Is Your Attic Window Letting Water In?
If you live in Hereford and you’ve got an attic window built into your roof, chances are it looks great — but hidden problems could be costing you money.
At AJC Roofing, we’ve inspected and repaired dozens of attic window roof setups in Hereford that were quietly leaking heat, water, or both. Whether it’s around the flashing, the frame, or the tiles themselves — these small gaps often lead to big damage.
What Is an Attic Window Roof?
An attic window roof (also called a rooflight or dormer window) is a window installed within the slope of your roof to add light, ventilation, and usable space to your attic. It’s a great feature — but only if installed and maintained properly.
Common Problems We See in Hereford Homes
1. Cracked Flashing Around the Window Frame
If the lead flashing or sealing around your attic window roof is old, cracked, or poorly fitted, water can get in every time it rains.
We see this issue often in homes needing roof repairs across Hereford and nearby towns.
2. Condensation and Damp Around the Frame
Poor insulation or airflow around attic windows can cause condensation, which leads to rot, mould, and weakened timber.
3. Leaks During Heavy Rain or Wind
We regularly get called out to homes in Hereford, Ross-on-Wye, and Ledbury with leaks coming through attic windows, usually after storms or strong winds loosen tiles or damage seals.
Why You Shouldn’t Wait
Water damage spreads — and once it seeps through the attic, it reaches ceilings, electrics, insulation, and more. Waiting too long often leads to far more expensive repairs.
That’s why it’s smart to get your attic window roof checked now, especially if your roof is over 15 years old.
