Excellent service from start to finish. Booking a call out and Marty sorting out the drain problem 3 hours later went smoothly and efficiently. Would thoroughly recommend this company.
Called out the company and Marty turned promptly, very professional, and very efficiently sorted out the blocked drains. Would definitely recommend
Replaced 70m of water pipe - the job turned out to be a lot more difficult than they were expecting but Mike and Jamie were a brilliant crew who just got on with the job and absolutely nailed - supported by Stuart the plumber and Jack helping out as well. No hesitation in recommending this company for the professional job well done. Will always ask for them in future.
Workmen arrived on site prompt and early to begin the work, they got the job done quickly and will leave the garden all raked out and tidy. The Director himself actually came round too and personally apologised for the miscommunication of no one coming the day before due to staff sickness and arranged for the trench in the front garden to be dug and shingled even though it hadn't been specified on the job requirement. Can tell he really cares about his company and providing a good customer experience and it isn't very often you would find the Director of the company himself willing to come out so I am very happy with the overall experience, job and the level of customer care so the 5 stars is well deserved. Thank you again.
I can’t tell you how brilliant of the service I received, I have used many tankers but I will never go anywhere else now. They were the most kind, helpful people on the phone and the men who came to me to empty my tank and Help me with my drainage and blockage. They couldn’t have done enough for me and was so helpful . Thank you so much!
What a brilliant service, from the speed and kindness of the office staff and a big thank you to Jack who attended our situation very quickly. He was very thorough explaining what he was doing and the problems he encountered and how he was going to resolve them as our drainage system was quite tricky to deal with, he worked efficiently and cleared up as he worked leaving everything clean and tidy. He is definitely a grafter and an asset to Rescue Rod. Would highly recommend this company.
Absolutely brilliant service from Rescue Rod. From start to finish the communication was top tier and the quality of the work outstanding. For the works themselves we dealt with Kevin and Jack and they have delivered brilliant work and were a pleasure to have on site for an all round interesting job (not what everyone expected to find) Don't hesitate to book your works with these guys. A** Thank again.
From the person on the phone, to the person that came and fixed the drain. 100% impressed. If I was to employ people, it would be the people I spoke to with this company. Answered phone - fast. Came quickly for a blocked drain, it was explained to me why, fixed. I had another issue with the drain cover - spoke to someone, got a date to fix. Fixed. Will use again of course.
These guys are top notch! We had a leak in upstairs bathroom and they were quick to respond and sent someone out the same day. Excellent work and reasonable price. Would definitely recommend! #HappyCustomer
I had a blocked toilet over the weekend and called rescue rod to come and unblock it for me. The staff were extremely friendly and they did a great job. They also cleaned and disinfected the area in which they had been working. Overall I am very satisfied and would highly recommend there services.
Georgina at RM Liquid, during two separate phone calls, has been super helpful and efficient in finding a solution and getting a prompt visit secured… Jon
We had a blocked drain so called Rescue Rod and within half a hour someone was with us. Christian was professional, knowledgeable and despite what he was there to do, he obviously enjoyed his job. He was very thorough and made sure the drains were unblocked and cleaned before he left.
Came out very quickly to sort a blockage, were super friendly and very professional. Got the job done quickly and all happy! Great service.
Ended up being much more expensive than what we were first told but as we understand it, the very wet weather at the time and worse condition of the inside of our pipes than first expected made it a far bigger job than first predicted. They did an excellent, professional job in very difficult conditions and kept us informed of what was going on and the unexpected problems they encountered during it. Would recommend.
Great service ,arrived quickly and sorted problem out ,kept me reassured and up to date, would use again
The job turned out to be far more involved than anticipated. Not to be defeated the team formed a plan of action and got stuck in! A lot more very physical groundwork by hand plus it rained all day. Could not fault the attitude, the work & the clean-up/finish. Highly recommended, true specialists.
1st class service , called out late on a Saturday Eve and was here within half hour. Friendly , professional chap unblocked the main drain quickly with the right equipment and even cleaned up after . Can't recommend enough . Thank you
Very friendly and professional, start to finish. They responded quickly to my email and they booked me in immediately. Zack who did the dirty part of the job was brilliant. Thanks!
I rented a beach hut at Canford Cliffs with the sole purpose of going swimming. It was located by an outdoor shower. The shower was broken. After a few emails and 21 days I arrived to find that Stuart of Rescue Rod had made the repair! We now have a working shower and can get clean after our swims! What a great guy! I shook his hand and thanked him! A credit to your business. Thank you!
Friendly professional team carried out work to our drains including fitting of a new gully. They came back quickly to sort out a couple of outstanding issues without any quibble. Good communication from the office team too. Really great job, thank you Rescue Rod.
Brilliant service: friendly, fast and reasonable price. Called them late on Saturday for them to turn up & resolve on Sunday morning. Thank you.
Rescue Rod put in a new Main water pipe up my path in one day, left path as they found it- you can’t tell where they dug up. Would recommend.
I have used Rescue Rod for 1 major installation and several small maintenance jobs. The service has been amazing. I genuinely can't thank them enough. So efficient, friendly and super quick. This is as good as it gets
Really brilliant service. Cleared my external drain super quick and the staff were lovely, kind and friendly. Definetly recommend.
Quick to respond, very professional and excellent price. Highly recommended. Many thanks
Fantastic service, called late evening, engineer available first thing the next day (we didn't need the emergency service). Sorted out our kitchen drain very quickly and we are back up and running. Would recommend to anyone with drain troubles.
"Fantastic service"! Competitively priced too, compared to other companies! Would definitely recommend! Also a massive thank you to Chris who attended, he was very professional! Thank you Rescue Rod for coming to the rescue! Keep up the good work!👍🏾😃
“Thank You” Rescue Rod, who came out and fixed blocked shower/bathroom plumbing during pandemic and on VE-Day Bank Holiday. Really nice guy and fixed blocked pipe-work, so when I returned home from NHS shift I could shower. 🙏 🌈
Gurgling drain & sink gone! Thanks to Chris for remedying the annoying issue which had been a cause of some concern for us & for explaining the cause, etc. Thanks also to Claire for assisting with the call out process/booking. Great team, great service. Would not hesitate to call again, or recommend to others.
