missing tiles on the roof

[LLL]

Can anyone tell me what this is called? 

It seems the parts (seems plastic?) at the size of the roof are missing and it is leaking a bit (the chimney side, I can see the sky inside), it is something I can fix and what is it called? 

 

Also seems there is a tile on the top of the roof missing but i did not see a leakage, is it something i should repair asap?

 

thanks

That is a plastic dry verge and concrete ridge tiles.  The biggest issue is safe access.

The concrete one must be down by someone professorial. I should be able to access the black plastic one at side by using leaders, it is something nails used to connect with the roof?

 is it something I should go through the home insurance?

Use your home insurance and let them send a roofing contractor round.

I always have one question, if there is something existing in the house before i bought the insurance, for example, some issues existing long time but i never noticed until recently, will the insurance company will deal with it?

You are mistaken.

 

These issues probably happened AFTER you took out the insurance. I am sure you just have very bad memory......
