Hello, all, I apologize in advance if this isn't the proper place for this. I got a new roof put on in late November, but didn't get a chance to see it for 5 weeks. (Vacation home.) There are solar panels that needed removed and replaced, and that aspect I am happy with.

Here are my concerns, I am wondering if they are misplaced.
1) No drip edge. Installer says there wasn't one originally; I sincerely doubt this, but have no photos to show it. Isn't is customary anyways to install them?
2) Entire roof is wavy. Parts more than wavy. Installer says it'll settle with time in the sun, but it's been six weeks, many of which were over 70 degrees in full sun.
3) The "flat" part with roll instead of shingles was originally shingled. It has a minor slope. And the edge where the house roof meets the porch roof was originally shingled completely over.
4) Close of of roof next to house is where the roof had leaked before; I'm not feeling confident this issue has been solved.
5) The finger picture is how far I can stick my finger in before I actually move (separate) the shingles any.
6) Black caulk???

This is a UK site and most roofs in the UK are covered with slates or concrete tiles, not roofing felt shingles as is predominantly the roof covering in the US.
Roofing felt is typically reserved for sheds in the UK, so you might not be able to get much good advice from this site!
