Dry verges
Lots of modern houses (and new rooves on old houses) have dry verges, such as this house. The verge of a roof is the section of detailing along the top of the gable end, to create a seamless join where the wall meets the roof. A dry verge is a series of usually plastic edging pieces fixing the edge of the roof down.
A dry verge is a very economical way of doing a verge as it saves the need for wet trades (mortar). It is very quick to install with some systems requiring a few screws, whilst others simply clip in place. This is in comparison to the typical way of installing a verge with pointing, bargeboard (sometimes) and undercloaking.
However, dry verge does have a distinct disadvantage of being weak against strong winds, with sections being prone to snapping off. On this house the dry verge has been repaired at least 3 times and there is another piece next to the ridge which requires re-clipping. This gable end faces south west, which is the direction of the prevailing wind in most of the UK, which will likely explain this.
