have blocked drain ,where can i buy a manhole cover hook type lifter uk?
I have a blocked drain, the manhole cover i need to lift is very heavy, it has a metal handle and i need something to lift this. i am trying to find in uk a manhole hook type lifter with no luck, anyone know where i can get one or any advice please. Are these drains tools found at homebase or do I need to go to a specialist drains / tool shop ( or hire a specialist drainage company).

any good diy store ( just use a garden spade , wiggle down between the cover and frame lift slightly , then slide something under to keep it there ) do the same the opposite side , then push aside
travis perkins plumb centre bq dont use spade or crow bar if you value fingers have you tried typing with your nose right tool for job
Your best bet is to go to your local plant and tool hire shop and hire a hydraulic inspection cover lifter. this will save you breaking or straining your back.
Good luck Malcolm C
Other places to try are Wickes and Screwfix.
You should be able to buy manholes keys from a builders merchant, or a plumbers merchant
