Hi, Need some advice regarding a asphalt flat roof. We recently had a survey done on our apartment block flat roof. I'm on the management committee and was wondering if anyone has any opinion on the attached pictures. The roofers say the asphalt is cracked and needs to be " prime out existing surface in bituminous primer, cover with 4mm granular torch on felt forming drips where required.

It looks like the "cracks" are running along the gully drain and we're wondering if this is just normal wear on the roof ? Its 26 years old and a builder who hasn't seen the roof told us that asphalt roofs last 40 years before needing replacement . Any advice gratefully appreciated. The survey was routine as there are no signs of leaks or damp anywhere.

Difficult to evaluate these pictures

Who did the survey?

Looks in poor condition. One fresh layer after 26 years ain’t bad.
