Can't see anything obvious, the new tiles or batons might be a bit thicker.
It was just the unevenness of the tiles really and the occasional seeming gap between some tiles.

Wasn't sure if it was normal due to the tiles etc.
 
Clay tiles often have a few twists . It's up to the roofer if he decides to use or reposition them . Tile for every place place for every tile .
The only thing BC will be interested in is insulation .

OP,
The pic has narrowed the image for some reason and its not settling?
The join between the two roofs looks a bit proud on my screen ?
 
your computer is useless tell boy. And go to Specsavers.

The neighbour join anomaly is exaggerated by the fact that old roofs get tired and sag. Except they don't usually sag on the boundary (semi-detached), as there is a supporting wall directly beneath. It's a lot more pronounced on older roofs because of the flimsier section timber used for the rafters and slimmer roof battens. This always results in a wee high spot at the joint. It's made worse by new tiles meeting old.
