If the tile gutters lap over successfully, then why not.

Thanks for reply will just keep an eye on things as solicitor advised and if it goes wrong well its off to court

OP,
Unless you are bonding like for like then its best practice to use a bonding gutter.
The Ludlow & the Redlands might appear to have bonded but give it a bit of time and the join will probably leak.
FWIW: there's more to bonding a roof than just installing a bonding gutter.

Looking at lap layout/dims they seem just about compatible and may cause less problems that fitting a bonding gutter and more aesthetically pleasing?

OP,
The Ludlow & the Redland are not compatible:
Their dimensions are different.
Plus the Redland has a camber.
Joining roof covers on the same plane requires taking care and time to do a correct job while giving attention to details.
Or else you might be clambering on the roof doing remedial repairs for many years to come plus the irregular join maybe red flagged by a future mortgage surveyor.

I would do my own check with Marley's technical chaps and unless they confirm it's fine get your man back to the job right.

Spoke to marley they said

Thank you for your email. Marley always recommend the use of a bonding gutter where two different tile profiles are being used within a roof. We are unable to guarantee that the join between Marley and Redland tiles will be weathertight.
But Redland said this is a common practice should be o.k
And solicitor says i just have to wait and see if it leaks before i can take legal action

If it looks like this, there might be a problem...
