I use these verges very often and they have made a big improvement in there system over the last few years, they used to be garbage but much better now. Although the fixing kit at the bottom is v v flimsy and the little mettle clip pops out of the socket very easily so I prefer to drive a 100 mm screw with a cap on to fix first verge. Also mention when battening up at the top make sure your nail heads are covered by your end cap as on this video the left hand side one wasnt👍

I suppose times have changed along with regulations, and I'm all for it, it is for the better on most occasions. However me being old skool love the look of a well pointed verge! Nice demo.

Great as usual Roger, please make more videos as they are very informative.

I fit guttering and I'm always been called out to 'guttering leaks' on houses with a dry verge system. The wind drives the rain water under the verge and it streams out the bottom missing the gutter. I normally have to fit a 90 angle and silicone the gap up. NHBC interfering and creating new problems.

Bisby to the rescue again! I thought 'I'll just replace these rotten bits of fascia and soffit' - of course, first thing I find when I get up on the scaffolding is that the mortar at the verge is rubbish and loose. I knew dry verge systems like this existed, now I know everything else about them I need to know. Now to try to source some on a Saturday afternoon...

got this on my new build , no soffit just straight onto render and all you get when its rains is every window cill tap tap tap with water , drives you nuts at night .

Keep up the good work, Roger!

I use these all the time over the old way but for the first cap I drive a dry ridge screw with the rubber seal in about 100mm from the front and also to fix the ridge cap just a better fixing than a nail

Alot easier than being in the pissing down rain and halfway up to heaven eh Roger? Nice vid. You get any footage of a dry ridge system?

Of course the preliminary step is to set out the roof tile rows so that if you are tiling from one verge to another, i.e. with a straight up-and-over roof, you don't need to cut the end tiles to fit - I've seen many jobs where so called roofers have had to cut the opposite verge end tiles and of course then they are difficult to secure and look wrong. As you lay from right to left of course this only affects the left hand verge. On this video, a right hand verge, the interlock channels are on the underside and don't show. The advantage with this Dry fit system is that with Marley tiles, who don't make a specific left hand verge tile, it hides the ugly interlock channels otherwise visible on the upper face left hand edge

Thank you 🙏

Great stuff, ROGER...you are one talented fellow!!!

Damn! You were literally on my door step!!! Great video !!

Mate,,your talking a load of bollox, a bedded gable is far more capable of surviving strong winds than these shitty plastic gable fixing,,I have been a slater over 43 years and I know when a gable I’d bedded on properly from the start it will last as long as the roof without ever pointing,, one more thing, that tacky ridge cap should not be exposing the fixing nail,

Thanks for the video but you should use batten end clips when nailing into the end of battens

when the rain is directed towards the protection from birds, the water will flow there and flow along the wall

Good wee video bought them for my garage build only to find it never came with the fixing kit no bother I thought onto internet to 2 of the big online suppliers (their first on Google's search list). Two different prices by some margin £14 & £8.44 so went for the cheaper get to checkout to discover postage was £75 shocking I thought it was a mistake contacted company no not a mistake comes direct from Marley and they set the postage, outrageous how can they justify such postage I could have hired a taxi to go and pick them up cheaper, to say I'm outraged would be an understatement. By the way the other company wanted £90 postage.

Looks nice and neat. I was up our loft today getting the Christmas tree down and noticed a damp patch on the chipboard floor. Turns out the wind is forcing rain through the tile vent. Do we have to have these things, it's a modern slate type tile vent. They look shite from outside anyway and if these things are letting rain on through the vent I consider them a waste of time.

I wouldn’t call the ridge cap elegant - i think they look cheap and nasty, they also discolour over time , its another skilled job taken away and replaced with “easy”

Can these be used with Marley Lincoln pan tiles?

Will it work on Centurion Concrete Roof Tiles?

Any idea what type of clip is used at the start?

Does a dry Verge comply with fire regulation if you don't have fancier boards

One tile is damaged on mine. How do I change it and where do I buy one or two tiles? Thanks

Do they have to go under each tile as my tiles are cemented in all way along

I desperately need need this system

Why you not recommending batten end fixings

What over lap do u use on 420x280 concrete tile?

I thought you had to put metal clips over the end of the batons to stop them splitting.

Don't like it. My neighbour has got this and it looks like cheap plastic and has gone wavy after several summers + wind, etc. Nice neat mortar edge looks much better.

They are ugly looking and the water runs down the wall between the joints you can buy one piece verge system look good

There's nothing wrong with sand cement if its done correctly with half soft and half sharp sand and cement. It will last longer than this plastic crap in my opinion. There's one thing shilling this dry verge but you shouldn't be saying cemented verge and undercloak isn't any good because it's simply not true. Dry fix ridge is good but I don't like that cheap nasty plastic verge.

Do not like dry verge system. Wet verge looks far better. Too much platic in the world

Do yourself a favour , don’t ever work for this “ company “.

Appalling rubbish.
