    Yes on the 1st picture it looks like the tiles are short of the gutter and the felt doesn’t go into the gutter.
    you might need to get eves support trays fitted, so it needs a ladder up for inspection 
    Plus again it’s not quite clear, but it looks like the window has not been sealed, and with water running down the wall it will blow towards the window head in certain conditions.
    A roofer or good handyman will sort it out.
    A thankyou is payment enough .
  • I did notice water coming through between gutter and fascia
