    I've had to lift quite of them. In theory you can get them up. In practice you stick the Kango through them and fix the drain problem and renew the cover.
    At least you know where the manhole is.
    A bit desperate! Plus, the paving to hide the cover has been done well, so it would be a shame.
    People are often desperate to have their drains unblocked. However, if you can get the cover up without any damage it would be a good result.
    Ha, that's true!
    This is more pre-emptive inspection, though.

    It's always a wise move to check your manhole covers are easily located and removed. Always should be one of the first jobs when moving in to a new house, as well as checking the stopcock and smoke alarms work.
    Hopefully you'll get this one up without any damage.
