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.

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.
