Cause of the roof leaking? (Victorian house with photos)

leakleakingroofroofing

I was putting some stuff in the loft of my Victorian house (UK) and found the roof was dripping wet on the inside and it is wet pretty much everywhere, not just in one area.

I have looked at the roof on both sides and don't see anything obvious.

I was looking for a slate that was out of place but couldn't see anything. Even if there was a dislodged slate that wouldn't explain why it's wet everywhere.

Any ideas what could be the cause?

Below are some photos from today but it was much worse a few days ago and there were small puddles on any of the plastic bags up there.

If you want to identify where the leak is coming from, get a buddy and have him spray your roof with water using a hose while your in the loft looking for water. Have him start from the low point of the roof and slowly work his way up. Sine you don't sound like a roofer I'd say this is your easiest way to find the leak.

Don't forget to give me a thumbs up so I get credit for helping you.

Good luck
