Stairwell lights help - Need new light covers

[johnnymac58]

Hello,

Was replacing the bulbs in the communal stairwell in my block of flats but the old covers on the lights disintegrated when I took them off.

Anyone know where I can get new ones to cover these light fittings?

Pictures attached below, can't seem to find anything online.

It's probably easier and quicker to replace the whole fitting rather than search in vain for covers.

I don't think that will be happening. Will just leave them as they are.

Rather than just a photo - can't you get the make/model from the gear tray? Look on the rear of it.

Then speak to a wholesaler (or a few). Once you find the wholesaler who deals with that manufacturer on a regular basis, you may find they will be able to order some covers in with their next order to the manufacturer.

I could do that, but it's not really a big deal... was more just a quick post to see if any experts knew offhand on here.

It's not easy getting any of these people in this block of flats to do any renovations so I'm not going out of my way with this.

I organise everything for them

Thanks for the advice though

So what happens when the services of an electrician are needed?

Who owns the block?

Why isn't it being properly managed?

Are those lights emergency ones, or if not are there other emergency ones?

When the services of an electrician are needed everyone is liable as its a communal area.

Everyone owns their own properties within the block.

It's not being properly managed as these people are useless and don't care so I take it upon myself to look after the garden and maintenance of the communal areas.

They are not emergency lights, they are just general lighting controlled by sensors.

All I wanted were some light covers

these look a similar size but no covers available by themselves, seem cheap enough though http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Main_In...g_Bulkheads_Index/Bulk_Rnd_Glass_1/index.html

Who decides if professional services are needed (of any sort)?

Who chooses the tradesman?

Who is legally responsible for any contract with a tradesman?

Who pays, and how?

Who manages any disputes with tradesmen? Who do they pursue for payment?

Very public spirited of you.

Have you checked what liabilities you might be incurring by doing these things? Insurances?

Is there any EM lighting?
