This lead flashing looks to have been replaced within the last few years , they have chased it into the brickwork upto 2/3rds of the way up & then i think they must have got stalled & nailed the last 1/3rd with clouts!
Roy Rogers & Trigger me thinks.

Classic

Looks like marine cable that hasn't got enough clips along its length too.

Seems strange to do a job well and then give up............seems a classic case of Rogue client and the roofer got his own back.

that looks terrible - why so many pieces of lead.

im only self taught and realise that its not that hard to.

I'm not going to comment on the lead.

4 got to say is it marine cable? my spark says its 4mm armoured 3 core & apologized about it not being the right colour.

I'm not sure what marine cable is, so it might just be another name for it.

That cable looks like SY Multi flex (flexible armoured cable), we use it quite a bit at our place for connecting to machines that move.

Yes chas. im pretty sure he called it sy, & said to use it as its very flexible & would be user freindly for the Obstacle course it had to get over to get to consumer unit.
Like scruff says, it is a bit handrail,ish..

SY is what we used to call marine cable........clear outer sheaf then armoured. Have only used it for air conditioning as it was on the spec. It is control cable.

SY flex, Great for machines , and temporary jobs, Crap for permanent installs as after a few years in the sun, the outer clear sheath goes opaque and then eventually becomes brittle and falls off. Personally i would have used it for the tricky house bit a then changed to SWA for the exterior part as the black sheath does not suffer from UV radiation as much as the SY flex.
