Inspection cover and flooring

[houseofzane]

Hi I have a lean too at the side of my house. Has upvc windows and doors and a flat roof. It’s a narrow corridor. We use it almost like a utility room with a tumble dryer and shoe storage. It has an old concrete slab floor with an inspection cover for a drain from our toilet.
I was thinking of changing the inspection cover for a recessed one so I could use resin aggregate and put a new floor in. From what I understand you cannot just swap out the cover you need to change the tray as well?
I’m just trying to make it look a bit nicer in there or should I put down something like rubber matting that could be taken up if access required. Appreciate any help or suggestions

It’s not rocket science to swap a traditional manhole with a recessed one. A bit of possible brickwork but nothing that a is hard for a DIYer. If you want to install resin as a DIY job, you are probably capable of doing the cover.
Or if you’re paying a resin company then they could do it?

The resin would raise the level so ensure that the DPC is ok.
Probably ensure that the resin is non permeable (I don’t know if it is/isn’t.)
If your washing machine or the manhole leaks you don’t want the liquid to permeate to the concrete.
