Flashing and dry ridge for porch

[xdrive]

Hi

I've got a dry ridge kit. Do the ridge tiles need to be screwed down at both the ends?

What's best type flashing along the wall where it slopes. Tiles are double roman.

Will I need soakers too?

Also what's best way to do does flashing over the ridge tile?


Cheers

You need to fix a kick batten on top of the fascia (beneath the felt).

Step flashing on the abutment that is wide enough to pass over the first visible tile profile.

Flashing first then ridge.

Pre drill the ridge ends (away from puncturing the abutment lead) and use a rubber washer.

Sorry don't understand the kick batten part. Do you have a pic of one?

Your first course of tiles hasn't got enough kick, to put it in plane with the tiles above, i.e. you needed a deeper fascia board. To deal with this issue, you can add a say 25mm tile batten to the top of the fascia, to correct the lie of the first course.

I've got a bit of adistance to get over the profile.

Was thinking of gluing a cut profile to this tile. Will be small piece but will give me profile. Or is there a easier method

You could glue a slither, but it will likely break up as you dress the lead down.

Can dress using a template from another tile then just put it in place

However it's been left open like this over winter and no rain has come in so thinking if I just finish on flat part and use a bit of lead mate underneath should be OK

I have done this myself (sacrificial tile), but only with small bits.
If you are flashing using 1.5m (max) lengths, you will find it difficult to replicate the profile, remotely.

Thinking more like something like this so top flashing will not require dressing. Previous post I was talking about dressing the step flashing over the new slither profile.

Now completed. I glued on small pieces to get the profile part next to the adjacent wall. Then did my step flashing on a template tile. Put them on place. And finally added flashing on top and used a lead beater to dress it as best as I could without breaking any tiles. Then used lead mate to fill in the chase in the wall. Also applied patination oil over the lead.

Thanks for the advice @noseall
