Incorrectly installed bargeboard flashing

[Strid]

Had a company that installed a new roof for us. Just discovered that the verge flashing is not bent down in the valley of the tiles. That can't be done correctly, can it?

Something looks very crooked if you compare how the sheet metal lies against the tiles closest to the camera and further up on the roof.

Really. I'm starting to wonder if it's the tiles that aren't positioned correctly. It looks the same on the other side. It feels like there's quite a big risk of water getting in there by the ridge tiles.

The company that did the roof explains that if the subroof is uneven, it can turn out like that sometimes. But the thing is, it didn't look like that when the old tiles were there. So I don't quite buy that. What do you think is the most appropriate action?

Measure the distance between the bargeboard-bargeboard both at the top and bottom, to determine if it is truly crooked......

That brick has a groove so it cannot change the total lateral measurements, however, your old brick might have been more forgiving and could be laid closer together or with slightly larger distances between them.

There are different sizes of sheet metal, maybe you could ask them to switch to another sheet that fits better?

Absolutely, that seems like the best thing to do. The most important thing is that the sheet metal covers properly down towards the valley in the tile.

It is important that the bargeboard sheet slopes downward from the bargeboard toward the concrete tiles, otherwise moisture and condensation under the sheet will kill the bargeboard.

Thank you for your answers!

But what happens further up on the roof where the sheet metal only reaches up to a ridge, should the sheet metal have different widths?
Tile roofs are never tight, it's the underlayment that is tight.

But how does it work further up on the roof where the sheet metal only reaches up to a ridge, should the sheet metal have different widths?

The water that flows down from the ridge tiles is stopped by a sealing strip against the next tile, directing the water towards the regular tiles. This should also apply to the last ridge tile.
