Meet Sam – The Man Behind The Name

I’m Sam — and Roman Rod isn’t just a business to me, it’s my family legacy.

I grew up around it, watching my parents build something honest, reliable, and real.

Now I run Roman Rod with the same values they instilled: work hard, do it right, and treat every customer fairly.

You’ll often find me on-site with my sleeves rolled up, not stuck in an office. I pride myself on being approachable, upfront, and personally involved in the work we do.

I treat every property like it’s my own — and every customer like I’d want my mum to be treated.

Donna Burns

Heart of the Operation

Donna started her career as Bath’s youngest Marks & Spencer manager — but joined Roman Rod when Jeremy set off on his own.

She’s been behind every invoice, every account, and every late-payer-chasing phone call ever since.

While the lads clear the drains, Donna keeps the books (and the business) flowing smoothly.

Jeremy Burns

The One Who Started It All

Roman Rod began 45 years ago with an old van, a couple of drain rods, and a commitment to doing things properly.

Jeremy built this company on the foundations of hard work, fair pricing, and a handshake-level trust that earned us loyal customers for life.

He’s seen it all — recessions, rapid growth, COVID — and kept the business running strong through it all.

These days, he’s semi-retired, but still on hand to offer advice and keep us grounded.

Tommy

Chief Van Security & Morale Officer

If you see a chilled Border Terrier-Jack Russell riding shotgun in the van, that’s Tommy — Sam’s right-hand pup.

He keeps the team calm on tricky jobs, always happy to say hello, and will probably be snoozing while Sam clears your drain.

(But don’t worry, he guards the van in between naps.)

Built on Trust. Powered by Experience.
