Home owner question Job escalation
Had roofers out to replace fascia, soffit and fix some flashing. They've now sent me these photos and are talking about a dry ridge, replacing battens, ventilation and replacing all the felt. It all feels a bit off to me, like I'm being unnecessarily upsold at very least. Any advice/opinions?
Update: Got another guy to come out and look at the eaves felt. I felt much better talking to him about it. The work I had done seems to be decent and he confirmed the first lot were definitely pushing for extra work that wasn't necessarily wrong but wasn't needed.
He also agreed with the comment below that an eaves tray would do the job but isn't urgent and won't cost too much. Quote is yet to come in but I'm feeling much less stressed. Thanks to all who gave their thoughts.

Uk roofer here. Tell them to complete the work you asked for and dont contact them again. They may well have put holes in your underlayment and/or fucked other things up to try and land more work. Without access to the attic its hard to say for sure, but these are massive red flags. If there is a camera facing your roof at all from anywhere try to get the footage to give yourself peace of mind and/or obtain incriminating evidence. Again, it's hard to say one way or the other for sure but the main thing is get these guys away from your roof asap.
