ᐅ Flat roof warranty expired – what to do or do nothing?

Hello, neighbors of ours have serious problems with their flat roof within the warranty period. In some areas, the wood underneath the PVC layer is rotted or decayed, and the wood comes apart by hand. The issue is now being handled by an expert who partially sank during the roof inspection. Our roof is older, built by other tradespeople (same general contractor) and just outside the warranty period. I was on the roof today and didn’t notice anything; I tested it a bit by applying pressure. Does it still make sense to get an expert for safety, even though we are about 4 months past the warranty period? Attached is a photo.

A flat roof made of wood is a false economy. It simply shouldn't be done. Even the smallest damage can lead to a disaster.
Make sure to have a maintenance contract with at least an annual inspection.

Well, we had no choice..... but who do you get the maintenance contract with?

I think this is about the neighbors...

Now it suddenly sounds like you are talking about yourself?

Oh, so yours is also made of wood, I understand. I had overlooked that above...

Yes, but I don't care about him. It's about my roof and future. Do you make a maintenance contract for that?
