The Somerset town of Keynsham, and the adjoining village of Saltford, have achieved renown for being the site of a large number of ancient Roman buildings. Perhaps it is therefore no co-incidence that when the residents of this busy area straddling the A4 between Bristol and Bath need their drains or plumbing attended to, they call in Roman Rod Ltd!

The Roman remains at Keynsham, which include what was possibly the largest Roman villa in Britain, can barely be seen today, but the Roman Rod squad are very much in evidence making sure the town’s modern-day drains, sewers and pipes keep functioning. Those Romans of old knew a thing or two about drainage and plumbing, and Roman Rod are carrying on the ancient art in Keynsham and Saltford utilising the latest technology, machinery and methods.

Roman Rod has high performance equipment capable of unblocking any drain from a sink or toilet waste to a 9” pipe. When blockages or overflows occur in pipes and drains in Keynsham or Saltford, Roman Rod dispatches its rapid response crew to the site – domestic or commercial – to assess and fix the problem as quickly as possible, with minimal disruption.

Most sink or toilet bowl blockages can be easily cleared and the pipes well cleaned out by using high pressure jetting. While you’ve got the team on site, why not have them clean your patio or path with their high-pressure surface hover cleaner?

If your drainage pipes are blocked outdoors you’ll probably have noticed a wet, smelly spot in the garden. Our drain detectives can track down the location and cause of the blockage – which could be anything from a collapsed pipe to an incursion of tree roots – and fix the problem.

Roman Rod are specialists in high tech structural lining repairs, which allow broken or cracked pipes to be repaired in situ, without resorting to excavation, using a quick-setting resin.

If all else fails and there is no avoiding digging up your pipes or drains – or if you need a new drain installation in Keynsham – Roman Rod will do the job as quickly, efficiently and unobtrusively as possible.

If we have to excavate, we do so professionally, our watchword being “safety first”. Whether it’s a simple gully replacement or a major sewer installation in Keynsham and Saltford we’ll explain the operation and keep you, the client, in the loop every step of the way.

Extremely powerful drain jetting equipment is used to clear and clean pipes, which fires out laser-like water jets at pressure levels up to 5000 psi.
