Don't put pvc conduit back on that. It looks amateur to begin with and looks even worse after a year or 2 of weather. If you are absolutley insistent on using conduit use steel, can be painted black to match the gate and lasts far longer than black pvc conduit
You can get a threaded lid for steel conduit, you could put an end box on and thread it straight into the lid, although 10mm t and e is going to be awkward no matter which way you do it. I believe hammerite will take to galvanised metal but I stand to be corrected.It was put in place as a temporary measure as we needed a cable to feed the garage. I will look at steel conduit. I don’t own a bending machine and I would image a 90 would be hard to pull 10mm T&E in.
I was thinking End box from the house, down into another end box and then see if I can find something with a thread on that I can have a straight piece for across the gate. Then another angle box straight across into the last end box into the garage.
I’ve never painted steel conduit. Would any metal paint do? Or is there a specific type that is needed?
As I say I’m open to suggestions with steel conduit.

That's a 20mm but they are available in 25mm also. Not sure I'd buy with this company though, pretty poor experiences with them.
If you are insistent on not burying get a few lengths of 25mm galv tube and the appropriate fittings in con lock you won’t need a bender of dia set thenIt was put in place as a temporary measure as we needed a cable to feed the garage.

Cef Hyton stocks it basically it it conduit box’s and bends with a Alan key to lock in place and not threadedI know what you mean about burying the cable. It would be a bit of hassle trying to lift up the blocks as they’ve been cemented in. I’ve not heard of con lock. Where would be the best place to get it from?

Search "conlok" in Google or any other reputable search engine and lots of UK results will be returned.
It may be that individual CEF branches stock the stuff, but it's not listed on their website.
Cef Hyton Liverpool definitely stock it we use it quite regularly for adaptions and they stock it for usI’ve done that. I’m a bit dubious of some of the sites.
Can't see Conlok lasting long floating above the gate. Threaded for me every time.
