Big gust the other night lifted the edge tiles from a section of our
roof. The mortar looks original so really needs re-doing but is there
anything that can be used to somehow clamp the tiles to the underside of
the edge of the roof?

Our next door neighbour has lead flashing folded down over the tiles
presumably to stop this problem. (his is the only house out of the
surrounding 6 or 7 that shows no signs of tile lifting.

can't find anything along the lines of what I'm after, but there must be
something out there.

Cheers
Pete

==================================
They're called '(roof) verge clips' and I think they're matched to
particular tiles. A visit to your local roofing specialist should provide
a solution.

There are verge clips, but theses are only suitable for concrete
interlocking tiles and are made in different sizes to suite different
patterns of tile.
Redland, Marley and Sandtoft tile manufactures all have them.
You will have to order them from a roofing suppliers as a builders merchants
wouldn't even know about them and if they did they would even give you the
wrong type. You will have to know the brand and name of the tile.

To fit them you have to take off the end ridge and tiles. Nail the clips to
each batten at the correct overhang. Re bed the verge, relay the tiles and
pull the clip over two tiles. Then re point the verge and re bed the end
ridge.
There you are, dead simple.

Brilliant Keith.
Thankyou.

Not much chance of finding out which ones I need for the tiles I have I
suppose.

I'll try and get a picture on-line to assist
