Your builder is no longer on site you say, tbh there never was one by the look of it.

I wouldn't know where to begin explaining how to rectify that mess without being there myself, there could be a lot more than meets the eye, can of worms etc.

The best advice I can give is get a professional in.

Presumably a new party wall has been built up? This wall should be built up higher than it is so that the new roof battens can sit on the wall, instead of floating like they are now.

More like this:


Then a lead flashing can be dressed up the face of the wall and tucked under your new roofing membrane.
 
You are asking a lot to get to that stage and ask for help off a web site.
 
Agreed, the wall should have been built up higher, (which i will have to do.)
However the roof pitches do not match, and I cannot say for certain that i will get the minimum height difference of 75mm...

Also, my neighbor doesn't want any part of his roof affected, so how will i add the flashing onto his roof?

Just slap it on, and then cement it in (without him noticing?)

Oh god they've really ****ed me up here!

The builder was kicked off the site due to "quality issues" i'm sure you can see what i mean.
 
Sorry for my late reply, I was working away...

So I hould cement it as best I can,, and pray it doesn't leak?
