Send the photos to both the window manufacturer and Marley asking if they would guarantee the job, then send the response to the house builder.

If it is done properly there should be no tiles lifted due to the flashing

You don't get tile and a halve for Marley moderns. You need to cut your havles.

I wouldn't use that stuff. Try a liquid rubber, will be more cost effective for the time it lasts.

Thought that myself, sure it was something to do with the cement

You get old Celotex boards that look like this, they were used often in Scotland.

Have you tried contacting Marley?

Unfortunately no

They will not. Have you used cloak verge? If it is marked out correctly you should't need a half tile.

You can replace it with a newer membrane. You could cut the new felt so that you only replace the area that is damaged, just make sure to allow the minimum overlap (which I believe is 100mm on A1 protect)

What's on your roof? Slates or tiles? You could install vents near the bottom of the roof and if you make sure that the ridge is vented you should be good.

If you are doing the extension it would be worthwhile having the roof redone. Would save paying for scaffolding going up in the future etc. Plus you would want your new extension to be properly ventilated.

Only ever clean the tiles by hand, using a hose will not do anything and a pressure washer will do more damage than good.

I've just started to notice it up in Scotland. Looks decent on a big house, especially when done with a black gutter.

Every course for us up in Scotland these days

Can you post a picture of the side of the window to show exactly which kind of flashing kit was used. You should be able to do it from opening the window.

It depends on a few things I suppose. I know in Edinburgh and some listed buildings I've worked on in central Scotland lead is required most of the time.

Lead could be done if it is welded together with an expansion joint. I see it done quite often in Edinburgh.

Yes, nail them. They should be fine but no point risking it. Oh and just in case you never noticed there is 3 broken tails on those tiles.

You can use a Ubbink vent and connect it up with a UB39 adapter. This will keep your roof looking neat. http://www.ubbink.co.uk/products/Roofing/Roof-vents-terminals/Slate/Vepac-Slate-Vents.aspx
