mortar alternative in roof

wpd · 23-01-2021 5:16pm #1

some mortar has come away from edge of tiles in roof

i had a roofer fix something similar a few years ago and he had a black tar like compound he used instead of mortar, it was almost like soft tarmac

would anyone know what this stuff is called and where it can be bought??
I am not confident mortar would harden in these temperatures and want to fix roof before rain comes back

its the end bit of the extension under the tiles

look into a dry verge system
