Can you help?

I'm running SWA up the outside of a house and am wondering how best to make it off.
It's going to come from the loft area, to the outside, down the house and then into a brick lean-to where it will be made off on some trunking after 500mm of run inside the lean-to.
Since the armouring needs to...
