How to rectify roof damage after a storm?

Hey Workshop,

I am interested in knowing how to DIY roof repair.

I have a slight sagging roof and bended the beam and rafters.

The whole roof structure is built on the purlin system that numerous rafters rest on a 70x90mm beam. This 70x90mm beam is supported by a few 70x90mm woodwork tied into either beam or load bearing wall.

Due to the storm, the tree branch fell on my roof which causes the roof sag and shift.

That 70x90mm beam supported by a few 70x90 woodwork is shifted and sagged. And there are two rafters also bended.

An immediate rectification is needed.

Regards,

Nuo

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Nuojin7872. It's terrific to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about roof repairs.

It appears the structural elements of your roof, including the beam and rafters, have been compromised due to the storm damage. This is a significant safety concern, as the integrity of these components is crucial to supporting the roof and ensuring the safety of the structure beneath it.

Given the sagging beam, shifted supports, and bent rafters, immediate professional assessment and stabilisation are strongly recommended. A qualified structural engineer or licensed roofing professional can evaluate the extent of the damage, ensure the roof is safe, and provide the necessary repairs or reinforcements to restore its integrity.

Attempting to repair such critical structural damage without professional guidance may pose further risks to your safety and the stability of the roof.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks Mitchell. A structural engineer would come and inspect my roof next week, hopefully he would assess it and verify the cause reason.
