Hello, I have a gulley at the corner of my UK house that's getting damaged due to footfall. The plastic grid is damaged and so is the 'hopper' (not sure that's the correct term)'s rim. It's on the main path around the house and is surrounded by gravel.
2 issues - if I replace the plastic grid, it'll just wear down and start cracking again.
If I replace with a harder wearing metal one, which seem quite hard to find at a reasonable price - small bits of gravel still get into through the grid.
So, what might be my best route here? Can I remove this? Is this a job for a plumber? Can I just cover over it somehow? What is actually the point in gulley's like this? This one in particular joins to an inspection chamber which you can see in the picture to the left (covered by a big concrete slab), and also runs along the side of the house where there is a rodding point.
Any suggestions are welcome!
