Roof Insulation and Ceiling Joist Spacing

I am about to get some quotes for roof insulation and was in the roof today measuring the distance between the joists.

I noticed that the joist spacing is quite variable. Anything between 520 and 580mm. Then there is the odd section with 450mm spacing or less. (This is measured between the inner sides of the joists).

Is this normal/typical? Will this cause problems when getting someone in to install batts?
