Metro Plumb
Plumbing in the UK is a multi-billion-pound industry, with ever increasing demand, join us and help us ensure we have a Metro Plumber in every location in the UK

Investing in a Metro Plumb franchise means you benefit from a trusted and recognised brand with a professional image of quality customer care and emergency support services.

We are in high demand nationwide and are now looking to establish a Metro Plumb business in each of our locations to help us service the many clients we have across the whole of the UK. We are looking for ambitious, hard-working, commercially aware individuals that are looking to run their own business via our Franchise model to help us keep up with this demand.

Metro Plumb was founded after recognising a gap in the market for additional services required by our Metro Rod clients, Metro Rod was founded in 1983 and is a leading provider of drain clearance and maintenance services. Based on the belief that our customers’ needs are of the upmost importance we continue this ethos across our Metro Plumb offering and ensure our entire team is committed to meeting those needs. As a result, a high percentage of our business is from repeat customers and referrals.

You will benefit from the associated history of satisfied customers and a well-respected brand name. We serve domestic households along with many national business customers across multiple sectors including facilities management, retail, water utilities, social housing, hospitality and insurance, as well as local businesses and other customers in the private and public sectors.

Here are just a few of the companies that rely on our services…

As you are able to work from home there is minimal set up fees other than a van and equipment pack both of which we can help you with, which means you will have a fully branded professional looking van and uniform from day one. For hard working and dedicated franchisees, the Metro Plumb franchise model can generate a fantastic earning potential. Plumbing has remained resilient against recession. Our emergency repair services and regular maintenance contracts have kept Metro Plumb franchisees busy, regardless of the state of the economy.
