About Manhole Cover UK
Manhole covers, drain covers and drainage accessories, delivered free across the UK over £60.
We started Manhole Cover UK because buying a manhole cover is harder than it should be. The old one has rusted through or a new driveway is going down, and suddenly you are guessing at sizes, load ratings and whether a recessed tray takes block paving or screed. Builders merchants assume you already know. Marketplaces show you thirty near-identical listings with no help at all.
What we sell
Recessed manhole covers you fill with your own paving or screed so the cover disappears into the surface, galvanised steel inspection covers for when a plain lid is the right answer, cast iron and PVC drain covers and gully grids in the common 150 mm and 175 mm sizes, and the channel drain kits, gravel grids and drain guards that finish a driveway or yard.
The range centres on the 600 x 450 mm clear opening most UK domestic chambers use. Every dimension and every rating on a product page is the manufacturer's stated figure for that item. We do not round, guess or embellish.
Straight answers on sizing
The most common mistake is measuring the old lid instead of the opening. So we say it everywhere: measure the clear opening in millimetres, and if the numbers do not match a size we list, send them to us before you order. A real person replies, usually within one working day, and tells you what fits.
How we ship
Orders go out tracked. Delivery is free on orders of £60 or more, and £6.95 below that. Most parcels arrive within a few working days of dispatch, and you get a tracking link by email as soon as your order is on its way. If it turns up and it is not right, you have 14 days to send it back.
