    Blocked drain drama, all sorted!! I have used Megarod before, and once again, they were excellent. They were here promptly and sorted it with minimum fuss! Thank you to Tom for arranging everything and Daryl for sorting it out on the day!

    Really top quality service from Tom and Andy. We had a blocked toilet, they came out and sorted the issue the next day. Two weeks later the same toilet was blocked - they came out and found the issue was unrelated (which upon explanation made total sense). Yet as a goodwill gesture they didn’t charge us for the second visit. Very rare to get this level of service, highly recommend these guys.

    We have called Mega Rod twice to clear drains and for advice. Both times they have responded quickly and professionally and have been a pleasure to deal with. As well as solving a problem. No hesitation in recommending them for any drain issues and/or investigative work.

    Had a totally blocked drain and tried to clear it myself using drain rods. These came unscrewed in the drain leaving 10 metres of rods stuck somewhere in the drain.

    Within an hour of calling them their engineer arrived and was able to force the rods back up the drain to the access point and pull them out. All sorted within less than 30 minutes.

    Customer service was excellent from start to finish, knowledge and expertise of the engineer who came on site was first class.

    I would never use anyone else again (and certainly wont be using my own rods again).

    If you have a problem with your drains call these guys straight away, their service is first class, reliable and trustworthy and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

    We had a blocked toilet and, as it turned out, a blocked line. We called Mega-Rod and were given a clear quote of how much it would cost to fix. Since we called on a Saturday we were told it'd be more expensive to get it sorted on the day and were told if we can wait until Monday to do so to save the money. We couldn't, so Andy was sent over within a couple of hours.

    Andy was amazing - he got the job done quickly and efficiently. He went above and beyond - he explained exactly what the issue was, and gave us more information about our system and what to watch out for (we are first time home owners, so all the advice he gave us was priceless!).

    Hopefully we won't need Mega-Rod's drainage services again, but if we do, there's no other company we'd call!

    Thank you, Andy for the great job done!

    Great response and service. We had our drains blocked and was quite stuck. The team talked us through each stage and what can be done to prevent further issues.

    Excellent service and communication on my pre purchase survey in May 2022. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mega-Rod!

    I find myself posting another very positive review for this company. I find the customer service absolutely impeccable with the owner of the company even arranging urgent visits to my house whilst he is on holiday. All of the staff with whom I've had contact have been highly knowledgeable, courteous and providers of solutions whereby my drainage can be more efficient and not cause continued problems.

    They also have all the kit so it's not just a man visiting with his rod but you have technology and power which combined with the friendliness makes for a very stressfree experience.

    I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this company to those looking for support and quick fix help.

    Mega-Rod responded to my issue in a prompt and professional manner. When the engineer attended my property he was friendly and talked me through what had been found and what works he was undertaking. The engineer resolved the issue in less than an hour but his process was thorough. The engineer took care in my possessions, returning all items as they were found. I would have no doubts in using this company going forward.

    Mega-Rod – Your Local, Family-Run Drainage Experts in Bristol & Bath

    At Mega-Rod, we’ve been helping homes and businesses across Bristol, Bath, and the surrounding areas with their drainage for over 40 years. We’re a local, family-run company, not a big-name franchise, and we’re proud to put people before profit.

    We’ve built our reputation by keeping things simple: honest service, fair pricing, and expert advice you can trust. Our engineers don’t work on commission, their job is to solve your drainage issue, not sell you something you don’t need.

    A Brief History

    Mega-Rod began life in 1980 as Bath Drain and Jetting Services, specialising in high-pressure jetting for major projects like the Bath Sports & Leisure Centre and The University of Bath. As demand grew, so did we, expanding our services to include septic tank emptying, vacuum tankers, and even work for the council at the historic Roman Baths.

    We were also early adopters of new technology, including colour CCTV drain surveys, and in the 1990s, we added large-diameter drain jetting to our offering. That’s when we became Mega-Rod – a name that better reflects the scale and capability of our service.

    Today, we continue to support both domestic and commercial clients, including working alongside Wessex Water to handle emergency and planned maintenance jobs across the region.

    • Drain Repairs
