Thank you so much for this, that looks perfect.
The porch roof is an absolutely shit show. It has some fall, but no guttering. Not helped at all by next door at some point 'repairing' their side but our side not doing theirs at the same time or presumably thinking about the long term viability of it.
Going to suggest to next door at some point that we should re-instate a pitched roof to it with tiles, similar to how it would have been originally. Will fit proper guttering at the same time.

I wouldn't use ct1 flash band and flash band primer would give you longer lasting results. The only thing that would beat it would be proper lead flashing.
While you're up there worth checking that there actually is a fall on the flat roof (should be around 1:10) and that it falls away from the house, I know it's obvious but the number of DIYers that get this wrong is significant. If this isn't the case then the work will be more than you initially thought.
Also with the access towers (decorators platform). Be careful where you hire it from as some hire firms will insist that they see evidence of a PASMA qualification when they drop it off and if you can't do this will take the tower away and keep the cash.
