, we have the service capabilities to help our customers with any aspect of drainage work. With the right training and guidance, it can also be a multi-million-pound Management Franchise opportunity for you.

Since 1983, Metro Rod has been carrying out 24/7 drainage repairs and ongoing maintenance for hundreds of thousands of commercial customers. As essential workers, our teams have continued to work through the pandemic, to keep business as normal for our customers. That’s why, as a Metro Rod franchisee, you can look forward to enjoying repeat customers from day one.

Industry-leading service

With a history of delivering industry-leading service to customers as diverse as the Ministry of Justice, AXA, Hilton, and Sodexo and in sectors as varied as retail, housing and insurance Metro Rod’s tailored approach to business is paying off.

Metro Rod’s business philosophy goes far beyond carrying out repairs. With the help of a large national support centre, customer service and communications are at the heart of everything this franchise does. Where drains break down, businesses no matter how big or small, can grind to a halt. Responding to more than 15,000 calls and over 8,000 emails per month, Metro Rod’s signature approach always keeps customers in the loop, while continuing to carry out the essential repairs their customers desperately need.

And the result is that business has been booming like never before. Now the UK’s leading drain care and maintenance franchise, is looking for the right franchisees to keep taking this business forward.

With an excellent portfolio of existing and ongoing customers, superb support teams to back you every step of the way, and a 24/7 commitment to working wherever and however needed, Metro Rod’s credentials make it one of the best drainage franchises in the country.

Training and support
