    Ip has rotting timber on 1 truss and window frame. See photos. I am wondering who should be the best tradies to call i.e. truss carpenter, roof plumber or builder. Clearly, the timber has to replaced and gutter need to change as water from the gutter caused timber rotting

    A carpenter should be able to do both jobs replace window sill (though depending upon the damage, they may recommend replacing the entire window) and also for the fascia/guttering.

    Otherwise you may consider a glazier to remove the sill.

    What do you mean "truss".
    A truss is a roof frame component inside the roof. Not on the outside.

    Replace/repair guttering to stop the leak onto that facia.
    The window...? where is the water coming from. Fix those leaks is all you need.
    Then repair the bits.
