battens should be 2" from edge of the under cloke strip, use a lot more muck and nail as you go. I also used to use PVA in the mix which hardens off the mortar and extends the lifespan.
On a slate roof the best way is to slate the verge in completely and once slated then push the cement in on the verge. But do not put cement in the tails of the slate. Just the bit from undercloak to underside of slate.
@@anthonymclean9743 a thin ally 38mm possibly. Only reason I don’t nail the verge tile is because if one ever broke then it would be extremely hard to repair. Repairing verge tiles is always abit of a pain.
Why haven’t all the edge tiles been nailed as you go & mucked in to half the width of the tile? Also, battens could do with a string line on them, apart from that 👍🏻😂
I don’t like nailing the tiles as I think if a verge tile ever broke would be impossible to repair without damaging the whole verge. Thanks for the comment 👌🏽👍🏼
@@roofinguk appreciate the comment bud. If a tile broke then it would need rebedding across 3 tiles anyway surely so no problem with nails? I’m not here to dig you out mate, there’s a lot of people in the comments and everybody does it slightly differently. Love the content you put up 👍🏻
@@roofinguk you should be doing a fixing specification on your jobs for each area, you need to fix the perimeters there more likely to break not fixed.
@@jwconstruction378 I get big jobs with lots of detailing. I love doing these roofs, keeps my brain busy. I like to think I take pride in my work. We all work in different ways.

Nice got my 1st one to do tomorow
WOW never knew that’s how it was done👍🏻👌🏻
Thankyou. Hope it helps.
This is the best video on the subject. Does the same principle apply to slate roofs? Or just use a plastic dry verge strip instead of mortar?

Not best video at all. Should be nailing the verge.
you should nail every tile and gable with an ally
You should yes but it won’t make a massive difference.
Think I'd be tempted to put a thin gauge stainless screw in has i work up the gable.

@@anthonymclean9743 never screw slate or tiles EVER
Sausage on the roof Sausage for breakfast and job done he he
Good job
Perfect technique 😂
Is there a way you’d do this different? Back bed the tiles?
@@roofingukHe's gone all quiet mate you caught him tripping on his own BS 😂

They are not bedded enough, you have gaps,

Cement mix far too strong this will shrink and crack, why are you not fixing your tiles with Ali nails ??? We can all comment on people's work eh.
3 in 1 mix always for verges and ridges 👌🏽👌🏽. We are roofers, it’s what we do. 😂😂 🔨
@@roofinguk where are your fixings ?
@@jwconstruction378 I don’t nail the verge tiles for the main reason I think it would be impossible to replace a verge tile if one broke.

Too much cement in the mix that will crack over time
It’s a 3 in 1 mix. I always use a small nail bucket to gauge my mixes. Appreciate the comment. 👌🏽
Stop using your hands and get a good trowl to point with !
I’m not pointing with my hands Rick. I thought the finish was tidy, don’t you?
Don’t bite
Brush🤮🤮
I brush as I like the way it looks. As long as the finish product looks good at the end. 👌🏽. Appreciate the comment.
