Own a Thriving Metro Rod Business in Northampton

A rare opportunity has become available to take over a successful Metro Rod franchise in Northampton, one of the UK’s most commercially active territories.

This is not a start-up. The business is already established, generating around £900,000 in annual turnover, with an experienced team, specialist equipment and a solid customer base in place. For the right buyer, it offers the chance to step into a proven operation and continue building on its success.

A Business That Is Already Working

The Northampton franchise provides a full range of drainage and wastewater services, supporting both residential and commercial clients.

Services include drain clearance, CCTV surveys, tanker works, excavations, lining, pump maintenance and planned preventative maintenance programmes.

This mix of services creates a healthy balance between reactive call-outs and ongoing contract work, helping to generate reliable revenue throughout the year.

With trained engineers, established processes and support from the national Metro Rod network, a new owner can focus on growing the business rather than building it from scratch.

A Territory Full of Opportunity

Northampton is one of the UK’s largest towns and a major logistics and industrial hub, with strong transport links and a thriving commercial landscape.

The territory includes:

• A large and growing residential population
• Major industrial estates and logistics centres
• Healthcare and education facilities
• Thousands of registered businesses

This wide customer base creates consistent demand for drainage services and long-term contract opportunities.

Room to Grow

The foundations are already strong, but there is clear scope for further growth.

A new owner could increase revenue by expanding planned maintenance contracts, developing new commercial accounts or growing the engineering team to handle more specialist work.

For a motivated operator, the potential to scale the business is significant.

Who This Business Could Suit

This opportunity could appeal to:

• An experienced drainage professional ready to run their own operation
• An ambitious entrepreneur looking for a proven service business
• An existing contractor wanting to expand into a new territory
• A commercially minded owner focused on long-term growth
