Vertical tiling junction with roof verge - Sussex cutting

Fix an additional batten onto the face of the vertical tiling battens and parallel to the verge to allow fixing of cut tiles.
Form raking cuts using tile-and-a-half tiles as necessary.
Fix the edge tile close to the undercloak/soffit, securing by spot bedding and double nailing into the raking batten.

Soldier Course

Vertical tiling beneath verges less than 35° roof pitch can be weathered by nailing a soldier course of eaves tiles to a raking batten fixed close to the undercloak/soffit. The raking batten should be positioned to allow the tiles to hang properly on their nibs.Spot bedding is recommended to prevent wind  damage.
A cover flashing can be used to provide extra weathering over the soldier course tiles’ nailholes and to the apex.
