Timloc Dry Verge Eaves Starters – 155 x 105

The Timloc dry verge eaves starter is the component that gets your dry verge system off on the right foot — literally. Fitted at the eaves before the verge units run up the rake, this piece establishes the correct alignment and provides a secure, weatherproof base for the rest of the system. If you have been looking for a cleaner alternative to mortar bedding on profiled tiled roofs, this is where that process begins.

Wet mortar verges have a well-known habit of cracking, spalling, and generally falling apart within a few years, especially on exposed elevations. Replacing them with a dry fix system eliminates that maintenance cycle entirely. No mixing, no pointing, no waiting for the mortar to go off in cold weather. Just clip, fix, and move on.

Where the Timloc Dry Verge Eaves Starter Fits Into the System

This unit is designed to work with Timloc’s dry verge system for profiled interlocking tiles — the kind of concrete or clay tiles you will find on the vast majority of new-build and re-roofing projects across the UK. The eaves starter sits at the bottom of the verge run and provides the seating for the first verge unit. Get this part right and the rest of the run lines up cleanly. Get it wrong and you will be fighting the alignment all the way to the ridge, which is nobody’s idea of a good afternoon.

Each starter measures 155 x 105mm and is manufactured from UV-stabilised uPVC, so it holds its colour and form over the long term without becoming brittle. It is available in four colours — black, brown, grey, and terracotta — to match the most common tile ranges used on UK domestic roofing. That means no mismatched components visible from street level, which matters more than some contractors account for.

A Practical Note on Compliance

Dry fix verge systems are now the specified standard on many new-build contracts and are increasingly called out in local authority planning conditions on re-roofing work. Using the Timloc dry verge eaves starter as part of a complete dry fix installation helps satisfy those requirements while giving a genuinely neater result than traditional mortar work.

Sold individually, making it straightforward to order the exact quantity you need per elevation.
