Hi Guys,

I have a shed with a roof that is against a standalone wall - it's not a traditional gable roof ( where you have ridge tiles in the middle ).
The roof is raised at one end and that's it.
I want to stop water from getting in to the corner of the top of the roof - please see the pictures below.
I don't think I can use traditional semi-circle ridge tiles as they may not sit properly.
The back of the wall is made of breeze blocks as are the sides.
The roof tiles at the very top have only had cement poorly put on the back corners and the sides to stop water getting in which I feel isn't enough ( cement has been put along the sides as well where the tiles meet the top breeze block walls - see pics )
Any advice on the following would be greatly appreciated:
1) ridge-tile alternatives and also on suitable flashing / adhesives - please see first picture below - the area that will require protecting is the "corner of the roof where it meets back wall".
2) Also how to join these alternatives to the top tiles and the back breeze block wall without cracking the tiles.

They make mono ridges and they do a dry verge profile for different tiles.
