Adhoc Torch on Felt
I had a roofer inspect a flat roof a couple of months ago, who then made some patch repairs using torch on felt. Another roofer cam to quote for a replacement roof today and said the felt hadn't been torched on properly and water had got underneath the add on section. The felt could be lifted up without much effort and some of the edges on the felt underneath seemed to be peeling away. He then recommended I remove all of the add on felt as this was far worse than just having the felt below it. First of all, how bad of a job is this and secondly, is this likely to have caused any major damage in two months given we've been having a lot of rain? I appreciate any answers and you taking the time to respond.

How to repair roof felt from inside loft
I’ve spotted a tear in the felt while up in the loft. Is it possible to patch this from the inside or do the tiles need to come off?
Neighbour reroof unfinished joining mine
My neighbour has just had a new roof but upon looking from the outside and inside, it doesn’t seem to have been finished off. I have masses of daylight coming through the gap and is now a wind trap. There is a gap of which I estimate to be about 5 cm between where our tiles finish and from what I can see there isn’t a bonding gutter either. It also looks like they have used some kind of foam on their side to keep the tiles in place and create a ‘seal’ for them but nothing on mine. My roof was sound before this and I would have thought that it would be the responsibility of the roofer/neighbour to ensure that my roof would be left in tact and not open to the elements. I do have pictures from Inside the loft.
