New conservatory over drain inspection cover

No. I've had a gas-tight lid in a kitchen. They're usually designed for a tiled inlay and are quitre inconspicuous.

It is quite feasible but you need to comply with the building regulations. Best to go and talk to them before committing to the purchase.

We have one of those with the cover under the side wall near the house. The conservatory has a half wall and the bit over the cover was required to be full height plastic, not brick so it looks a bit odd.

If anything goes wrong the conservatory will have to be dismantled for access.

Avoid if any walls are involved. Under the floor in the conservatory is probably a different matter, and easier to cope with.

As the house is occupied by an old lady who has gone a bit dotty and shoves anything down the toilet we are resorting to prayer at the moment.

I have a sealed screw down manhole cover in my lounge extension floor, had to roll the carpet up once in 14 years to allow the building inspector to have a mooch as he missed it the first time. Not too worried about needing to get at it again if need be though - just takes an hour or so to make sure the carpet goes back properly. Franko.
