The back extension on this property was poorly finished by previous owners. There was a large capping board held down with spray foam which had started coming loose, along with flashband tape at the top apex wall where a leak had developed.
Both have been removed and temporarily covered with felt, but a permanent fix is needed soon.
One complication is that the back section is not square — there is around 30cm of run-out at the top, meaning tiles cannot sit square or flush with the verge end.
The tiles also appear quite brittle, so replacement may be necessary?
Options:
- Extra timber/lead work/wide capping board to cover the triangle section?
- Wet verge, but tiles won't be at all neat at the ends?
Any advice welcome!
