Morning
A newish roofing company (Dec 2019) in Newcastle has refelted an extension flat roof for me yesterday and says guaranteed for 10 years. There is water collecting in same place as before. Would like advice on if this is normal? And what paperwork I should ask for the guarantee?

Old roof had bubbling / blistering and water collecting in exactly the same area. I've had the house 10 months and surveyor had advised replacement. I got in touch with this company as they were doing other houses on my street. I asked for it to be converted to pitched and for review of additional insulation. They advised given current costs of timber just to replace the felt.
They've done:
-replaced some flat timbers? But not sure they checked the supports or insulation. I think they laid new over old??
- 3 layer replacement of felt. Their description: "should last 10+ years! We use commercial felt it's 3 layer system ( 1 liquid binder, 1 waterproofing, 1 cap sheet which gives you the finish)"
-offering 10 year guarantee though not sure what this is worth with a new company. The company is bd roofing in Newcastle incorporated Dec 2019.
Roofers were lovely but feeling some pressure from the company director to let this go because he has bills to pay. He said it is is normal for water to sit and collect before it drains into gutters.
Appreciate any advice. Thanks!
