£3 a metre.... and possibly not 13A (have to check the tables, unless an electrician happens to be reading...

Not bothered by the price but you're right, it needs to be 1.25 or 1.5mm

You used to be able to buy cable sheaths in a wide range of colours, perhaps that would be an alternative idea?

Seems a tricky order. Just failed with my Googling but did find this gold coloured sheathing in various sizes. Only thing I can think of apart from that is running smaller cables in parallel, but with the cables I did find you'd have to have three of them! :(

Thanks all for having a look. I just wondered if I'd missed something. It's for an electric fire and the provided black just looks dreadful. Although it's a lot more work, I've now decided on dropping the cable through the floor and across to a nearby socket. Cheers.
