Manhole cover keys

I've recently purchased a property and there are 2 manhole covers in my drive. What kind of key do I need in order to open them and is this something I can get from the utility company?

A tent peg puller may fit if you have one laying around.

These are inspection covers for the OP's sewage/waste waterNever pay on an estimated bill. Always read and understand your bill0

Yes Screwfix is your place to go. I would use an old hacksaw blade to thoroughly clean out the dirt at the sides of the cover before attempting to lift it.0
