I need to lay new cable for a wired boiler stat. Am i ok to use two & one 2.5mm which is normal power cable. I have been told 1mm is fine, but if i am going to buy 25m i may as well get power so i can use it on any sockets in the future.
 
Depends on the stat.

Many need 3-core and earth as you have to provide a neutral as well as live and the switched live return.

2.5mm² will be too big for the connection terminals on the stat, in many cases.

You can buy most cables by the metre so get the right cable for the job.
