I'd say put some fan heaters in the loft pretty damn quick.

Be careful of the risk of ice damming. When there is literally an ice dam at the eaves so any melt water can't escape. It can build up to leak under the slates.I'd say put some fan heaters in the loft pretty damn quick.
As long as you have an escape somewhere along the eaves, you should be OK.

You'll be amazed at how much hot water you'll need plus that can freeze where it falls providing additional hazards.
Might be better off with hairdryer/hotair gun or similar
