Hi @Maymay 

 

Simple  outdoor liquid nails builder glue will hold the timber back on with a screw or two.

 

Sorry  to say 

You will need some one with a big ladder and extra safe high ladder skills to reach up there.

 

Maybe local  handy  man service.

Hi @Jewelleryrescue 

Thank you for your advice, I wonder the handy man if he has a big ladder and I don’t have either

Happy 2025 to you all please stay safe 🎉🥳🎉🥳

Re: How to fix a piece of timber on the rooftop

Hi @Maymay,

 

It seems like your rooftop timber repair might require the expertise of a professional. The length of timber in question appears to be custom-cut to fit neatly under the tiles, so replacing it will likely involve precise measurements and careful cutting to ensure a proper fit.

 

The current piece of timber looks like it is not deteriorated and warped, requiring replacement. A new piece of timber will need to be securely fixed into position to prevent future issues, and this could be a two-person job, especially to ensure accuracy and safety. Given the height and the risk involved, scaffolding may be necessary to provide a stable and secure working platform. This is particularly important for maintaining safety during the repair.

 

If you're not experienced with working at heights or handling roof repairs, I strongly recommend contacting a professional roofing contractor. They will have the skills, tools, and equipment needed to complete the job safely and efficiently. 

See something interesting? Give it the thumbs up!
