Is there any kind of trunking/conduit/whatever that I can fix to
the (brick) wall to take the cables and tidy things up? It would
need to be around 15m long and accept internal and external corners.

Er, conduit? Screwfix, Toolstation, etc. For that sort of length, it
will be neater to use the "proper" stuff.

I had seen conduit but wondered if there was any sort of specialised
product.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'proper' stuff.

Trying to further my education here.

Sorry, as others have already said I thought you might have seen and
been thinking of the white rectangular trunking with clip-on lids that
you find in sheds and hardware shops. It's meant for indoor use so is
not very well UV stabilised. Round conduit is available in metal or
plastic (also in corrugated plastic which can be handy if you have an
awkward bit of geometry) but the plastic should be OK outside. There
are various corner bits and "junction boxes", some with removable lids
to make threading easier. I havn't checked what range of stuff is
available from SF or TS.

there's always galvanised steel trunking.

Overkill for this application. The "ordinary" wall-mount stuff is
normally only used inside since the cover is not sealed. Much more
expensive than round plastic conduit.

You can slide trunking under existing cables, with conduit you need to
start again.
