Wet brickwork under fascia

[Jivebunny]

I noticed a wet patch on the brickwork after a heavy downpour. Its adjacent to the down pipe. See photo.
I havnt been able to get up the ladder to take a look due to the weather. I assume it could be a blocked or partially blocked downpipe?

Any ideas?

Probably gutters need cleaning

OP,
You will need to go up a ladder, and take some pics to post on here - show inside the gutter outlet, and if the felt is coming down over the gutter?
A hose pipe can be used to water test with a light spray.
However, unless the lower roof is a flat roof it might be difficult raising a ladder without a wide "Standoff"?

Busted tile higher up

After further investigation i noticed that a roof tile had slipped. I got a local roofer in to take a look and he has said some of the lafts had rotted which has caused the slippage. He’s not sure how far up the problem is although he noticed a hole in one of the tiles halfway up.
He was in trouble with his mrs for being late home so hes coming back to take a closer look and give a price. I’ve had this guy before and others in the road have used his services so hopefully it can be done soon.

OP,
The leak is presenting at the eaves.
Here's a heads-up:
No matter if the laths are rotten or there's tile slippage or a hole in a tile (whatever that means) - any penetrating rainwater will hit the felt and run down the felt to the discharge point at the eaves.
Did your "local roofer" go up a ladder to view from the roof eaves? Did this local roofer go into your loft?
Do you have pics of these defects you mention?
