what you need to guarantee is that any water that runs onto the lead at the bottom gets directed to the gutter and no where else. many ways to do that, but stopping the drips being blown in the wind onto the wall is the aim.

Yeah I'm not convinced the water is even getting to that gap at the gutter edge. Checked this morning and it's mostly dry in that section and directly underneath. Majority of water seems to be further back and from under the soffit/facia edge
Anyway, lots of rain due later so for now I've got a make shift piece of flashing (alu from a monster can) and folded this behind the lead and tile hopefully directing to gutter if it's from there

Yeah had another opinion and seems that corner section is not the issue at all. The felt under the front row of tiles has dropped and also broken in some sections. They think some water that gets in past the tiles is then able to drop onto the top of the facia/soffit. It then runs left down the soffit to the wall
Felt/eaves trays needed

The lead work does not extend far enough , should be another section which diverts all rain away from wall into gutter .

There's no damp in that section at all, it's dry. Water is evident underneath but to the left of that part. It's coming from the soffit

Water travels.
Sure does, but that area below the lead is bone dry
