What I'm looking for is something that can be used as a miniature
gutter to direct water from the edge of an object towards somewhere
more appropriate for it to end up.

A simple round bottomed 'j' section that's about 25mm wide across the
bottom and at least 30mm high would be perfect. The length needs to be
about 3 metres. It needs to be weatherproof, so white plastic or
extruded aluminium would seem like promising materials.

I had hoped that the local DIY sheds might have had something, I also
tried a specialist in PVC cladding materials.

Does anybody have a suggestion where such a profile can be readily
obtained ?

=================
A standard 'edge trim' for cladding / sofit board has 3 sides of a rectangle
with arms about 30mm / 25mm with a width of 15mm but the base will be flat
rather than rounded. Does that sound anything like what you want? Failing
that, you might be able to cut a piece of oval electrical trunking to size -
it looks a bit like a slightly flattened egg.

Get a length of rectangular PVC section (like screwfix ducting 14118) and
cut it carefully down the two wider sides? This should create 2x J
sections, albeit with a flat bottomed channel. Or squareform PVC
downpipe?

Just a thought.... )

Split a length of 22mm copper tube and beat one side flat?

Would a length of Square PVC Trunking do the job? Trunking comes in a lot
of sizes and is easily cut to shape with a strong pair of scissors or a
modelling knife. It's light weight, weather proof, water proof and strong.
You can also get shaped corners and covers if needs be.

Example:

which can be cut easily to the 25 mm wall height you need on one side.
