Roof tiles not lying flat

Question

We've removed moss from our cottage roof but some of the tiles aren't lying flat. They look a bit rustic and I think they're made of clay. Is this normal or do they need replacing?

Patrick · Answer

It’s could be a case of baton damage or tile nails out of place or damaged tiles without having a site visit to inspect it there’s many different opinions on what it could be

Hello 
Some tiles are naturally twisted if you have good spare ones you can change them, Or rob ones from low down gutter level and change with the ones seen higher up the roof.

moss has a habit of rooting itself under tiles which eventually starts to dislodge
them. Once moss is removed they generally just need re-seating. Area should also
be treated to prevent reoccurrence.

Scott · Answer

yes its normal but now you have removed the moss it will expose all the tiles to more damage and if they do not lay flat it means there will be a problem with the wood under them

Thomas · Answer

It could be some mortar underneath or a broken timber batons
