47 Years of Drainage Experience - Now Focused on Structural Excellence

Roman Rod Cotswolds is the specialist surveying and structural repair division of Roman Rod Ltd — a family-run drainage contractor founded 47 years ago.

We combine long-standing practical experience with modern survey standards and structural relining expertise across the Cotswolds and South West.

Our Foundations

Roman Rod was founded by Jeremy Burns, who built the business on a simple principle:

Do the work properly. Every time.

Over nearly five decades, that approach earned a reputation for reliability, consistency and straightforward communication across Bath and the South West.
What began as a hands-on drainage operation evolved naturally into more technical investigation, condition surveys and structural rehabilitation.

Roman Rod Cotswolds reflects that evolution — a specialist arm dedicated to:

How We Work

Methodical. Disciplined. Professional.

Drainage systems – particularly in older Cotswold properties – require careful assessment and sound judgement.

Our approach is built around:

Both Samuel and Steffan bring a military background into the business — and with it, a disciplined, structured and accountable way of working.

Preparation matters.
Detail matters.
Standards matter.

That mindset carries into every survey and every relining project we undertake.

Accreditation & Standards

Working to Recognised National Standards.

We operate to:

These standards ensure clarity, consistency and professional accountability — particularly for homebuyers, estate agents and commercial clients who rely on our reports.
