Manhole cover replacement

[andy tosdevin]

Hi I am getting my patio re done but this drain cover is so old it will look so out of place the size of the cover is 675l x 500w but with the slit edges, I have looked online but no luck, just want something that's new so won't look so bad on the eye, if anyone can help that would be great.

Is it the concrete rings or bricks inside?

You might have to reduce it lower down then fit a normal sized lid on.

Open it and post a photo and measure the depth from finished paving surface to the base of the pipe at the bottom of the chamber.

You can often reduce the opening to allow a 600x600 cover to be used but not if its too deep. Sometimes those old conc chambers dont even have a junction in them, its simply an inspection point so less critical.
