Ive been inside a mates roof and found a snapped strut. (Its a double pitched roof with 2 purlins) The strut has been 'repaired' in the past by nailing a small plate to put the two joists back together but hes thinking its about time to get a better job done.

Strange thing is next to this strut is another strut :?: . My question is how should the strut be repaired properly and is it common to find another strut alongside damaged struts.

Any comments would be appreciated.

Just realised ive put this in the wrong section. mods can you put this in the roofing section please

Is the other strut fastened securely to the broken strut along a reasonable length?
If so, and there's no sagging, I don't see a problem.
Unless the snapped strut is rotten for some reason? ;)
