Great Ideas Rustproof Stainless Steel Swirl Drain Covers/Hopper Lids/Drainage Guards - Large Drain Covers Outdoor - Metal Drain Covers Outdoor - Pack of 2

My 95 year old neighbour had a quote for £108.00 to clear a blocked gulley drain. This gets rid of rainwater that falls into the back yard and it had got blocked by leaves. It`s not even the main drain and was a total ripoff. I cleared the thing in a matter of minutes, it`s a simple job, check out YouTube, and then to prevent any future blockages I bought two of these and fitted one. It has already proved it`s worth as there has been a lot of leaves blown onto it but these are now easily removed. Very happy to recommend and a very happy neighbour.

Time will tell whether the grate will last but initial impression is that it is fit for purpose, easy to fit, simple to remove and clean. Personally I wouldn't use it on a drain that takes foot or vehicular traffic but is a brilliant value, alternative replacement for old broken cast iron grates set into a recessed gulley.

My landlord's drain guard is the old fashioned iron type, rusted in position and so rusty that there is little space for water to get through. Lately I've been having to unblock it about once a month, and it's a difficult job because of all the rust. These stainless steel covers fit on top of the old one and sit on it very nicely. They are easy to clean off, easy to lift up and they do a great job. The only potential down side that I can think of is that they are so light and flat that they could easily become displaced during a flood.

Great product, it saves a difficult job of clearing debris out of your drains.

I have recently bought a new house with two drain covers required for one drain and the awkward thing being that one of them is an irregular size. With some heavy duty tin snips, I cut one of these covers to fit exactly and could even round off the corners. (The ugly black plastic one that someone has previousy attempted to cut to size before not only looked horrible but had just ended up down the drain). A little strange perhaps to get excited about drain covers but these look absolutely fabulous (for drain covers) and do a much more effective job. Very pleased with them.

They were good quality. But only 4inches square.

Excellent! Fit my 5 square drains perfectly - 15cmx15cm (6ins x 6ins). I have cleared the drains of leaves. fitted these and then put the original grills on top in keeping with the house. Have to wait and see how they perform over this autumn and winter but I have to say all looks promising. Good quality, good price, well packaged and delivered by Hermes. I just need a round one now - any suggestions? Would definitely recommend but MEASURE YOUR DRAINS FIRST to avoid being disappointed. Hope this is helpful.

These drain covers are lightweight but well-made of, what seems to be, a good grade stainless steel. These needed minor adjustment on my grinding wheel to fit the drain hopper-heads but this took only a few minutes. The corners needed to be further rounded-off and small notches were needed to secure a neat fit. Otherwise a good solution to keeping small debris out of the drains.
