Soaked chipboard and MDF - roof leak

Hi,
New here. We are having a loft conversion done and company has failed time and again to waterproof the roof, so we are now experiencing the 4th rain leak in 5 weeks.
As a result, one of the chipboard roof panels (where it leaked every single time) has been soaked through and through, and I am concerned about its integrity. Should we ask for it to be replaced?
Second issue, the MDF staircase. Despite our best efforts with buckets and boxes several steps have also been soaked repeatedly. What's the risk with these? Certainly the company will say it's OK, as it would cost them a fortune to replace the staircase but is it really OK?
Any advice much appreciated, as we are extremely angry and concerned.

Guessing, this sounds expensive and a potential risk, with possible legal implications. Think you need loads of photos and professional help, would think a solicitor and structural engineer0
