I don't know what you are talking about - is it a hipped roof or not?


Looking at it it would appear that they have used 'ridge' tiles on the
hip, so they seem to stick up more than needed?

Did the builders do this because "you can't get the lower profile ones
any more" (often an answer to such questions), they didn't know there
were different angles or they simply didn't have the right ones on the
truck so couldn't be bothered?

Any decent builder will use the proper stuff. There's a wide variety
available, albeit much of it is "concrete".
