Metro Rod Manchester and Macclesfield carry out drainage and plumbing maintenance across all sectors and industries throughout the UK, from hospitality and leisure, to facilities management and construction. However, one of the biggest sectors we carry out work for is the retail industry. From drain unblocking at high street stores to CCTV drain surveys at retail parks, we are proud to serve retail outfits across the UK. This is why Metro Rod Manchester and Macclesfield carry out regular drain unblocking and preventative works for 2 Selfridges sites in Manchester – one in the city centre, and the other at the Trafford Centre.

Selfridges in Manchester use Metro Rod for a number of reasons, from reactive callouts for drain unblocking on blocked drains and unidentified foul smells, to CCTV drain surveys and a pre-planned maintenance service on numerous drainage outlets within store. The most recent pre-planned visit to one of their stores was in mid-December 2018, to carry out the regular emptying and general maintenance of the grease traps on site. This service prevents the site having to call us out for drain unblocking at inconvenient times (not that any time is ever convenient!), keeping the day to day operations of the store running smoothly. To complete this work, one of our engineers, Paul, took our 26 tonne combination tanker to site where he spent 3 hours emptying their grease traps and cleaning them out.
In addition to emptying and cleaning the grease traps, Paul also replaced the MSGD (multi strain grease degrader) chemical, which is used to help break down solid food waste at the source of disposal and minimise the amount travelling downstream, which in turn will minimise the chances of drainage outlets becoming blocked and stops the guys at store having to call us out for reactive drain unblocking. Following these works carried out at site, Paul then took the contents to a licensed waste disposal site and emptied it in a manner that complies with environmental regulations.
Maintenance Supervisor, Eugene Swarts, is pleased with the overall service offered to Selfridges by Metro Rod Manchester and Macclesfield;
“Metro Rod (Manchester and Macclesfield) have been servicing the grease traps within Selfridges for many years and with exceptional and prompt service. Metro Rod understands the needs of the business and have in the past gone out of their way to resolve issues and blocked drains.”
