Tiles are mechanical felt is lining if rain gets past tiles lining will carry rain into guttering,however the felt is normally perished before it gets over facia, So expect ingress at internal wall

Hi chris, It depends on the condition of the felt underneath if it has any. The tiles/slates are the first barrier against water ingress the felt is secondary, if any is damaged you can expect water penetration. Kind regards Paul. Total roofing care.
