I've been pricing my roofing for my SIPS build. As it's a SIPS roof, I had been looking for membrane, counter batons running vertical then normal batons so I had the ventilation space. I will be using a slate roof (Cupa heavy 3) in Scotland. Now one roofer has said Batens are harder than sarking to fix slates on and hence says, I should do the counter batens, but then fit sarking (22mm thick, 150 wide, etc) and that would be better and reduce costs for labour install. I need to check cost implications but thoughts anyone from a technical (or any other) perspective???

We have an old cottage in Scotland which has Welsh slate and sarking boards but no membrane under the tiles. A few of the slates are tired and failing. Despite all the woodwork seeming sound underneath we have always assumed we need to reslate with membrane under. As funds are tight I am questioning if it actually needs doing and instead just tidy the slates and replace individual tiles as needed? Thanks.
