Bleh, even after the roofer turned up today the rain that swept through has caused another leak from the skylight and an area close to it.
Turns out from what I was told that there was a broken tile up there and something related to the skylight had to be patched up, guess that didn't work though or wasn't fully fixed.
It's possible that if caulk was used, it didn't have time to dry and immediately carked it. Sticking a plastic sheet over it may have helped but then they would've had to come back to remove it. May have just risked it to save you the money of them returning. It was either a definite return to remove whatever was covering it, or a potential return if the fix carked it.
That's just my two cents anyway, I'm just spitballing.
I’ve got no idea since I didn’t deal with the roofer.
It’s a new leak sure. No idea if the repairs today have caused this or not.
Now that it’s at least confirmed I’d like it to stop raining now
