Installing vented ridge tiles and removing solid soffits and replacing with vented soffits is whats required,
May I ask why the ventilation is necessary?
Do you have damp?

You could install soffit vents, but more effective to fit roof vents, you can get them to match your slate/tile.
On a standard 3 bed property we would fit 8no, 4 on each side, with 2 at low level and 2 at high level.
Make sure whoever fits them cuts through the felt, as I have seen them fitted without cutting the felt, you need to vent the main roof space and have a good air flow.

Sweating roofs are a symptom of not having breathable felt on your roof. A cheap and simple solution to this is to have roof tile vents fitted which will allow the roof to breath
