What's the term I'm after...?
 

Looking at the edge of a house roof. There's mortar along the edge of the
tiles (or, rather, there's some mortar left...). Under the tiles, there's
some sort of odd thin board stuff covering the underside of the return,
going along to the facia board.

I'm going to have to replace the facia, and re-mortar the edge of the
tiles, but wth am I after for the bit under the tiles?

Possibly asbestos based soffit board, cover it with uPVC soffit, then
the 'L' edge of the uPVC fascia will cover the join, wear a dustmask
while screwing into the old soffit (white screw cups/heads quite
inconspicuous from ground level).

Look at dry verge systems before you decide to replace the stuff.

Some of those look quite ugly compared to just repairing the cement ...

Yup - those shoe-box sized clip-on Lego bricks look horrible. Is there
really no flexible, UV-resistant (and cheap) alternative to mortar? That
always cracks after a few years.

AFAIK that's called undercloaking. Not 100%

Sounds like Harry Potter's shreddies...

Yep - it's the exact thing I'm thinking of.

It's called 'undercloaking' in the trade, and is fibre re-inforced cement
about 150 mm wide and comes in various lengths

Except, I'm not sure I correctly understood what you meant ... It might
still be asbestos, or offcuts of slate, or something completely different!

The undercloaking is the boy.

today it won't be asbestos, but a glass (usually) reinforced cement board.
