Brilliant
Brilliant , came out as soon as possible to fix blocked waste drain.
Very professional , and got the job done quickly.
Speedy response
Dave cleared the blockage from the drain leading to our downstairs toilet, and did a camera search to ensure that there was nothing too serious happening underground. He was very polite and knowledgeable, as was Becky when I first contacted Merseyrod. Very impressive same-day service - barely four hours from phone call to issue resolved.
Excellent staff
The member of staff was polite and took the time to explain what the problem was. I am very impressed with all the staff and I have asked for a quote for some work on my drain. All the staff have gained my trust.
Fast and professional
Rang one day and booked in for the next day, it was only for a survey but far quicker than expected. The report was received within a couple of days and it provides plenty of detail so we can get our extension work started. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mersey Rod, they are professional and efficient service providers.
Really helpful quick service
Came out within a couple of hours
Came out within a couple of hours, cleared the blockage and gave me some good advice. Would definitely recommend
Highly recommend
Highly recommend. Very efficient booking system - was given a 4hr time slot the next day (which was absolutely fine for the issue I called about) and given an upfront cost which was very reasonable.
Engineer called when he was 20 minutes away which was great. Problem fixed quickly and price as quoted. Thanks so much!

Absolutely great from beginning to end
Absolutely great from beginning to end, would highly recommend them, I needed to locate a drain that was buried under my garage floor as had already wasted time digging thru concrete with no luck, they came out within a day or so, Andy did a great job and found the drain quickly, also gave me some advice around the job I was having done, great value for money too. Thanks for the quick response and I’d defo use you again.
Very fast service
Very fast service, brilliant service from Alan who looked at everything to resolve the issue, eventually identifying it and allowing it to be resolved
Excellent service
We didn’t dare to think they might come out on Good Friday but 20 minutes after our call for help, Justin was here and had the job sorted in no time. He also gave us some good advice and all this while staying calm and friendly. Would recommend Mersey Rod to anyone with a drain problem.

We used Mersey Rod and they came out urgently to a blocked drain very happy with the service.
A rapid response from the company when…
A rapid response from the company when heavy rain was due shortly, which would have caused major problems - problem sorted there and then, with further analysis of the issues with Victorian drainage
Fantastic service
Fantastic service from a very knowledgable team. Your assistance was much appreciated.
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!
Would highly recommend
Came out to us very quickly. Told us exactly what the problem was and did a great job of fixing it. Would highly recommend!
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.
