a query about flashing where the gable end meets a flat wall, ie. stepped flashing.
there is a video here

showing how to sut the steps to go into the bricks, but it says nothing about soakers. maybe they are there but not visible.
on the other hand, some house round here seem to have no soaker, but the stepped flashing simply bends at 90 degrees to cover the roof tiles.
when do you use this one-piece type and when do you use soakers as well?
