You cannot get white Siamese for external use,the only white Siamese you can get is used mostly in blocks of flats where all the connections run from a internal DP to a flat thru conduit or cielings.I dont think you can get it rom anywhere,even when I was an NTL installer,we could not get it (would've been ideal for internal cable runs,so much quicker than running 2 seperate cables!) for love nor money.
As zeph stated you are not allowed to touch it yourself,I would get the crew back to re-run it either by moving it to floor level & putting a cement fillet over it or to bury it under the flags or by cutting a track in the concrete & filling in,all along the front of the house...(sorry but I dont know what the run looks like so I've given you some options)
Or you could paint it.
