Hi I have had this flashing installed today by a local company and I am concerned that it has been installed incorrectly as well as looking very messy. However I have no experience so could somebody please advise? I had asked for it to replaced due to a leakage and showed the company my neighbours roof which looks like the second image which is nothing like the job they have done! Thank you in advance.
Has this flashing been installed correctly please?

Can’t see any flashing in second image , only a tree?
your flashing looks messy as you say but it will work.
you show the neighbours vertical tile hanging at a vertical abutment but on your roof your flashing is at an abutment meeting pitched roof tiles. different animals.
the lengths of cover flashing are covering lead soakers under each plain tile course, thats correct - assuming the flashing is lipped into a 25mm deep channel cut in the abutment dashed brick.
theres a few other things in your photo if your intereted?
where the flashing and bottom course of tile meet the gutter you should have a "kick-out". google or utube it.

Looks like the edge of the roof is wavy so doesn't follow the straight edge of the flashing, hence some of the soakers are more exposed than others.
That said it is the correct placement of the soakers under the tiles that prevents the water leaking under the tiles.
All appears ok as other have said but impossible to be definitive without removing the tiles.
