Does anyone know where I can get them from? Little clear glass cartridge type fuse. 2 of them in our steam room steam generator just popped and I've got no spares at all and wouldn't know where to even try to buy some..

That's the thing, they should be on their own circuits with 16A outlets, or that's what our electrician said, but the guy who built the hotel didn't do it properly and it's too big a job to convince the boss to do. I'm not a qualified electrician, but I have an NVQ3 in Electrical Engineering...

Thanks for that Ban-all-sheds. Really helpful advice. Seems ironic coming from someone who's not only normally so outspoken against irellevant and unhelpful remarks and comments but has a signature that completely goes against your last comment. All I wanted to know was what power bulbs...

You wouldn't have any details on the replacement heaters would you? Just so I could have a look into it and see whether it would be an option for us. The bulbs I'm looking to replace them with are R7S bulbs, but they have a quartz jacket on them to stop them shattering all over the food if...

The guys in our kitchen have 3 plate warming units which since I started have had the wrong bulbs in. They use the R7S type halogen bulbs, but should have the jacketed type and since I started I've mentioned it to them and the GM several times and explained the risk of them popping over food...

We've got 2 large internal manhole covers over the balance tank in our swimming pool. As the rim around the manhole cover collects crystalised chlorine residue it's generally quite difficult to lift. Over time it's weakened the keys that came with the manhole covers and the other day one of...

Can I just check with the more experienced of you? I've been asked to supply and pull the cable for our controls contractor as he's stuck in Germany somewhere until Sunday and he has to go back on Tuesday so he only has half a day to commission a couple of new actuators we have. He left a...

We have two reasonably large and heavy double seal manhole covers over the balance tank in our pool area and I'm trying to find some kind of lubricant that could be used to make sure they're always easy to lift. One of the manhole covers was lifted no more than two months ago, and I've nearly...

I haven't painted it at all. It came in a white coating so I didn't think it needed another coat of paint.

I had a new single rad fitted in our bedroom no more than two years ago, and to be fair we tuck our curtains into the top of the radiator to keep the heat in the bedroom instead of it being trapped in the window void and disappearing outside. Over the last few months we've noticed little bits...

Is this right? First of all I suspect it is our iron that keeps causing the problem as it has a bad leak on it and I think the water is getting onto the terminals so I've told my wife that we're getting a new one ASAP. Anyway, was doing a pile of ironing this morning while watching tv and...

Thinking about what you've said I guess we don't really need a dimmer switch at each end. We could just have a normal switch for on/off and have one two way switch at the other end for when we want to dim the lights which in all honesty wouldn't be that often anyway. Problem solved...

Do they exist? We're having a wall knocked down between our kitchen an dining room tomorrow and I'm wondering if we could have a dimmer switch for what was the dining room and a normal switch for the kitchen spots. Has anyone seen any mixed switches with a dimmer and normal on/off switch...

Yeah, fortunately there's not too many of them so if they need refurbishing, it's not the end of the world. They don't have a draught strip around them and they have the lever catches on them rather than screw locks. Can anyone recommend a company around the North East that would be...

The hotel I work in is an old building with sash windows and we're getting a lot of complaints of late because of the sash windows rattling when it's windy. Is there any advice anyone can offer on how to stop this without the use of window wedges? We have a joinery contractor who I've...

Where on God's earth can you buy the 3/4"-1/4" adaptors to go from a conventional service valve to a fridge freezer water inlet? Plumb Centre sent me to PTS who then sent me to a local electrical shop who just looked at me as if I was losing my marbles (which I suspected they would!) I...

I'm looking at buying some fire extinguishers and just wondered what the sensible price is for a 9ltr Water and a 2kg CO2 cylinder. Anyone? I'm basically trying to find out if Screwfix's prices are reasonable. Ta!

Could you elaborate please?

On Friday, my boss asked me to hang a large painting and two large mirrors to a wall in one of the rooms in the original hall. Now the hall is a John Dobson building and was built in 1818, however that doesn't mean the internal decorating was done in 1818 as I am told the building was stood in...

Reckons he's taken it part-ex and can't be arsed to sort it since it runs, but I'd obviously have it checked out properly before paying for it. Surely a 90k diesel engine shouldn't have compression issues though should it?
