Those are much more than 6" long.

I don't know why these drawer runners and wall-starters are even being
suggested, given it was a new roof job didn't involve either!

You only said it was a new roof job later.

What sort of roof ? If its tiles etc almost certainly
they are what is used to keep the tiles etc stacked
properly on the pallets they came on.

Fair point.

Pretty conventional in the main. Replacing old red clay tiles with new

Seems the most likely suggestion thus far.

Shelf supports?

They'd never be strong enough! Far too easily bent with the fingers
alone. Here's the same item from some other angles:

Perfectly strong enough for shelf supports,you find such stuff inside
metal cabinets, If I get time I might,take a photo.

recently those are anything to do with it

And shouldn't be hard to check by checking
other houses being re roofed and see what
is in the pallets of tiles not yet laid.

Somebody had used these drawer runner parts to bodge something on the
old roof.

Pretty conventional in the main. Replacing old red clay tiles with new
grey concrete ones, together with a 'dry ridge and hip system' for the
angled bits.

I hope your builders followed the manufacturers installation
instructions to the letter. Our resident ex-tv aerial installer says
he has seen some awful examples of bad workmanship.

At least with conventional ridge and hip tiles, bedded in the
correct mortar mix, a bad job is still obvious from the
ground using binoculars. Dry-fit ridge systems hide the important
detail from the eye, even if you were up on the roof.

If its tiles etc almost certainly
they are what is used to keep the tiles etc stacked
properly on the pallets they came on.

Seems the most likely suggestion thus far.
