Drain covers - where can I get one from?
Our son has taken to posting stuff down our drains. It cost us 90 quid to have them blasted out, and he's just loaded them up again with miscellaneous stuff!
Anyone have any idea where I can get one of these from (without the hole). I think it's a 110mm rodding point cover.

Id try a local plumber's or builder's merchant, or failing that, Jewson, Plumbcenter, Travis Perkins or similar.
Or maybe something like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Strata-Prod.../dp/B00BXGB7TS
or perhaps this

Otherwise just put a small paving slab over it!

Despite being slightly autistic, he's a devious little fella so I think the Amazon thing wouldn't work, and he'd figure out how to move a paving slab. The screwfix thing looks like it could work. A bit steep maybe considering it's just a bit of plastic, but cheaper than having to get the drains power flushed every week!

There were some other places selling those covers - do a Google search on Floplast. If you can find out who the mfr of your covers are (the name has been partially cut away in the photo) you might be able to get a direct replacement.

I'd screw a chunk of plastic to the underside of that hole to cover over the gap (screw down through it). Any bit of black outside plastic will be fine, cut a bit off with a saw and double or triple it up if it's thin. Use stainless screws (get security torx head ones, and hide the security bits if he's that cunning!). Search ebay or toolstation for a2 screws.

Take the cover off and screw it over the hole. job done :)

Managed to find one in a local builders merchant. My son is not very happy! God knows where he's going to start posting stuff now. :surprised:

I suggest you create somewhere deliberately.. and then not mention it at all... so he can still do it but gets no reaction.

I remember fishing micro machines out my mates VCR and weetabix out his twin tape deck, not as many places to tuck stuff in modern kit :)
