[#1095872]

We have had our cellar converted, and the builder put in one of these

http://www.triton-chemicals.co.uk/prod4.php

Its been concreted in place, and our builder has layed chipboard, and then plyboard, ready for flooring. He has cut a square shape out of the board so you can lift it out to get to the pump etc.

I intend to put 600 x 300 slate tiles down, so my thinking is that I need some form of manhole cover (preferably hinged) so I can get access when needed, but I want to be able to still have the area covered in the slates.

Where should I look?

you will need a sealed recessed tray cover. Get it from local builders supplier or google it

What you need is called a floor access panel/cover. Googling that will find plenty, but a pro tile supply place will hold stock.
