Blocked drains rarely happen overnight. They build up over time.

Unpleasant odours
Gurgling plug holes
Slow draining sinks

If your business is experiencing any of these, don’t ignore it. A quick inspection now could prevent a major issue later.

Get ahead of the problem, not behind it.

Fat, oil and grease causing problems?

FOG build up is one of the biggest causes of blocked drains in commercial kitchens. Left untreated, it can lead to unpleasant smells, slow drainage and even contamination risks.

Grease traps help stop fats, oils and grease entering your drainage system, reducing blockages and keeping your business running smoothly and compliantly.

A little prevention now can save a lot of disruption later.

We want to inform our customers and local community that our Metro Rod Northampton office was broken into on Sunday 11th January at approximately 7:30pm. Two masked individuals were involved.

The following items were taken:
• Ipek camera systems
• Pipelining equipment
• Compressor
• Generator
• Stihl saw
• Breaker
• Various battery-powered drills
• White Mercedes Sprinter Electric – registration KN71 EXV

While this is obviously upsetting, it is business as usual for our customers. Our engineers are still out working and supporting jobs as normal. That said, we kindly ask for your patience as we work to fully restore everything in the office.

If anyone has any information, CCTV, or dashcam footage from the area around this time, or if you spot the vehicle listed above, please contact us or the police directly.

Thank you for your continued support and please stay vigilant.

Pro tip: Routine drain cleaning does far more than keep blockages at bay, it also helps prevent unpleasant smells and avoids those costly callouts no one wants.

Think of it as an MOT for your drains.

Our team of skilled engineers is ready to clear and jet your drains, keeping everything running smoothly throughout the year, especially at this time of year, when drains are most prone to blockages and damage.

Blocked sinks can cause real disruption in kitchens, staff areas and facilities, leading to downtime and unnecessary costs.

Here are three simple ways to keep things running smoothly:

1) Put food waste in the bin, not the sink
2) Let cooking oil cool, then bin it
3) Use drain cleaners regularly to stop build-ups before they start

A few small changes can make a big difference to your business and help you avoid costly repairs later on.
