Roofing

Check and quote for repair strengthening or challenge surveyor recommendations for the roof?

we had homebuyers survey back on the property we buying, and it recommends work on the roof "There was evidence of water ingressand deterioration to the valleys which has caused some damage internally. This is evident to both front and rear valleys particularly. Remedy water ingress externally and repair the underfelt, timber treat and repair joinery internally. Roof strengthening should be conducted." if this is something a roofer can quote and asses suggest best way forward? Had roofer i know suggesting 2-3k for the work but after seeing survey he said he is not certified to check do strengthening work if needed and suggested a building contractor ? The roof and cement tiles on it are original and 64 years old as they normally last 60 i think a reroof is imminent shortly + work surveyor recommended but the vendor only likes to do a basic repairs to fix the leaks. Don't think this will be enough and asked for a drop in price to cover cost of this work on a 3 bed semi in cambs.
