Flat Roof Vent Retrofit

    Hello.

    We are looking at a fat roofed garage conversion to include a W.C. and utility room.
    It has a parapet to 3 sides and a first floor wall on the other.
    We are installing new insulation.
    We dont want to vent the 50mm cavity above the new insulation straight through the wall as the wall is cald in stone.
    At the other side we have the first floor wall so its not an option here anyway.
    Does anyone have advice on retrofitting vents to a flat roof in such a parapet situation?

    thank you in advance....

    am a bit puzzzled here.

    what is creating the 50 mm cavity and why do u think it needs to be ventilated?

    Can u described the construction from outside to in
    eg
    stone cladding
    block
    cavity

    Am not saying it does or doesn't but am interested in what prompted the post.
