Hi all

I have a natural slate roof that has no soffits or ventilation of any type that I can see?
I want to add ventilation as I am insulating the roof internally to make it a small work area.
I have left 50mm behind the between rafter,100mm insulation but cannot work out how this would be ventilated unless I try and retrofit something?
The slates overhang the brickwork and just look to have a drip shield underneath?
Is there anything I can do without removing tiles? possibly remove the batten I can see just up from the tile lower edge and insert some type of ventilator strip?
If I do need to remove the entire bottom row of tiles then is my only option using a tingle on every single one? the roof is 7 meters long so that is a lot of tingles!
I guess the other option might be slate vents to replace the odd tile?
