Ok the machine mart one is rated up to 3120 not 3600 maybe it's the 3m cable needed?A cable stored on a reel is no problem at all, in fact it's much easier to manage if you ask me - the problem is if you pull high current and the cable is all wound round the reel it can cause a fire. If you unreel the whole length it's fine.
Have a search for 2.5mm extension cable. A couple I found: https://www.sibbons.co.uk/product/25m-240v-13amp-open-cable-reel-2-5mm-8050/ £53 on idea on delivery or https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/clarke-ccr26-4-socket-25m-2-52mm-cable-reel-w/ £70 but you may have a shop close by? I have not used either companies or reels but both say they are using 2.5mm cable. You can just buy 2.5mm cable and a rubber plug and socket but getting 2.5mm cable into a plug and socket is not that easy as it's thick plus then you have to manually coil it up and that's probably a bit messy on gutter jobs.
Reels are great as long as you always unreel all the cable before use!
