Default Securing tarp between flat roof and house?

Damn weather! Weeks and weeks of arid hotness and the minute I decide
to rip the roof up... it p****s down!

Bog standard situation... rear extension to terraced house; flat roof
(slight fall to front); 17sqm; soil stack bang in the middle of rear
wall.

Just curious as to methods of securing a tarpaulin at the rear of the
flat roof (where it abuts the house wall)?

Existing flashing fell out, so not there to tuck the tarp under.

It's not for a long period (crosses fingers in hope)!

Anything quicker and easier than plug'n'screwed battens?

Anything that won't mark the paint on the wall?

Water proof duct tape?

A pair of eye bolts in the wall with a tensioned wire between them. That
will take the mechanical stress then you can look at temporary
weatherproofing of the joint to the wall if reqd.
