Holy crap! I think I can safely say that is one of the worst roofing jobs I have ever seen and that is with over 30 years experience. There are so many things wrong with it I'm not even going to try and list them. Whoever did that work is certainly not a roofer, I doubt they have ever even been on a roof before.
Can I use the photos? They are priceless.

This article explains how a bonding gutter should be fitted. It should sit higher, level with the top of the battens and the tiles/slates should virtually cover it so it is barely visible. No need for mortar flaunching. https://rcimag.co.uk/sandtoft-blog/detailing-the-use-of-bonding-gutters there are plenty of manufacturers details showing how they should be fitted, do some Googling.
The slating is truly dreadful, all those silly little cut slates on both sides is just wrong, some have already fallen out. I suspect the wrong nails were used, look like galvanised, the gaps between slates are irregular, lead soakers along dormer cheek are very gappy etc etc.
Generally it is a really rubbish job done by someone who didn't have the first clue what they were doing so you have to wonder what else is wrong with the rest of the project? I would be paying a professional to inspect the work and prepare a report with a view to legal action against the cowboy.

WTF!!!
There are two types of BG, wet and dry. They've used a wet fella but the mortar fillet should be located on the dedicated textured strip
Only big enough to get your pointing trowel in.
I've blown the photo up as large as I can and I'm not sure they haven't used a GRP valley trough, it's difficult to tell though from that photo.
