Default Leaking chimney, but where is the water getting in? (see pics)

Do you really want this lot back again?..

I strongly agree. I would tell them to hold whilst you get an
independent surveyor to list all the defects and the remedial work/
cost.

What is going on with those ridge tiles at the edge of the flat roof?
I've never seen anything like that before. From your pictures I can't
quite work out where the chimney is in relation to that sloping
section that leaks under the soffit. If you can do without the chimney
it might be worth removing it below tiles and tiling over that
section. It would be another area to eliminate leaks. To be honest if
it were my roof I'd want the whole lot stripping off and redoing
properly -otherwise it will always be leaking somewhere due to the
numerous bodges.
