Default Rotten Rafters

Hi all,

Just about to get the house re-roofed and have noticed that at the
extremities there are a handful of rafters which have developed some form
of rot due to the incursion of rainwater. No evidence of woodworm AFAICT.
So the lowest 10-14" of the affected rafters really need attention before
the new roof goes on.
Is there some way of replacing *just* the rotten bits? We're only talking
of the most outside rafters closest to the exterior walls at the point
where they meet the guttering line.
How to proceed, please.....?
