Dry verge repair

[Memphis]

Wondering if someone could help me with a repair that we need doing on the dry verge of our gable end.
We have a couple of holes under the end caps that probably birds have pecked away along with a few loose dry verge caps. Just wondering if this would be an easy fix and a rough price for repair. Also if this would be an easy fix to do myself.

Couple of pics





Any help would be appreciated.

The holes are the smashed undercloak that they probably did when they fitted the dry verge. You've noticed it now they've come loose. Did they do it off a scaffold removing tiles and extending laths or was it paddy and Murphy drill and wall plugging it off ladders?

If it was the latter I'd sway back to a traditional wet verge with new undercloak.

I personally hate dry verge and will only fit it if the customers throw money at us and beg us to do it.

Cheers for the reply. To be honest we are not sure what they did as we have only recently moved in. What would you advise being the best course of action. Would you just fix the verges back on and maybe full the holes with something?

You'll have to ask a local roofer to see what he thinks mate. Hard to tell.

Ok will do. Any idea of a rough cost for removing the dry verge and going back to mortar for a typical 3 bed house would be?

Those individual ones are crap. The continuous ones are OK and look and perform much better

Or (as my extension) verge tiles with halves where necessary.

Was wondering if anyone thought this was the going rate for the following work.

You need him to put what he is actually doing with the dry verge.
