Roof tile query

I suspect the corners are just broken off, I don't see a problem.
Tall, dark & handsome. Well two out of three ain't bad.1 -
Call the manufacturer and ask them whether straight or broken bond is recommended for that particular tile.

These are pics of a different roof, right? The joins are all in line.

Yes, the ones in line are on the main house, the staggered ones are on the extension.

Some tiles are straight bonded, such as pantiles, others like flat tiles, are broken bonded. There are others that can be laid either.

Can't see it would be a problem other than not matching the main roof. I actually think the staggered joints looks far better.

Personal opinion, as a non professional. It seems more sensible to offset the joins, simply because it breaks up the flow of water.
With in-line joins, water flowing down must build up in those joints, whereas with offset joins, any build- up is only one tile at a time.It probably doesn’t really matter. So it’s down to asthetics.
