Haha a bit OTT at times but she's lovely and quite the perfectionist who likes things up to date and in good nick, we're very similar in that sense. I think it was a good call here, the existing frame would not have passed any inspection due to the amount of serious faults on it and even if...

Thanks for the support but Calm down Nige, we're a happy DIY family round here and my Aunt owns the place! Yes its a traditional double seal jobbie (some silly cone might say triple!) but as you can see its had it's better days. I was intending to give it a good clean, grease and leave it after...

I think I'll remove whatever it is carefully, is it even allowed to be there? Any ideas on question one, will the 750x600 suffice & does the frame clear opening have to line up with the brick clear opening from corner to corner all the way around? or is it OK to be a little off like the...

It's an old corner shop convert, this man hole is in our bedroom extension and where the old shop toilet used to be! We have a basement toilet that pumps up to this chamber and then out into the yard, you can see the next manhole cover in the window of the second pic in my last post. Underneath...

Hi Tony Pics are uploaded!

Hi Tony there should be three boxes at the bottom of the post, if you right click on them it should give you the option to view image. Apologies for the double post, I hit post thread twice as it didn't say anything the first time. Just in case the images don't work here are the URLs...

Q.1 Hi I have an internal manhole cover that needs replacing as its not double sealed and doesn't meet regulatory standard. The existing frame clear opening measures at 760x610x3mm and doesn't line up exactly with the brick work opening all the way round, there is enough access to the chamber...
