what do you call the "ring" or "collar" that goes around a drain to stop leaves getting in

our drain blocked up and I managed to unbung it (hurray!) with a drain rod. The nice drain people camera'd it and confirmed it was now clear but said we need a better cover/ring/circle around. I'd put three bricks around it and they said "that's fine just add chicken wire on top" but I expect you can buy something a big smarter to have the same effect?
What I need is two semi-circular pieces with a hole in the middle for the pipe that can go around the drain.

Are these sold in shops and what are they called? just covers?

Thank you

I bought a drain cover from Amazon

A drain cover, they come as one piece.

Have a look on the ScrewFix website, they have diagrams and names of all that type of thing.
Once you know the name, you can order one.
