Judging by the advice here, I don’t imagine they would have done much different?

If anyone is able to give me advice on making good where it sits 9mm higher so I’d be obliged!

I would of got the manhole cover lifted out from the frame without braking the concrete.

Fair point, but I’m in the same predicament regarding the cover sitting beneath the finish floor level, even if I recast the cover.

Solution provided on another thread, but thanks to all for advice

To answer: you could buy an oversize internal recess cover and frame, and sink the frame into the solid floor outside the manhole footprint.
Then fill the recess with sand and cement mortar to the height you need for your flooring.
The rim of the frame & the fixing points will always be visible, level in line with the solid floor surface.
Your frame will not be proud of the solid floor.

This is exactly what the info I need - cheers @tell80 - now to find a builder to fit, as aside from the holiday, I think it’s beyond my DIY skills!
