Thanks

Didint need to water proof joint. It's basically a z shapped lead flashing on one side and an inverted c on the other. I used butchers paper to waterproof the ply on the roof, then lnstalled the flashing then installed the roofing tiles.

No leaks so far but it's only been sealed for a couple of months.

There's a very good book with some of these detail called " how to build a roll off roof observatory" in the Patrick Moore series. I got the lead flashing idea from there.
