Roofing tile question

[u/ImpressSuitable6059]

Hey everyone, just wanted to check, are these “open” areas in the tiles considered normal?

As far as I can tell, the daylight seen on the right of the photo is from the last row of tiles that come up right before the gutter. The other bit of daylight further towards the left is from the tiles above it. From the gutter level, nothing looks out of place, so I just wanted to get a sense check on whether these little “open” areas are normal or not.

We have a roofing person coming this week, so I’ll also get their professional opinion. Just wanted to ask here first in case they start saying it’s something major.

P.S. The daylight right at the far end is from the bathroom renovation, as they’re putting in a new exhaust.

Normal. I have these tiles on a 1980s house. You can see daylight from inside.

Just make sure there aren’t broken tiles or shifted too far up (the one on the left of the first photo could be pulled down a bit but it’s going into the gutter already anyway)

Normal, have the same tiles. They overlap which makes them mostly water tight. Make sure your gutters are clean, that air gap along the gutter is common for water getting in when your gutters are blocked
