Hi. Can someone tell me what the concrete edging is at the edge of my roof tiles. it is crumbling in some places and bits have fell off, including one rather large brick size piece. The house is only six years old and it looks very unsightly.

It sounds like a Friday verge to me lol!!
A house 6 years old? And its crumbling already?!!
(what house builder was it again?)
Just get the DRY VERGE SYSTEM fitted for a small cost, Once done it'll never have to be done again in the homes lifetime.
SIMPLES!!

Without a picture it's difficult to say what went wrong exactly.
The verge is likely to have been bedded then pointed in two seperate operations, which is not good. This will show it's self by a skim of muck falling out first, often exposing the batten ends which may be to long.
Very likely the undercloak had not been damped down before the verge was bedded up. this will cause the muck not to bond to the undercloak in dry weather. Or could be bad gauging of muck, or roof settling if the under cloak is on brickwork as the weight of the roof settles the verge will stay where it is and possibly crack up.
Do you have a picture?
