How would you bridge from brick to gutter? Water drips on wooden fascia (photo)

Hi All, I'm looking to protect my front elevation fascia board from elements with Upvc 9mm cladding.

As you can see in the photo water drops can run from the render onto the fascia board at this specific location.

Im looking to create a "lip" or "bridge" from the render to the gutter. It's even more important if I clad the board because the gutter would be 9mm further out, leaving a bugger gap for water to fall into.

I was thinking of maybe creating a space with an angle grinder under the render and slide lead flashing but unsure how I would attach it.

How would you go about it? Any idea welcome!

Get a length of this:

Cut it like this (with angle grinder or multi tool):

Tuck it under the lead. Try to get at least 30mm in below the lead (a multi tool may help if necessary - but remove timber not lead). Lap into gutter and nail in place with polynails - it it's not long enough (it's 65mm) then just nail a flat piece a bit lower down and overlap with the angled section

I use this for loads of things as it's so cheap and durable - corner and door trim for my garden shed:

I've actually done something fairly similar recently:

Thanks @cdbe thats actually intriguing. At the moment there is no lead however so I'm unsure where you meant the lead flashing should be?

Did you mean I should place it like this and have the plastic function as a flashing in place of the lead?

If yes where would you place the polynails?

Thanks!

I thought that was lead - on top of the wood, under the cement fillet. Nail to face of wood.
