Manhole Covers - Recessed (Internal Use)

ClarkDrain are one of the UK market leaders in the supply of manhole covers, and are probably the best known name in the industry. We have partnered with them as a supplier since we began trading many years ago.

Recessed manhole covers are a relatively modern invention. Using a simple lift-out tray concept, they enable modern inspection chambers or old manholes to be accessed from within a patio, driveway or garden area or internal space without the need for an unsightly steel or cast iron cover that looks unsightly. Internal use recessed covers are generally filled with concrete or screed but there is no reason that laminate flooring or carpet cannot be laid within the tray on a level base layer.

Our internal manhole covers feature a factory fitted neoprene seal that eliminates any drain odours. All of our internal recessed covers can be used externally provided that they are not laid in a driveway.

Block paving, patio slabs, concrete or tarmac is laid within the recessed tray, matching the material finish all around the cover. Paving slabs and block paviors are aligned so that the sand or mortar lines line up exactly with the adjacent products, making the recessed cover almost invisible.

Most recessed covers feature integral lifting keys to avoid the need to disturb the infill. A variety of weight loading options and a wide range of sizes are available from our stock.
