Double insulated single core cable on outside of house to resolve earth bonding

Hi I have to resolve an earth bonding issue where the incoming water supply pipe is cast iron and enters the house on the opposite side to the CU.

It's sold floors, beams showing although there may be a roof void but the easiest way is round the outside. I am considering using 10mm or 16m single core double insulated cable, blue or brown sleeved to green/yellow.

 

I am looking at this as a conduit run is a bit unsightly and takes time, just thinking there must be a better solution. Whats your opinion on the solution and any other ideas?

Thanks

    What is wrong with running green and yellow 10.mm2 single clipped direct on the outside wall using the best route for neatness? I have seen lots of 10.0mm2 green and yellow run on surface brickwork externally. Sometimes the cable can be hidden behind rainwater downpipes, run high or low as required.
