A builder will tell you. Get them access to the roof.
Surveyor won’t have access to the roof, will do it by sight, and will caveat whatever they report.
Ask the seller when it was last done too. You don’t have to trust them but they may surprise you.

They might or they might not. If they have decent access and can poke around then they may give you a decent idea. Or they may just say roof looks ok but couldn't really check it.
I'd speak to the surveyor beforehand if it's something you think could be an issue.

Ours did, but it was quite obvious to spot

@Lw.
Survey question; will a home buyers report flag if a roof needs work? Or would I need a full building survey for that?
Specifically concrete roof tiles on one of those ugly 1970s terraces. Looks fine from the outside but I'm sure they're supposed to be replaced every 40 years and they don't look done.
