Sorry I thought they were stripping off all the paint.
Speaking as someone with absolutely zero experience, I'd expect that you'd
- strip the paint back all the way on a large area surrounding the removed FG
- Key hard into that bare FG
- Clean thoroughly
- Patch over the wood and bare FG
- Paint once cured

Yep, that's definitely not what they have done . Nor have they given it any real time to cure. Banged the paint almost straight on the resin. Though I'm unsure of how much time it actually needs to cure .
My builder no longer works with the roofer, so they don't have any motivation to do a decent job. My builder finished the job for me, barring snagging, 16 months back, so has no motivation to replace the roof.
I can see this being particularly annoying to get sorted out

Yep-thats exactly why they are doing it.
And yes- I can't see how they are going to get an acceptable finish on it. It needs to look like the well finished new roof it should be
Given the surrounding fibreglass is covered in paint, I have my doubts on how they can achieve a strong bond between patch and existing Fibreglass. I'd have thought that where the new fibreglass resin patch meets paint will be a weak point. They are flying the gap with a thin layer of fibreglass resin. No sheeting like the rest of the roof
I also have concerns on the general sanding to the paint. there will be areas where they sand into the fibreglass, I'd imagine this will effect water tightness over time
