At CountyClean Group, we understand the importance of well maintained manhole covers for the safety of pedestrians and road users. With our years of experience, qualified engineers, and state-of-the-art equipment, we offer comprehensive manhole cover repair and replacement services that ensure your covers meet industry standards and local regulations.
Replacing or Repairing Manhole Covers and Frames
Manhole cover repair kits are available through different companies. They are often a quick fix but won’t completely resolve the problem. We strongly recommend calling on the services of a professional as manhole covers need to be repaired properly to provide protection to pipework and comply with safety and load bearing regulations. Whatever the issue, CountyClean Group can replace your broken, damaged or worn manhole covers.
We offer a complete fix service which involves: removing damaged covers, safely protecting exposed areas, removing and re-building benching (the framework) and installing a new fully compliant cover. We will assess your existing cover and frame and discuss the best option for manhole repairs.
Our team will source the correct manhole cover and frame for you depending on the location of the manhole. If it is on a driveway, you will need to ensure the cover can take the weight of vehicles. We will fit the cover correctly and ensure that the mortar the frame sits on is in good condition or replaced.
Manhole / Inspection Chamber Maintenance
With our full suite of services, we can keep your manholes free flowing of blockages and remove any root ingress too. With powerful high-pressure water jetting equipment and vacuum tankers, we can empty and clean manholes if required.
Who Is Responsible for Replacing Drain Covers?
Generally, the local water and sewage authority is responsible for maintaining, replacing and repairing manhole and drain covers on public property such as streets, pavements and parks. Broken or damaged manhole covers are not only unsightly but pose a safety risk. They can also lead to damage to the drains they protect along with rodent issues. If the damaged cover is on a drain that’s inside your boundary and serves only your property, you will be responsible for its maintenance.
