I'm running some power and cat 6 lines to my new garden office but can't find any grey ducting. I've order the black but can only find alternatives in green, purple and orange but no grey for telecommunications. Has anyone got a source as google isn't very helpful this evening?

If you search for 'BT Ducting' you will find what you want.
You shouldnt be putting power and data cables in the same duct.

You shouldn't - I guess that's why he has ordered the black, and is now looking for the grey
Kind Regards, John
Edit: odd - how on earth did I miss DaftPunk's post?! - at least we agree!
Lovely stuff thanks. Just to clarify the power and CAT 6 are going in different colours of ducting with separation once buried incase anyone was thinking I was going to put them in the same length.
You don't have to use grey, that's just what BT use.
The National Joint Utilities Group colour for exactly the same services was white for Mercury Communications and green for all other telcos. On motorways purple is used for communications.
I'd say as long as you avoid yellow and blue you'll be fine.
Personally I'd just use black.
