Roof tile trim around velux windows?

[jimc-m]

Just wondering if there is an off the shelf option available for the above? This is a pitched roof above my kitchen extension, built about 3 years ago. The tiles around the three velux windows obviously had to be cut to fit. They are 'wavy' profile tiles so I can appreciate that getting them to look neat and uniform was a problem for the roofer. They are water tight (no visible leaks for three years) but I keep thinking that a plastic trim similar to that fitted to gable ends would really neaten them up? Is there such a thing available that can be fitted without having to put screws into the velux surround? These are photos of two of the windows, taken from the bedroom window above. It is only when you look from above they look messy, and I keep looking at them!







Any advice appreciated

There should be foam underneath the cut ends (comes with the velux) so they should be water tight.
I've seen some installations where the cut ends have been pointed up with mortar.

You can't get 'verge cap' type things for Velux windows (well, I've never seen them if you can.)

Thanks Mr Chibs, just wondering about the idea of pointing up the cut ends? Would you advise this as a viable option, and what sort of mortar mix would you suggest please?

No.

Presume you'd just use a standard mix. 4:1 sand:cement not too much water.

Not sure I would bother though... I haven't on mine, and it's never been a bother.
