A tiled roof (1) has a plurality of rows of overlapping roof tiles (2) secured together along the rows in known manner. At the eaves (5) of the roof (1) the edges (10C) of the respective end tiles are covered over by respective edge covers (8). The covers (8) fulfill the functions of joining the adjacent tile rows together and securing the respective rows to the barge board (6) of the roof (1).
Each cover (8) is one tile length long and has a web (14) of diminishing width with an inturned lip (13) along at least one edge thereof with the larger end (16) of one cover (8) of an upper tile row being slidable over the small end (15) of a second cover of a lower tile row to thus secure adjacent covers (8) together. In one embodiment an inturned lip (13A, 13B) is provided along both edges of the web (14) with the bottom lip (13B) engaging in a downturned lip (20) of a rail (17) secured to the plurality of tiling battens (11) and barge board (6). In another embodiment the rail and cover are combined with the cover (8A) having an outwardly directed rail (31) extending from the bottom edge of its web (14A) to be secured to the tiling battens (11) and barge board (6).
