A Recent Call-Out for a Manhole Replacement in Cambridgeshire
At Kingfisher Drainage & Jetting, we know that damaged or broken manhole covers are more than just an inconvenience – they’re a safety hazard and can quickly lead to bigger drainage problems if not dealt with properly.
Recently, our team was called out to a property in Cambridgeshire to replace a broken manhole frame and riser. The existing cover had deteriorated and was no longer safe for everyday use. A broken or ill-fitting lid can cause risks to vehicles, pedestrians, and even your drainage system, so it’s essential to tackle the issue as soon as it arises.
The Job: Replacing the Manhole Frame and Riser
On arrival, our team assessed the condition of the broken cover and frame. It was clear that the old setup could no longer cope with the demands of daily use, particularly with vehicles driving over it.
We got to work carefully breaking out the damaged frame and riser before installing a brand-new heavy-duty lid and frame. This type of replacement is designed to handle the pressures of everyday traffic while ensuring long-lasting durability.
The result? A safe, secure, and reliable manhole cover that gives the property owner peace of mind and prevents future issues.
Why Professional Manhole Replacement Matters
It may seem like a simple fix, but manhole frames and lids are vital parts of your drainage system. They protect the pipework below while providing safe access for inspections and maintenance.
If left broken or damaged, they can:
- Cause trips, falls, or accidents on driveways and pathways.
- Allow water and debris to enter the system, leading to blockages.
- Leave your drainage pipework exposed to further damage.
By choosing a professional drainage company like Kingfisher Drainage, you can be confident the job is carried out safely, to a high standard, and with the right materials for long-term reliability.
