Roofing

I’m think I may have been done over by my roofer.

Some water stains appeared in my back bedroom, so I got a couple of guys roofers to have a look, one was completely unintelligible and the other seemed to know the right lingo. So he said my flashing and guttering needed replacing, in he sent some photos and the guttering did look a mess most of the flashing looked ok to me apart from a bit round the chimney. He quoted 1200 to remove and replace the lead flashing front and back as well as replace the guttering. It a small 2 up 2 down so not a lot of flashing really. Anyway when finished he sent photos, he hadn’t removed the old flashing at all but had stuck lead tape over the old flashing, the then painted it with some black sealer. He swore blind he replaced the flashing but he hasn’t, when I asked what code lead he used he said roofing lead. My ex is a plumber and though he hasn’t seen it he said it didn’t sound right st at all. I’m worried that because the flashing is now stuck down with lead tape right along and over the edge it won’t be able to expand and contract properly and will eventually crack. Also the black flashing looks awful to my mind. Have I been done over?
