Virgin Media 'shotgun' combo RF & Telephone cable

Can anyone tell me where I can buy some of the combined RF (RG59 ?) and telephone cable that Virgin Media use externally (AKA shotgun cable)?
My VM feed cable currently crosses a piece of grass which is soon to be excavated for building works, meaning that the VM cable needs to be extended around the area.
I understand from some internet trawling that Virgin usually won't come out to modify an existing installation, therefore i'll replace it myself.
As both ends are accessible, I just need the appropriate cable, but can't find it available yet. Can anyone point me to a supplier?
The alternative is to install separate RF and telephone cables - anyone know the RF type used?

Just google it, there's loads of places you can buy RG59/RG6 or WF100 coax cable.0

I would doubt that its RG59, more likely to be RG11. I think you will need to bite the bullet and speak to VM.
