Get your own quote. And ask if localised repair has been considered.

they want 140k-17k my share which is frankly taking the piss when it’s actually only one quarter of the roof over one flat with 3 dormers where there is a leak that has been bodged
Remember you can challenge the scope, applicability, and necessity of major works using the Section 20 process. You can also nominate contractors. We were able to reduce the scope of our major works because the freeholder was trying to put in improvements when our lease only allowed repair. £500 with a leasehold specialist lawyer can save you tens of thousands.
That'll go even more if you can prove that the leak is as a result of a specific leaseholder with a trace survey!

@Mr_Smyth
Just had a notice to repair the roof and exterior decoration on our small block of 14 flats built 1986.
they want 140k-17k my share which is frankly taking the piss when it’s actually only one quarter of the roof over one flat with 3 dormers where there is a leak that has been bodged, the owner doesn’t live there as she is caring for a parent but water is getting to the flat blow.
my facia boards will need replacing at some point but there is no water ingress over any of the other top 3 flats and my roof is fine and has had a breathable membrane under the tiles fitted at some point which i presume is there same for the other flats. no tiles missing, no dropping soffits and the guttering is all working as it should.
to look at the 3 quotes you have to go to the office in Epsom.
the above includes 14k of surveyors fees.
Looks we are all having a day trip to Surrey then.
