what to do re roofing repair that did not solve leak

I recently paid a roofing company £180 pounds for the following work on a tiled (sloping not flat) 1st floor bay bedroom roof which was leaking in the corner: fit membrane underneath roof slates sealed gutter sealed flashings along front door sealed flashings on bay window 1 roofer did the job this seemed reasonable to me apart from two things- the short time it took to do this repair (under an hour) and the fact that it is still leaking in the back corner and now also in the middle; last year the middle leaked and was sealed with bitumen which held well-could it be that the lead flashing was disturbed by the roofer so now I have my old leak again? Also am not sure how this membrane could have been placed under the tiles without taking them off- although was assured membrane was fitted when I queried Two roofers came out again when I said it was still leaking - the other roofer noticed my down pipe was clogged and unblocked it but said I needed new guttering/downpipe around the bay (£200 quote for this and that was the problem). So now I am 180 out of pocket with a roof that leaks worse than before. any adivce re type of work carried out and possible cause of leak? many thanks
