Slate verge option?

[Barryscotland]

 

Roofer has turned up and started grading and holing our slate but has said that he doesn't want to cement the verge as the cut slate wont get much of a grip and has asked me to source him some sort of plastic dry verge. Our PVC  Fascias are already fitted up the verge so can anybody suggest an option that is readily available and wont look Knaff?  Only thing I can see is continuous dry verge and nobody stocks it.

We used compriband between the slates and fascia. Tho, we are using render board and was fitted after the roof was slated.

The continuous dry verge is a good product.  Just a matter of ringing round to see who has any in stock.

You may be able to make it out on this photo, but it's blends in with the slates and is needed for us to stop wind blown rain going under the slate at the gable ends (we are in the Hebrides). It's been up about three years now and looks the same as the day it was installed.

 

I went with thick heavies cupa slates and at some points the dry verge is holding three layers, therefore might be a squeeze but it worked for us. When the scaffold was up you could see wee bumps when next to it but when standing at the ground that is not visible.

Verge with no undercloaks or dry verge systems for me, I like 45 degree cuts to the bottom outside edges of slates. No water should be able to track into structure
