Alpha Rod
What we do: we fix blocked drains, we camera survey drains, and we repair drains in Bristol, Swindon, Bath & Surrounding areas. Alpha Rod is a truly local family business with over 20 years of experience in drain services in Bristol, Swindon, Bath & Surrounding areas. We pride ourselves on always providing our customers with total drain solutions rather than just unblocking a drain.

This means that you will find our engineers often putting a CCTV camera in your drain after the blockage is cleared to ensure there are no repeat blockages due to structural defects in the pipe work. This service usually costs an extra 100 to put the camera in the drain and this is what our customers are getting as standard with an unblock.
Services
No problem - this is our bread and butter. When it comes to unblocking and clearing blocked drains, Alpha Rod has all the expertise and equipment you need to get the job done quickly, professionally and with the minimum of fuss. On unblocking your drain as part of our service and at no extra cost we will check the drain that is blocked with our CCTV camera equipment where possible.
If the storm water is not connected to either the foul or a separate storm water drainage system it will lead to a local storm soakaway.

Soakaways can be made in lots of different ways from the storm water downpipe just stopping when it goes underground to a correctly installed storm system where the soakaway is over 5 metres from your property as per current building regulations and the soakaway is made up of either large clean stone or storm water soakaway crates.The soakaway pipe is usually perforated at the soakaway so that water can soak away into the ground when it rains.
We currently look after many factories and office blocks on a monthly, quarterly, half yearly and yearly basis planned maintenance service. The idea behind the pre-planned maintenance is to remove the issues of the emergency call out. As emergencies can happen at any time they usually will happen at the most inconvenient and expensive time.
We provide planned drainage maintenance programmes for a number of industrial, office and residential building clients including Dyson, Cross Manufacturing, Patheon Pharmaceuticals and Ball Aerocan, who trust us to keep their operations running smoothly and prevent any problems or downtimes.

Planned preventative maintenance (PPM) is designed to minimise the likelihood of emergency call outs or expensive production or operating downtimes by undertaking regular maintenance before problems arise.Our diary management software works continuously to highlight when planned maintenance tasks are due, which we then arrange with you at a time to suit your operations.
Alpha Rod provide drain repair services. There is a lot of options when it comes to repairing your drains. We will make sure we do the hard work and choose the best, most cost effective solution to suit your specific drain problem. We repair any foul or storm water pipe under the ground by either a non-dig repair or by excavating and replacing.

Very helpful, very friendly service! I called at 9am to report a blocked kitchen sink. A very friendly engineer was here before the morning was out and got everything working again with no fuss. Highly recommended.

Thank you for your prompt response today to a drain issue. Luke was very polite and happy to explain what the problem was, and although it took a bit longer than expected to clear, I must now have the cleanest drains in Wiltshire!

Very prompt and helpful service - faster than I was expecting. The chap that came was super efficient, very personable, explained clearly what he was doing, and managed to solve both problems completely and tidily. Definitely worth using. Thank you, Alpha Rod.

Fantastic service from the moment I made the initial call to the engineer driving away after completing the work. I have been in construction for 40+ years, and can happily say Alpha Rod are up with some of the best I have ever come across. If needed, would definitely use them again.

I spoke to Pandora who was extremely helpful and patient in explaining costs and also took time in understanding what the problem actually was. Gordon arrived within 2 hours of ringing and the problem was resolved within 30 minutes. Everyone was polite and professional. Would certainly recommend. Thank you

Friendly and professional team, shout out to Glen Houston, very hard working and professional chap, good to have on board. Definitely recommend Alpha Rod, got their number out of Dentons directory.
Alpha Rod definitely got me out of a jam. Word to the wise, if you put expanding foam down holes next to a drain, absolutely make sure you've not got a hole in your drain beforehand.

Very impressed - after years of intermittent drainage problems which other people have looked at but not solved Alpha Rod knew exactly what they were doing, had all the right kit and sorted it out. Great professionalism and customer service, I would definitely recommend them to anyone with drainage issues.

These amazing chaps have installed a septic tank for me, with all the endless trenches involved. They worked so hard and did the job so quickly. I could not have wished for a nicer bunch of friendly people....I no longer have any problems! Huge thanks Chris.
