Moving Manhole Cover
Anonymous user 09/03/2024 - 2.48 PM
Hello, We are building an extension to the rear of our house and there is a manhole cover in the way. We understand that this needs to be moved to allow Thames Water access to the pipes below. What is the normal process (practical not paperwork) for moving a manhole?
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

as with any work in the construction industry it is always best to seek a suitably qualified tradesman to carry out any work .that said it is a fairly simple process to move a manhole however one that i would advise against for any DIYer to attempt hope you find this useful

You need to check with Thames water because in some occasions we are allowed to remove the manhole and reconnect the lines with appropriate pipes and junctions and provide a rodding eye
