Thank you everyone for replying, it’s really opening my eyes to the work my roofing contractor did. I still have the scaffolding up. what major concerns should I raise with my builder so that I’m not having to redo this roof in a few years time?

Thanks all. I’ve spoken to my builder/project manager and he’s adamant that the structure of the gable means they’ve had to put the tiles in that way. He did mention they could cut the top of the tiles to make it match but it’s mean the tiles won’t have anything to hook onto. He also claims the valleys are perfectly fine and will drain any water without leaking. Aesthetically the gable it looks very poor which I guess I could just live with… my main issue is, will this cause any leakage or mean that I’d need to get the roof fixed in the near future? Will the valleys also cause any issues? Once again, I really appreciate all your input in this very stressful period for myself.

Thank you for the reply. I’ve got an image of the other side of the gable too, but no previous images I’m afraid. also, I’m so sorry for sounding like a complete amateur, but would you mind explaining what the head lap and what pointing is? :S

Hi all, I’m really hoping I can get some expert advice on some new roof tiles I’ve had put on. ive had my very old roof tiles replaced with new Battons and valleys. I noted that the second row of tiles on my gable area seem to be getting shorter and shorter. Is this bad tiling or is it due to the original structure of my gable?
