    the vertical flashing should overlap over the top of the horizontal flashing/roof otherwise water will follow the path of the opening and into the building.

    I suppose that's what they have done. It just looks a bit crap.

    its supposed to overlap by approx 150mm not 15mm and they have not overlapped it, it hanging in mid air. If you feel like DIYing it, buy some flashband  and do it. properly all the way along the wall.
