Hi
Need advise on methods of repair before I speak with a builder.
I have a hip roof where purlins are fixed into a wall but the other end has some supports which seem to be supported from an upright which sits on the upstairs joists.
The uprights have split (shake)- the house is however 110 years old
Initial idea was to have the uprights replaced - but then I read about strapping and resin, any advice would be appreciated.
Split under purlin (only one side has split)

Upright
Ceiling from other side
I will be refoofing but want to ensure everything is sound first, any help would be appreciated.
