Our insurance with Saga is up for renewal.

This year there is a new endorsement which says that any flat roof must be
inspected at least every 8 years.

Presumably this means that you will need a certificate from a builder or
roofer signed and dated.
Otherwise how do you prove that it was inspected?

Supposedly a flat roof (or its covering) is only expected to last for
8 or 9 years,

15-20 is a more normal expected lifespan (though that doesn't mean you don't
have have to patch up a bit in that period)
