Default old slate roof advice please

I have a stone built house with a (slightly leaking) slate roof that I
need to fix. The slates are held on with funny nails, and no roof felt

A couple of slates have moved but generally the wood etc. seems to be in
good nick.

Once I get the leaks sorted I'm thinking of doing something like this:http://www.warmroof.co.uk/

Does anyone have any experience of it please?

It seems a bit expensive, but looks like it could/should be a do it once
and forget job. Does anyone know if diy is possible, or is it a
professional only job? Recommended suppliers?

TIA

Dear Simon
I agree with the other posts that this is just about the last thing to
do for the reasons given - lack of reversibility - rot not to mention
future sale risk.
