After some insight as to how this part of a job can be rectified as the current roofers on the job are advising that this is how the roof will look due to to there being no additional baton next to the dormer. There are actually some issues identified which is being pursued when the dormer was put in less than 10 years ago rafters not secured, extremely bad sistering of rafters resulting in a dipped roof, non compliant insulation in roof void space etc. So the roofer brought in in addition to me arranging the local authority building control was carrying out the remedial works. Works started off OK until they got to the initial roof repair part that I initially brought them in for. Roof originally looked bad in this verge area before the reroof but now the repair has been undertaken it still looks aesthetically bad. Roofer said the gable wall is not straight also impacting the aesthetic but says that there was only one fixing on the wall when there should have been two. I have the video of the removal process exposing the original bodge from the dormer installation hower what I cannot work out is whether the roofer should have undertaken something else to rectify and try and align the tiles alot better. Photo with scaffolding is the new verge and the photo without scaffolding is the old tiles and verge. Bottom left shows the kickout

Looking some guidance for the verges on my roof. I am hoping to use the Kytun dry verge trims which a number here have used already @dogman @Barney12 @JSHarris. I am trying to work out how these should be installed in relation to tile battens. We don't have any fascia and soffit with the hope being that we would render gable ends up to the underside of the kytun trim. Any installation guidance I have seen shows the trims installed on top of the tile battens, which is fine if then fitting a fascia board. In my case this would leave the gable walls with visible battens and then the tile trim. How should this be detailed to allow for rendering gables? Thanks in advance.
