I live in a close of 70's houses on the south coast. All of them had the roof verges bedded in mortar. By virtue of position, mine is vulnerable to the prevailing SW wind. Currently, the flashing around the ridge tiles needs to be replaced - Photo 1. Apart from that, the verge, on the gable facing the SW, had two repairs in the past after tiles moved. The first used straps, but these failed lower down later on and the proper clips were fitted there - Photo 2. The first repair seemed to raise the righthand edge of the tiles slightly and an adjacent tile was blown off in a gale when the wind shifted to SE - Photo 3. For information, Photo 4 shows the verge on the other gable with tiles removed.
I think gales are going to get worse and the state of the tiles on and and around the SW verge makes me nervous. What are my best options here please? A dry ridge and dry verge have been suggested.
