l need to replace a manhole cover in my back garden as the frame to hold it has corroded and will not take any weight so is dangerous as it is. It is a waste manhole a oblong shape. Are these all pretty much the same size to replace and where is the best place to get one that is cheap to buy.... Thanks

They do vary in size - depending on what weight they are designed to carry. They come complete with a frame and lid usually and I'm sure you'll find one thats close if not identical. Go to Wickes to see what they have, or any decent builders merchant. Heavy ones are round £100 but a lightweight one will be considerably cheaper.
No it's not, l've just double checked and the frame is inside the brick chamber with screws into the brick

Sounds like someone has replaced an imperial cover with a metric one. You may be better off trying the salvage yards to find one that fits properly. In the meantime lay a bit of 3/4 ply over the top of it to prevent accidents.
