Recommend me a dry verge

[Moonshine]

On one of the most exposed walls of my house I am getting water ingress, that looks to start at the top, gets behind the render / paint at the top where it meets the tiles, then and into the wall 

The attached image is the verge, which I have taken the paint / render off, which was flaking at the top where it met the tiles acting like a rain funnel. Also of this was easy to get to off as it was coming away anyway

The design of the verge isn't great as the tiles don't fly over the wall edge.

Most dry verge systems I have seen are based on the tiles flying over the wall by some margin

Simply this could be a upside down 'L'  profile shape that overlaps the tiles by a good margin.

Other thing I could drop box a put a batten down the existing masonry section that the dry verge would fit to, this could be a kind of 'C' profile with a longer top to overlap the tiles.

Thoughts?

We used the Kytun aluminium dry verge, which doesn't need much of a projection.  Our roof is "slate", so we used the thinner version, but they do something very similar for tiles: https://www.kytun.com/c/tile-dry-verge/8

Thanks,

 

I have just found the below product, which looks as though it fits the bill as a elongated C on a batten

On looking at that, the profile seems to suggest it needed to go under the battens and more of a product to be fitted when built rather than retrofit

The version we used fits above the battens and under and over the edge of the slates, with a drainage channel to ensure any rain that does flow over the internal edge flows down to the gutter.  Being very thin aluminium, it is fairly easy to fit, although it has to be opened up and sprung over the edge of the slates.

Kytun do retrofit ones as well.  I guess you would need to fix to the render with CT1 plus mechanical fixings (stainless screws?) every 800mm of so.
