Hi all,
Our galvanised steel frame has rusted away and needs replacing. Its a standard 450 x 600 size. However, the origional builders (a national house builder) have installed the concrete reinforced housing that the frame sits in unlevel. Additionally, half of the cover is on the drive, and half is on the pavement. As the drive is a small shared drive, everytime we park our car on the drive, we run over one side of the manhole cover. This can't be avoided if our neighbour has parked on the drive too.
So, my question is how best to re-bed a galvanised steel frame to a correct level. Are pre-cast concrete frames available that the frame would just sit in?
Also, just to add we will be having an extension in the next year and will need to run new drainage into the chamber.
Thanks in advance,
Paul
