We use cleats on butts and cut angles so they lap and returns using offcuts to create the same profile if you know what I mean

Cleats? What are they?

Butts i spend ages packing to fit snug and silicone an off cut under the joints.

Im trying to find an easier better looking and water tight way.

Thinking nose clips? That could clip the butt joints over the top. Is there a thing?

And external angles we v out the back and if the wall allows bend

Cleats slip I inside the profile and are silicone in place bit like the nosing that you stated but join the profiles internally, phone dbp

Can you use a jointer from fascia/soffit joints sealed in too for your butt joints

Can anyone advise me on how they securely fit verge trims where they go up to the underside of slates?

Doing one at the moment what has had a re-roof. The roofers have used 2x1 slate lath so there is a good 35mm gap between the brick and slates. Plus the cut brick what I need to drill into become loose when drilling the fixing holes. I am having to drill into the slate lath ends when I can find them and using loads of CT1 silicone adhesive at £12 a tube.

Verge trims take a bashing with the weather so I think there is some scope somewhere for a better way of fixing these solid?

Any suggestions?

Put them up at tight as you can on the dry verge use a few 6 mm spit hits and the board up to them and job done.
CT1 **** that

But we have spit hits. The problem is drilling as low down the wing as you can still loosens the top bricks. Screwing into the slate laths work but finding them is a pain.

I was thinking more of some kind of bracket what you fix further down into solid brick then attatch the trim to the bracket. If these verge come loose can can be expensive to go back and put right if you can. I want to get it right first. time.

Board up to the peak and slide the verge trim down the back "ahem"
