Daylight between roof tiles

Hi, I have recently moved in to my new home, which is 20 years old. I've just been in the loft and noticed that I can see daylight in between a few of the tiles, above the felt. Its not a big gap and the wood batens beneath them are dry. Is this a problem I need to be concerned about? I'm just wondering whether to call a roofer but with lockdown we aren't too keen to have anyone in our house unnecessarily. Thanks for any advice.

You shouldn’t need to have them in the house at all. I just leave my roofers to get on with it when I’m at work (they don’t have keys!). They usually do the quote whilst I’m out too and we speak on the phone. You could also buy a cheap moisture detector off Amazon and check if the wood is really dry, and also check during the next heavy rain.
