New roof -- slates not sitting flush

[Scampi64]

Hi guys!

We've just had a new roof completed on our home, and I'm a little concerned that the slates look messy, and aren't flush to the roof. (Pictures below.)

Is this going to cause problems, or is this to be expected on a ~120 year old house?

Lack of grading and care.
The roof is shapely but with care it could be slated a bit better . And the ridge isn't great either .
Doesn't look a good grade slate either . Who provided them ?

The roofer provided them. Here's what he quoted for, if that helps. (Photo below.)

Do you foresee it causing serious issues? Or is it just a case of it looking a bit wonky?

Cupa is a decent slate. So the cockers are due to lack of care or skill .
It'll Likley be fine just look "wonky"
The chimney has not been pointed (yet,) the the ridge has open butt joints
Code 6 lead in the valley that's surprising on a house . Not a negative

Why is there still a bonding gutter? I suspect the apprentice did some of that work!

I did wonder about that too.
Slate size either different or batten gauge . Who knows

I did wonder about that too.

Perhaps they course up with the (not visible) neighbour on t'uther side?

This is true ...

While this is possible, it looks from the photo like all the courses pretty much line up to me!

Looking again , the only courses that connect the properties are the top few above the dormer and behind the chimney.
Therefore the there was no need for the bs/g
