Hi,
Looking for advice on replacing a broken roof tile with a different brand?
Not sure if this is normal practice and would be perfectly fine?
We had a roof contractor come out to carry out the replacement. Only discovered the tiles we had were Russell Pennine once they were removed. They replaced it with what appears to be a Marley Mendip

After looking online, i noticed the size was slightly different (418x330 Russell - 420x330 Marley).
So naturally just concerned if the general profile and interlocking channels are even a proper match.

Appreciate if anyone can advise, or perhaps has experience of these tiles could comment.
Thanks

You should be able to see if they fit ok . The 2mm in length won't matter .
Thanks got things sorted.
The official view is that the interlock channels are not compatible as one would expect.
Hence the tiles don't properly marry up on the joins....leaving a gap that opens to ingress potential.
Got the contractor back to replace the correct tile....all good now.
