2 part pavior manhole cover - Is there such a product.

Foul and surface water, private drains and public sewers, land drains and soakaways, filter drains and any other ways of getting rid of water.

I have a cover that is partly covered by a timber building & it is a pain to get it moved to lift the full cover. Does anyone know of a 2 part cover where one part can be lifted for access. Standard 600x450 pavior cover is in place at the moment. It's in a patio so load bearing is not too much of an issue.

Not understanding you correctly, but cant you have an access cover within the wooden building?
Why do you need to keep accessing it?

At the moment I may have a blocked sewer system & only half of the cover is accessible as currently a playhouse is sitting on the other half. I would need to cut out part of the doorway, porch & floor. We have had 3 blockages in 5 years with 2 in the last 18 months & may want to replace the playhouse with a more substantially built summer house & don't really want to cut the side & floor out. Its in a really tiny back garden. Having a 2 part cover would allow the uncovered part to be lifted. Hope this makes sense.

Ah right, I understand now.

I would suggest getting a block paving cover modified by a local blacksmith get him to make it into two, so you can effectively lift out onehalf, while the other half stays put.
not aware of another way

Would a slide in out cover work. Can get one for about £70ish?
