    They have now ordered a suitable roof tile/collar and internal plate and will organise to come and finish things off properly when they have received them.

    It would be worth checking if they are using a Viesmann part, if they are not check with Viesmann if this affects your warranty

    They've fitted  the new parts. All seems sound and tidy now. Thanks for the help and advice all.

    That’s a lot better, but it should be fixed to the roofing sheet. It needs fixing with self tappers or pop rivets. As with thermal movement of the metal sheeting any silicone sealant they’ve used with fail. That’s why it has a aluminium around the edge for fixings.
    90% there but no coconut. Get back onto them.
