Am I correct in thinking these are fibre cement slate roof tiles and not the older slate lookalike smooth tiles made with asbestos?

 

I had old asbestos roof tiles many years ago and found the surface of the tiles would slowly break down and they would start to absorb moisture. This then allowed moss to grow and eventually the roof would became covered in moss. As asbestos hasn't been used for many years I would be surprised if there are asbestos tiled roofs that aren't covered in moss. If worried you can always send a sample off for testing.
