Roman Rod Ltd is a local and independent family run business based in Bath and serving a growing list of clients in and around Bath, Wiltshire, and South Gloucestershire. We are members of Bath Trading Standards ‘Buy with Confidence' scheme and accredited to Contractor Plus Database. After completing an apprenticeship in plumbing at Bath Tech college, and working for Haywood and Wooster, I decided to start my own plumbing business - Roman Plumbing Services - with my wife, Donna, back in 1982.

Sometimes, after reviewing the CCTV survey footage and exhausting every viable option to clear your drains, there is no alternative other than to do a drain excavation. This is always the very last resort, because we are committed to causing our clients as little disruption as possible with "no dig" repairs - but occasionally excavation is unavoidable. Whether it's a simple gully replacement or larger works like a complete drain excavation then Roman Rod can provide the service from start to finish.

There are dozens of reasons why drains become blocked. Grease and fat poured down the sink, unsuitable objects flushed down the toilet, an invasion of tree roots or a collapsed pipe are among the most common causes. It's an unpleasant experience, but fortunately if the drain blockage occurs in Bath, you can call on the specialised drain clearance services of Roman Rod. Roman Rod are on the spot, based in the heart of Bath, so are able to respond rapidly to any emergency call for assisting with nasty blockages or back-ups in both residential and commercial properties.

If you live in the Wiltshire county town of Trowbridge, or own commercial property there, spare a kindly thought for the clever hidden reticulation of water and waste pipes and drains that keep the water flowing in and out of homes and businesses. Every property in Trowbridge - indeed in any of our housing and industrial estates - has two important pipes out of sight underground which occasionally need some attention. The first is the water supply pipe which brings in water to the property from the water main out in the street, and the second is the sewer pipe which carries waste water away.

Drains may crack and joints open up as a result of ground movement, water infiltration, root ingress or vehicular traffic. The only solution in the past has been to locate the defective area and repair the pipe after excavating to expose the drain. If a drain meets a certain criteria, using high tech equipment, a repair can be carried out without excavation. This is known as a structural lining repair and Roman Rod are experts at this service. What could be worst after getting home from a long days work to find that your bathroom is backing up and blocked?
