dry verge

[jrob1]

If the verge as morter in, does that need breaking out to fix the dry verge, with screws, then clip in?

 

[noseall]

yes, and sometimes the lathes need extending too.

can be a big job.

You do have to remove the morter first and you will find the battens are normally cut flush with the wall, you can buy plastic exstender which go over your batten and you ajust to the disired lenght, about £1.50 each, better than having to cut the batten back to the next truss and putting a new piece in! or you can get Mr ***** to just nail though the morter to the end of your batten with big nails,garrented to last till the winter if your lucky!

Have you a link to those plastic batten extenders, we've never heard of those and they may come in useful in the future.

I'm not 100% here but Marley do their Dry Verge in a 'Refurbishment' kit and I believe it contains something to extend the battens

That must be one of the only Marley Eternit products that aren't mentioned in the hundreds of bloody brochures we get sent a month from them! lol

This is from the Marley Eternit Refurbishment Dry Verge

 

[JohnD]

is that being screwed onto the end of the batten, so you have to take off a couple of slates and turn back the felt?

 

[Roofer]

The Dry Verge is for concrete tiles which are easy to remove rather than slates; the felt is under the battens so would not need to be folded back
