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.
