New roof on neighbours

Question

My neighbour has just had a new roof with thicker batons. His roof is now higher than mine. They’ve installed a bonding tray but my tiles are raised at edge sitting on the tray. Therefore 2nd row of tiles are now sitting at a v angle. Neither neighbour nor roofer admitting any accountability saying it’s new regulations on size of batons and my roof needs replacing anyway. I now had a triangular gap in between every tile going up roof in 2 nd row of tiles up the roof. Where do I stand as being unreasonable to correct. No discussion with me beforehand.

Hi there, I  am happy to come visit your property to take a look. There are new regulations in place for the use of bigger battens, as long as they have left your roof safe and water tight there isn’t much you can do

If the neighbour has had a new roof done then that's the neighbour, yours should not in any way be different to what it was prior to your neighbours having a new roof
