Roman Rod

A household blockage may begin at a sink, toilet, or outside drain; at a commercial property, the same problem can affect kitchens, yards, and service areas. Roman Rod operates from Bath and provides drainage services for homes, businesses, and property owners. The family-run company traces its history to 1982.

An initial visit may involve clearing a blocked pipe or drain to restore flow. When the problem persists or its cause is unclear, the company offers high-definition CCTV surveys. The report records what the inspection finds and outlines options, helping distinguish a one-off blockage from a damaged pipe or a recurring issue.

For repairs, Roman Rod offers internal lining and no-dig solutions. Instead of opening the ground along the full pipe route, a technician can install a liner inside the drain when conditions allow. The company also handles root cutting and scale removal, addressing common causes of reduced flow or blockages.

The service range also includes manhole-cover replacement and commercial drainage repairs. For buildings, restaurants, and lodging businesses, work can include surveys, planned cleaning, and maintenance contracts; the company’s website also lists services involving soakaways, gullies, oil separators, and grease traps. The right option depends on the system and the findings of an inspection.

Roman Rod serves Bath and communities across Somerset, Wiltshire, and South Gloucestershire. Its listed service areas include Bradford-on-Avon, Chippenham, Corsham, Devizes, Keynsham, Melksham, Radstock, Trowbridge, and Yate. This gives a sense of the regional coverage without implying the company has branches in each town.

The company describes itself as family-run, with its own workforce and no subcontractors. It also states that it is Trading Standards approved and insured, and advertises transparent pricing with no call-out fee. Its commercial page places emergency service within working hours; it does not promise round-the-clock availability.

The services differ by diagnosis and method: unblocking clears an obstruction, a camera survey helps locate damage, and lining may repair some pipes without excavation. For a home or business, that sequence provides a practical way to decide whether the issue calls for a single visit, a written survey, or a maintenance plan.
