Re-bedding Verges

[steveoelliott]

HI Folks,

 

I find myself in a seemingly rather unfortunate situation where I was going to have one my verges re-bedded today but after removing some of the tiles and mortar from the verge, the decision was taken that it was too dangerous owing to access and the roof being slippy (due to recent rain). The tiles have been relayed but of course there is no mortar covering the edge of some of the verge.

 

With rain forecast later and potentially snow over the weekend, is this likely to present any issues?

 

Thanks...

I like to nail a length of renderers angle bead to the ends of the roofing battens,the Mortor will cling to this and I found the verge Mortor lasts a lot longer.

Thanks... I should have said it is not me personally doing the job, I have a local roofer doing it on my behalf. Sounds like a good idea though. The main guy from the roofing firm has said he'll come back next week to do it as the access was difficult, he will need to work from the roof.

 

There is a lean too pitch roof not shown in the picture that I agree does make access rather hairy.

Also folks... excuse my ignorance and out of curiosity, what is the name given to those 3 grey slabs that sit on the edge of the roof right by where the gutter ends are?
