I've seen this on buildings but can't seem to find it for
sale,
or
know what it is properly called to ask for it or search for it
at
screwfix.
Can anybody help and advise where I can buy it from?

Any electrical wholesaler. No idea what it is called 'some of
that
galvanised cover for exterior cables' works.


Steel capping, usually.
