Damage ceiling during new flat roof repair

Hi hope someone can help. I noticed a damp patch on my celling not long after it was re plastered, the coving was also cracking. I had a few roofers out and all agreed the roof needed fixing. It was repaired around a year ago. I noticed it still wasn’t right after a few months so he came back and covered the roof in some sort of sealer which he said would be fine. But it’s still not been right. He has now come back and said he would take the whole roof off and re do it. Today they came to do it. I now have lots of hole marks in my ceiling in line with the board nails and parts that have cracked. He also said he doesn’t think the roof was leaking and it may have just been condensation. I’m no roof expert so this isn’t my fault he should have picked up on that surely. They have also finished for the day and left all the rubbish across my garden, including the boards with nails sticking out. Not in a pile just chucked where it landed when they threw it from the roof. Is this normal am I right to be annoyed about this? Also is it normal for the celling to be damaged in this way? He said they will fill it but it was freshly plastered a year ok, so it’s not just small homes there are some bigger areas that have come down too which I don’t think a bit of polly filler will fix.
