Dry verge tiles overhang big gap to bargeboard

[icewinder]

I live in a detached property and the motar is perished in both gable ends between tile and bargeboard. The problem I have is, the tiles curved roof tiles overhang the wood bargeboard by a good few inches.

How do you get over this with dry verge that wont sit flash to the bargeboard ?. Theres a big gap between the bottom of the dry verge and bargeboard. Any wind would whip them off in minutes once it get under the gap.

Do you have to add timber to the bargeboard or is their a dry verge system that overcomes this ?. I'm getting to the point of just pulling out the motar and redoing it all. If I do do you decide to re-point whats the best mix
builders sand+cement
or
builders+sharp+cement with feb ?.

any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you

You cut the tiles to the appropriate overhang.

Was that not obvious??

Hi thank you for your reply but I'm not a roofer or it would as you say it would be obvious.

I asked just incase there's a system that deals with this issue as it must be a common problem roofers face

Normally the verge tiles are stripped out and new tile battens fitted to accommodate a dry verge system. More often than not the ends of the battens are rotten. Tiles are trimmed back to suit.

If you are going to have that problem then forget it and use sand and cement, those plastic things are rubbish.

So are you saying lose a row of roof tiles both sides then pack it out with batons ?

If you want a dry verge then consider a continuous type, not individual. You'll still need to trim the tiles to suit, and may not need to replace rotten batten ends, just trim them.

Try Remix if you are not sure .you will not go too far wrong with this.

NO! trim the tiles to work into the dry verge units.
