    Hi folks
    I have a Polypipe AJ/manhole in a laneway. It has a 300x300 lid. ideally I would get it taken out and a metal top/lid installed but that isn't an option right now. Looking to replace it with a metal lid if possible? I know you can get them for Wavin AJs but they don't fit the cheap/crappy Polypipe tops :(

    Any suggestions? I see a Clark-Drain have a 300x300mm metal lid, might it fit?

    Cool, gonna order the send one from Goodwins and see how we go - hopefully the extra 5mm won't be a problem. Thanks for the replies folks!

    Pity. Personally, I'd have put manners on it with an angle grinder.

    Hi, did you get a cover that fitted? I'm looking for something similar and was wondering how you got on with your one

    Thanks

    Unfortunately no - not resolved even after buying to alternative lids. Seems the best thing to do is to find a metal fabricators and give them a plastic lid and ask them to make a metal version. I haven't done that yet as we just replaced the busted plastic one with another plastic one. It will get destroyed again but buys me time! :)

    Try Galco, I had a similar issue and picked one up there no probs. Think it was 300x300 but not quite sure, was 2 years ago.
