Can you felt over old felt?

When felting over any old felt you can use a bitten primer to get a proper fix, some felts are also a 3 layer system allowing them to go over old felt, however if he has quoted for old felt to be removed then that is what he should have done.

Have had a flat roofer turn up to do a repair and refelt a roof, the long and short is even though he has quoted to replace some boards if needed, i know a couple were soaking wet as can see from inside my flat where ceiling fell in, he never even tried, just nailed new boards on top and refelted those, then on the concrete sides, he has not removed old felt just gone straight over the top, so instead of looking nice and flat is bubbly from old felt, even though he says yeah a ten year guarantee, surely to get a decent grip he needed to remove old felt, he asked for payment i couldnt see from his pics, but got on the roof and can see quite a few problems, can i get an expert opinion before paying him, as im sure if i pay its one of those people that will never be in contact again, even though he has a nice flashy website !! His quote said to remove all old felt as well, i can find a complaint on rated people about his flat roofing (always the case) as didnt see it before, the pictures he has supplied me look all okay as all from a distance, but my pictures are a completely different looking, felt not stuck down on edges etc finish Okay update had another roofer in (yeah once burned) he has said because he hasnt actually taken up old boards which are soaking and not removed the old felt basically laid new boards on top and felted over, all he has done has created a sponge, roof still leaking and although he quoted to allow water to drain down gutters, it doesnt at all, have cancelled the cheque, so will get threatening phones call again next week, as he been hassling for money to go staright into his personal account, but he has a big company van, so surely cheque in his name gives me no ten year guarantee, as although receipt is in company name, am of to see a solicitor i guess ahhhhhhh headache
