5 core SWA 120mm pvc cable

[buzzer123]

Hello all
So Im doing the groundwork to install a electrical kiosk and lay 250m approx. of cable to live up an off grid property.
I am not an electrician i am only doing the hole digging and slab making for the kiosk - I will not be wiring anything in - not my thing a qualified company approved by uk power networks will be doing that.

I am working for a friend though who wants to source the best priced cable he can - at the moment he has had a price from kew for £40.41 a metre

I was looking for your advice please on where else to call to get a competitive quote -

Thank you in advance for your help

Have you tried the electrician doing the job?

Quite often have good discounts set up through wholesalers that you wouldn't be able to access.

What the size is the 4 core 3phase it will be a big size for 250 meters.

I have - he recommended Kew and i rang them
My client is old and not tech savvy and so i am helping him. He also does not have much money and so I am trying to get him the best price (as this size cable is going to be expensive).
Understandably the Sparky who is doing the install does not want to buy the cable so he has put that into the clients court and will therefore be working on day rate to connect etc

...…...just hoped to have some more input

Hello- could that be done? And safely? Interesting- why did the electrician not mention this? Thank you for that that could be a really good idea

It's just putting the cables in parallel.. No safety issues
