What is a decent manufacturer for domestic power and light cables?

wpqs

I am specifying cables for a domestic house construction. Do members have any advice about manufacturers? For example, I understand certain Chinese manufacturers produce very cheap cable, but the quality is terrible.  Which manufacturer produces good quality cable for a reasonable price?

    At those prices, perhaps we should move to 3 phase supply being the norm. Electric showers designed for 400 volts and connected between any two phases. Electric cookers for three phase supply, as is already done in parts of Europe. 3 phase 16 amp circuits for EV charging.

    I have been contemplating the advantages and disadvantages of supplying my kitchen (dishwasher and sockets, but no laundry items) with 10 mm² SP cable or 4 mm² TP. The main DB is TP. The cooker and heating are currently by gas, but it would seem foolish not to provide for an electric cooker. In the future, heating may be by a heat pump, but just a modest fan heater and not a wet system.

    Yes, there would be a saving in copper, but the cost of a TP DB rather upsets the economics.
