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?

    I have not bought a hundred metre roll of 10.0 mm twin and earth for a couple of months, I guess they are currently around £340.00.

    There is no such thing as cheap cable is there?

    It's the same the whole world over,
    It's the poor what gets the blame,
    It's the rich what gets the pleasure,
    Ain't it all a blooming shame?

    “It's unwise to pay too much, but it's worse to pay too little.
    When you pay too much, you lose a little money - that's all.

    When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do.

     The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot - it can't be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.”
