A good decorator should be able to help there

If that’s really wood then I imagine the ultimate solution would be have it replaced with render or cement or something.
Was the wood put in as a fix for crumbling original cement?
-
The only issue is that I’m not sure who to contact.
@chrisbmx116 he did a great job on his, I'm sure his rates are competitive.
Out of curiosity which bit is wood? Just the red, or the red and the green?

As @Tenderloin has mentioned it's a job for a decorator but i wouldn't want to get someone on it at this time of year.
Black matt paint is always going to fail like this more quickly than white gloss because it absorbs heat in the summer, cracks and moisture gets under the surface. It needs primer and undercoat tinted to a similar colour and ideal conditions to apply it (i.e. dry and warm). Then it just needs recoating more often than white gloss.

A roofer? General builder?
Builder / maintenance person. Maybe a roofer if the flat rood deck behind / above it is fucked.
When things are getting dry / warm I'd be tempted to get up there on a ladder and sand back that flaking area to get a feel for the shape of the wood.
Presume that bit is a facia board that fronts the bay roof joists behind it.

The main problem here is the lack of a gutter when it rains the water is just running down the masonry, once it gets through any defects in the paint it will soak whatever is underneath ( not sure it is wood ) and pop the paint

The paint is starting to flake on the top part of our bay window. This part is made of wood and we are concerned it is rotten. Rather than wait for it to become a problem I’d like to get someone in to replace it. The only issue is that I’m not sure who to contact. A roofer? General builder? A window installer.
