    Does anyone know where I could buy a generic vacuum cleaner hose? I need a flexible tube for holding some cables and thought that a vacuum cleaner hose would be ideal.

    I went to Woodies, Atlantic and B&Q today, but none of those stores had one.

    I need to get it for Tuesday too! Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

    Maybe try getting an old hose from a scrapped vac in a Recycling/Amenity Site?

    Have you seen the JML cable tidy? It's advertised on TV and they sell it in Heatons.

    There's a shop called The Washing Machine Centre on the corner in Killester in North Dublin and they sell vacuum cleaner hoses.

    Yeah, I have one of the cable tidy things, I got it it Ikea. I am going to use that too, but I am looking for something to house that so that I can easily run cables through in the future (using a string).

    I will call to that place in Killester, because I am just in Kinsealy, so that will be excellent.

    Thanks!

    A while back I purchased a swimming pool vacuum hose from B&Q, 50meters long and can be cut to any length, I used it in my workshom and have a good few meters left over. It's 2" diameter. PM me with your location and I can try get some to you if your interested.

    Thanks for the suggestions guys. I picked one up at the shop in Killester, and it looks like it will be good.
