Curly mains cable lead - who sells these?

[Rollerball]

My mother currently has a single gang curly mains cable lead and wants another but I can't seem to source one.

Something like this:

http://www.catersparesuk.co.uk/product/white-curly-mains-cable-lead-13amp-3kw-4-meter/

but of course with a plug and single socket attached.

I'm tempted just to buy the above lead and attach a plug and socket myself but I can't believe that nobody sells them ready made.

It will mostly be used for an electric fire so needs to be a 13 amp cable.

Can anyone suggest a suitable source please? I've searched online for well over an hour but no luck so far.

I was going to sat RS components but their one does not have connectors either. Why not just fit or get an electrician to fit the connectors.

I don't mind buying a plug and socket and fitting them too, I was just hoping to source a complete assembled cable without extra faffing about.

They were 10 a penny at one time.

There's a 13A lead here with moulded plug, then all you have to do is choose the outlet you want on the other end.

Rapid sell coiled cable

Remember that a "13 amp" cable may need to be derated when coiled due to the reduced ability to disipate heat. I can't see it would be a problem with a curly lead but it might be if the cable is running at maximum load.

Thanks securespark and bernardgreen - I'll look into those.

Also noted re heat disipation.

Here's another potential "raw cable" candidate:

Incidentally, would this be a suitable socket:

Thanks but too short I'm afraid.
