Default Extending ring main in conduit?

Are individual wires not usually sold by the metre? I like the idea of
these because only one earth wire would be needed. Trouble is the girl
who answered the phone at the local Peco said she'd never heard of
using individual wire. She always sells T&E for the purpose and this
with 20mm conduit, as 25mm is special order and only sold in bulk.
Fortunately there is a local Screwfix now.


TLC cut most cables - but not this one. Probably no demand. You could
check Ebay, though.
Just for info you used to be able to get it in stranded too - which made
pulling through conduit that much easier. Dunno if you still can.
