We’re more than pleased with the van conversions. They portray a professional image and the operators have also commented on the quality of the work.”
Metro Rod is one of the UK’s largest drainage contractors, with over 40 franchises undertaking domestic and commercial maintenance across the country. In 2018, the company’s North Midlands and Worcester franchise approached Andy Guest to fit out two identical drainage vans to add to their fleet of vehicles, and have been delighted with the results.
With a large focus on social housing contracts, Technical director Nick Coope explains that Andy Guest’s turnkey approach was a key reason that the franchise switched to using their machines: “Previously we would have a jetter installed, then do bits of the conversion ourselves and buy off-the-shelf kit to install. We now have a full service and Andy Guest know exactly what we want. We’re more than pleased with the van conversions. They portray a professional image and the operators have also commented on the quality of the work.”
