I would be extremely surprised if it is covered by insurance. The problem is lack of maintenance and neglect.

its wear and tear should be covered by building insurance, can I ask who you're with?

Tescos! As for lack of maintenance etc how do u maintain a cover? No weeds as it's concrete and carefully jetwashed twice a year.

Yep Tescos should cover if that your building insurance you should just have to pay excess. You might aswell try as manholes with beching are in region of up to �300.00
