Social Housing

Commercial Drainage Solutions for the Social Housing Sector

Metro Rod has one of the broadest portfolios of services of any national drainage contractor. We provide a full range of commercial drainage services for the social housing sector, including:

• Clearing blocked drains
• CCTV drain surveys
• Gutter clearance
• Drain repair
• Septic tank emptying and management
• Soil stack cleaning and maintenance
• Pre-planned maintenance

Managing a portfolio of properties can be difficult, juggling multiple requests and responsibilities all at once– so when you receive a call from your tenant telling you there is a blocked drain or burst pipe, it can disrupt your usual day to day activity.

Blocked drains and burst pipes can be an occupational hazard, if not dealt with quickly and effectively. They can cause inconvenience to both you and your tenants, result in high costs and lead to dissatisfaction among tenants if it begins to disrupt their living habits. Fortunately, we are here to help!

With over 35 years’ experience in the sector, we understand the requirements of social housing. We are responsive and deliver our services with minimal disturbance to residents, alleviating any stress for your tenants and letting your usual activity resume.

Experienced in Management Systems, Pricing and Enhanced Reporting Tools

We understand the need for the correct pricing systems and reporting tools to be used. At Metro Rod, we have knowledge of using third party systems that are unique to individual housing associations and have also developed our own reporting tools to give you a transparent view of all work undertaken.

This enhanced reporting shows you where costs are incurred and allows us to recommend intelligent solutions to reduce drainage problems and drive savings. Our ability to seamlessly use SOR (Schedule of Rates) codes, integrate with your internal systems and enhanced reporting tools is what makes Metro Rod the preferred drainage contractor for many social housing associations.
