Garage roof leak

Afternoon!

Seems i've got a leak coming from the garage roof and was wondering if any could offer any advice. Would this be a DIY job, or one for the professionals?

Here are a few pics.

I believe this is where the leak is from above.

Can you get on to the roof and have a proper look at what's causing the problem?  If it's just a small hole or tear in the felt, you may be able to patch it with just some bitumen paint and/or tape (there are loads of products available these days).  If the rest of the felt is looking like it's on its last legs, it may make more sense to bite the bullet and re-felt the whole lot.  It's not a terribly difficult DIY job, just time-consuming - and you need to pick your time, try and plan to do it over a weekend when the weather is warm and dry.

But the first thing is get up there, have a look, brush the gravel out of the way so you can properly see what's going on.

Thank you, will try and get up to have a look and take it from there.

Does water 'pool' on there, or does it have a reasonable slope?
As Ebe says, there are some good products out there that you can use. Cromapol, for example - simple to apply, and very effective.
The only snag might be the chippings that appear to be on there - I think that would need clearing before the stuff is applied. If you can find the source of the leak, then Croma will probably tide you over for a few years if needed :-)
