I have to warn you that I have no formal civil training, and have just learned by breaking stuff. If you can learn anything from my mistakes then great, but you do so at your own risk!

Thanks for the video. The mortor around our man hole cover in the back yard crumbled away and caused a big blockage 🤢🤮 Now that's sorted I just need to replace the rusty cover and this video has shown how simple it is.

Thank you - I looked at a clarks drain cover today as the lid has rotted on mine in the garden - and was wondering how do I change this. Now I know it is reasonably straight forward, thanks to your help. I will get it ordered and done.

@colinlynes8463 2 года назад

Thanks for the vid, I'm just about to replace mine, I made the mistake of thinking the frame slotted in to the brick work but I see that it rests on top and is held in place by the concrete you laid. I just nervous that it will slip because I park cars on mine.

@LarcsWorkshop 2 года назад

Thanks, ours is still good and it gets driven over every day. Good luck sorting it out 🤞. Cheers Larcs 👍

@booshallmighty 2 года назад

Great job, mine is Raised, I want to get one of those you put block paving in. Do I just smash the surround off?

@LarcsWorkshop 2 года назад

Yep, but do it so you don't damage the chamber, mine was pretty much broken off any way. I would imagine you would have to dig down a bit with one of those? They're quite thick aren't they? Cheers Larcs 👍

@hasd1124 2 года назад

Brilliant video, going to try it myself now. What's the drill bit that you used to break up the concrete? That's the only thing I missed

@LarcsWorkshop 2 года назад

Thanks 😃. It's just an SDS+ drill from Screwfix with a chisel bit. Good luck with the repair 🤞. Cheers Larcs 👍

@andrewdursley3195 4 года назад

Brilliant. Just the info I needed, thanks. Just one question - Is the ballast really required or would just a sand and cement mix work?

@LarcsWorkshop 4 года назад

Cheers 👍. Could be ok for foot traffic, but I wouldn't recommend it if you're driving over it.

@csilk3621 Год назад

Great video, thanks. What is the tool called that you cut through the tarmac with before breaking it up? Could I use that tool to cut through a paving stone?

@LarcsWorkshop Год назад

Thanks, it's a 9 inch grinder with a diamond cutting disc fitted & yes, it's good for cutting paving stone. Cheers Larcs 👍

@now4rent702 2 года назад

How many parts of cement / sand /mortar for the mixture that you use to hold the manhole frame down & fill in the edges that you cut out earlier? Any particular brand of mortar/cement would you recommend?

@LarcsWorkshop 2 года назад

Thanks, I set the frame down on mortar - 1 part cement, 3 parts builders sand. Filled in around it with concrete - 1 part cement, 2 parts chipping, 3 parts sand. Or 1 part cement, 5 parts ballast. Any normal cement from a builders merchants will do. Cheers Larcs 👍

@scummyweasel1 2 года назад

I'm laying block paving, but have a buchan trap access 360x240. I can't find anything with a paving collar to fit. Any ideas? Thanks

@LarcsWorkshop 2 года назад

No sorry, I don't know? Cheers Larcs 👍

@dbrown8698 Месяц назад

I detect a Bristolian accent? Thanks for this though - very helpful. Question - why use mortar for bedding the frame and concrete for filling the gap surrounding? Sorry - not a builder, so have no clue.

@LarcsWorkshop Месяц назад

Somerset boy, not far from Brizzol👍. I used mortar to bed it down because the stones in the concrete could stop it leveling down properly (they won't squish like mortar 😉).

@bendavis6784 3 года назад

How long would you leave the mortar to dry before concreting? Does it have to be fully dry? thanks!

@LarcsWorkshop 3 года назад

I didn't wait for it to set off completely, just a couple of hours. Seems ok still👍. Cheers Larcs.

What does it cover? Storm water drainage?

@jst4fun228 3 года назад

Do you need to let council know or waters supplier?

This one is on private property with private drainage, so no. Would be worth checking with your local council if you're unsure. Cheers Larcs

@LarcsWorkshop 4 года назад

It's rated at 10tonnes and it's in a domestic drive so should be ok. I'll keep an eye on it though, thanks 👍

@JDAMC 3 года назад

There is always one isn't there. Know it all who clearly doesn't.

@maudcls5610 Год назад

That lid is not rated 10tonnes. It's 6.25kilo Newtons or 6.25tonnes. It's not even up to A15 on BSI. It's a Facta one for pavement only. Won't do you any harm but it's the cheapest money can buy and if you want it to last a lifetime you must get a cast iron one, not a plastic frame one
