200+ metre utility connection

get the roll of electric cable before you dig and lay it as you go. if you have bends it will 100% snag in that horrible felxi duct. 

 

Otherwise use sewer pipe instead of the flexi and it will be a breeze to pull through.

I was told our electric co was fussy about ducts and it had to be a smooth bore solid wall pipe printed with some standard on the outside (at least for the bit from road to house).

+1 and the DNO do not allow you to run electric through sewer pipe or non approved ducting.

Mine certainly was - I had to search hard to find the larger duct for their three phase cable as only a few places kept it in stock
