what can I do to fix it and how can I prove it. These builders are hell bent on finishing and sodding off. I have had so many arguments with them over this, they're threatening to walk off site and not come back. (half of me will be happy, but the other half is not)

they cemented it first, then plaster

I'll pop and take a look. they have already skimmed the whole lot as they are working super fast to get out of here. The wiring.... yea... that's another sore point. The electrician is suppose to be sorting it out any comments on the other two pics ?

Thanks for the responses. I appreciate your feedback. He is not my roofer. I was new to the area and my brother recommended this builder as "top notch". I found other issues with some of his work and we left on pretty bad terms about two months after the roof was done. This was not leaking...

Hi Everyone Please can someone give me some advice. I had a cowboy fit a flat roof for me last year. All is well until it started leaking last week. It looks like some brick has eroded away and water is getting in. ON doing research, I don't think this roof is installed properly. It looks...
