Why Metro Rod is a Big Business for Big Thinkers
Drains. Sewers. Wastewater. Probably not your first thought when considering which business to invest in. But here’s why you should be thinking about it.
At Metro Rod, we don’t do things by halves. We operate at scale. We’re talking 80+ specialist tankers, across our 43 UK territories. Each with 20+ engineers per franchise, and a national brand presence that means business.
Our tankers are the backbone of the UK’s drainage industry, keeping commercial and domestic properties safe, compliant, and fully operational. When things go wrong, we’re the ones who fix it.
What Do Metro Rod’s Tankers Actually Do?
They handle the tough jobs that keep the country moving, including:
- Septic & cesspit emptying – Preventing costly overflows
- Flood water removal – Rapid response in emergencies
- Grease trap cleaning – Keeping commercial kitchens compliant
- Interceptor & tank cleaning – Essential for environmental safety
- Liquid waste disposal – Safe and efficient removal of hazardous waste
Why does this matter? Because demand for drainage services never stops. Metro Rod is a recession-resilient, high-value business model that provides essential services, day in and day out.
