Repointing gable end, but with extra problem

[benners66]

Hi all.
I have the same problem appearing on all corners of my house (chalet bungalow).
At the bottom of the roof line, where it meets the wall, the corner section (the end of the soffit/fascia) has fallen away.
It was a rendered section of block & old timber, now leaving an open end of the fascia/soffit.
Because of this, in a couple of points, the tiles have slipped slightly.

Gable end problem

I was planning on doing a white upvc boxing to match the fascia etc, to close it all in, but I'm not sure if I need to provide support to the bottom of the tiles. If so, then a lightweight box won't do this.

Any one got any thoughts on the best method to fix this?

Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated. I'm a bit lost on this one.

u need to put an under cloaking under the tiles and point with cement

Ah, so then I can box in with a lightweight upvc box, and not need to support the tiles. Never knew that existed.

To rake out, fit undercloaking strip and re-mortar one roof edge, assuming no problem bits what sort of price would I be looking at as a rough estimate?

Cheers

Ben

What you have there is a standard cement verge/cloak/soffit detail (i.e. no timber barge board and soffit box) therefore you either requre a concrete kneeler or a corbeled brick overhang to stop off the soffit end
