Had work done on roof and conservatory and not satisfied as still leaking.

Hi all first time here. Sorry for long post.I recently had some work done. I live in semi detached house and have a chimney on the front and rear of house shared with my neighbour. A roofer came to look and I was quoted £700 cash to repoint myside of both chimneys and to cap and vent my 4 chimney pots off(2 on front and 2 on back), Sort out my flashing on my conservatory as it was leaking and to fit a cover flashing in the wall on my flat roof. I thought it was a good price and they went ahead with the work last week. The chimney work looks good but obviously I can't see it properly from the floor but the conservatory they have only used flashband and the flat roof they have just sealed. They told me they couldn't fit a flashing cover in the wall on the flat roof as the felt on the flat roof curves up so it would pull it out and would not last so best solution was just to sealer along the top and on the conservatory he told me all you could really do was to flashband it, as the wall is rendered with a pebble dash and it should last 15 years plus. I trusted what they told me but now I'm not sure as the conservatory roof is still leaking. I'm going to phone the roofer to ask to put it right but before I do I would just like some help and more information so they can't pull the wool over my eyes so to speak is there any better way of doing work rather than flashband on conservatory and just sealing flat roof along the top.what should I be asking for?cheers for any help.
