so the question is.... is there a suitable everyday UK alternative ?

Talc - probably :-}

What sort of load are you pulling from the other end of the cable - have
you allowed for changes to the rating of the cable given the "tight"
nature of the conduit (unless its only a short run) ?

Do you intend to use the conduit and T&E in a "flexible" environment,
where the cable might need to move with an appliance etc ?

Yes - load is about 300 watts and the cable is 1.5mm twin and earth, so I think
there is enough margin of safety there.... I could use 1.0mm but 1.5mm is what
I have so I am using it.

No - its a fixed environment - twin and earth is not intended for a flexible
environment as the copper will work harden and fracture.
