Recessed Manhole Covers

Maintain the visual integrity of your paving, tiling, or internal flooring without sacrificing utility access. This curated collection of premium recessed manhole covers (also known as access trays) allows for a continuous, uninterrupted surface finish. By filling the recessed tray with your specific surrounding substrate—including block paving, natural stone, ceramic tiles, vinyl, or concrete—unsightly traditional ironwork is completely disguised.

Featuring industry-leading drainage and access solutions from ACO, EBP, and Alusthetic, with load ratings meeting FACTA and BS EN 124 standards for residential, commercial, and light industrial applications.

Important Installation Note: For all recessed access covers, the stated catalogue dimensions always refer to the internal clear opening size (the inner dimension of the structural masonry or plastic inspection chamber hole), not the exterior frame footprint. To guarantee rated load-bearing capacity (especially for vehicle traffic), the recessed tray must be fully backfilled with an appropriate structural concrete infill (such as C35/45 grade mortar) before laying the final surface material.
