If it fails to drain could make a water feature

Am I right in thinking that the end where the little trailer is is the end near the mezzanine floor? The ground looks higher outside there than inside the workshop? Which way has the bad weather been coming from has it been hitting that gable end when we have had any of the particularly heavy rain?

I’ve a spot it finds its way into the house when we have torrential rain from a particular direction.

My small workshop, an old cowshed, 100mm plus concrete floor and presumably no DPM has a damp floor after heavy rain. Perhaps a day after it has stopped raining the floor is still wet but then dries. I've always put this down to the water table as we're on the bottom of a hill

The leak may be a little way from where the water lands? My wriggly pan tile roof looked fine but we've had a bad leak in one bedroom for a while, since the gale. We had a gap inbetween rain showers yesterday & I went up using the strip a few tiles method & my long roof ladder to get the rest of the way.

Two tiles were parted behind the chimney where there must have been a vortex. Now these are 14" long so two apart make quite a hole & the rain wasn't getting to the flashing & running along a joist into the bedroom. I wriggled the tiles back straight & it's rained all night with NO leak! Wife is very happy. I also unblocked the yard drain but that was nothing to do with the roof leak or at least I think not!
