Dry Verge Systems
Dry verge systems cap the tiles at a gable end with interlocking units instead of mortar, so the verge cannot crack, wash out or need repointing. Plastic dry verge units clip over the batten ends and fix through into the tile. Finish the run below with ogee fascia board.

Frequently Asked Questions
Mortar at a gable end cracks, washes out and eventually drops tiles, and repointing a verge means scaffolding. Dry verge units clip over the batten ends and screw into the tile, so nothing can wash out. They also close the gap against birds and wind-driven rain without pointing.
They do not have to, but a roofline reads as one line from the ground, so mismatched whites or a grey gutter on a white fascia tend to show. If you are replacing in stages, settle the colour across fascia, soffit, guttering and downpipe at the start rather than matching to what is already up.
9mm board is capping: it is fixed over sound existing timber to smarten the roofline without stripping back. 16mm is the full replacement thickness, strong enough to carry the guttering on its own once the old timber is off. If the timber behind is soft or rotten, capping over it only hides the problem.
