Dry verge recommendations please!

[tgs166507]

I've just moved house, and want to repair the roof verging.
I'm considering upvc dry verging, but haven't used it before.
Can anyone explain how I would retrofit it? I don't think the roof battens extend far enough to fit into them.
How does it detail with the guttering at the eaves?
Photo attached of a small area i plan to tackle first...

If you Google easy verge and there is a YouTube video also I think. Personally you can't beat a decent wet verge. Mixed properly and installed by a good roofer you'll get 10+years use out of it. If your house has any sort of character I'd avoid DV in my opinion.

Thanks for that. That's an interesting suggestion. What do you mean by properly mixed? Do you just mean making sure you get a good strong mix, and make sure all of the old stuff is well raked out?
Unfortunately, as much as I'd love to employ someone to do it for me, I need to do this myself...

More mixing and a better roofer will get 50 years plus! A bit less for interlocking tiles though

Many don't use a mix of sharp (or coarse) sand and building sand.

You need to remove the end tile and one or two in, fix a rigid undercloak (if the current one is no good) and then rebed the tiles on mortar - not repointed. Nail or clip all the tiles down.

An existing undercloak may be asbestos cement. Not too hazardous, but be aware and take precautions.

You may also need to remedy rotten felt and tile battens while you are there.
