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.

What is the cause of black and green stains on my roof?

My neighbour is having an extension and just noticed that part of their ridge roof and flashing is sitting on the edge of my flat roof. Is this allowed or do I need to be having words with them?

How much roughly would it cost to have 3 slates fixed on my roof?

What are asphalt composite shingles and should I purchase some? Can I install this DIY?

A few of our slate tiles have been temporarily fixed by a handyman using some kind of metal hook. How long can we leave these in place before they need a proper fix?

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.

Hi, Having water ingress to upstairs box room via an air brick / vent from the roof. Looks like the roof lining material above the air brick is rotten or broken away and water is coming in around or through the tiles onto what seems to be just a tile on top of the air brick cavity hole. It is then soaking into the wall and entering the box room. There are also a couple of small punctures in the roof lining in that are but further back into the loft a little which also leak. It's almost like the tiles are having no effect. The air vent is troubling as it just has a tile as the top of the cavity ( is that normal?). Would we have to take all the tiles off and reline everything on that side of the roof or can just the bottom tiles and lining be replaced?

What is a green roof? What are its pros and cons? Thanks!
