Is It Time for a Roof Replacement in Hereford?
Your roof protects everything beneath it — but most people don’t realise there’s a problem until it’s too late.
At AJC Roofing, we specialise in roof replacement Hereford homeowners can rely on. We also serve Ross-on-Wye, Ledbury, and the wider Herefordshire area.
If you’ve noticed any of these 5 warning signs, it could be time to act before the damage becomes expensive.
1. Cracked, Missing or Loose Roof Tiles
One of the most common signs you need a new roof is broken or slipped tiles. Whether it’s after a storm or years of wear, gaps in your roofing let water in — and water damage means costly repairs.
We’ve replaced tiled roofs across Hereford, Ledbury, and Ross-on-Wye, and the issue usually starts with a few loose or cracked tiles.
What to do: Book a quick roof inspection. The earlier you catch it, the cheaper it is to fix.
2. Daylight or Damp in Your Loft
If you go into your loft and see daylight shining through, or you notice signs of damp timber, the underlay is likely failing. Moisture is entering the structure, and over time this causes rot, mould, and damage to your insulation.
We offer honest roof inspections across Hereford, Ross-on-Wye, and nearby towns to identify these issues early.
3. Sagging Rooflines or Uneven Ridges
A sagging roof is one of the clearest signs your roof needs urgent attention. It could mean water has been soaking into the timber structure or that the decking underneath is failing.
We’ve helped homeowners across Herefordshire fix structural roofing issues before they became dangerous.
What to do: Don’t leave this one. A sagging roof is a serious warning sign. Contact a professional immediately.
4. Moss or Algae on Roof Tiles
Moss and algae may seem harmless, but they hold water against your tiles. Over time, that moisture breaks down the tile surface and weakens your roof.
We provide professional roof moss removal in Hereford and Ledbury, keeping your tiles protected and your roof clean.
What to do: Don’t try to pressure wash it off yourself — this can cause more harm than good. Use a qualified roofer.
5. Grit in Your Gutter
If you’ve seen sand-like granules or grit in your guttering, that’s usually tile surface breakdown. These granules protect your tiles from sun and weather damage — and once they’re gone, the tiles weaken fast.
What to do: This is an early sign your tiles are reaching the end of their life. Get a local roofer to assess whether a roof replacement in Hereford is the better long-term option.
Bonus: Your Roof Is Over 20 Years Old
Even if it looks fine from the ground, a roof that’s 20+ years old is likely to be hiding issues. Roofs naturally break down over time — and older materials may no longer be doing their job.
If you’re in Hereford or the surrounding areas, AJC Roofing offers new roof installation with honest inspections to give you peace of mind.
