Considering Zinc Roofing in Hereford? Here’s What You Need to Know
Zinc roofing isn’t just stylish — it’s one of the most durable and low-maintenance roofing materials available. If you’re based in Hereford and want a roof that looks sharp and lasts decades, zinc could be the ideal option.
At AJC Roofing, we supply and install zinc roofing across Hereford, Ross-on-Wye, Ledbury, and surrounding areas. Whether it’s a contemporary extension, barn conversion, or new-build property, we provide expert zinc solutions that stand the test of time.
What Is Zinc Roofing?
Zinc roofing is a metal roofing system that uses either rolled or standing seam sheets. It’s a popular choice for both residential and commercial buildings thanks to:
- A lifespan of up to 100 years
- Self-healing surface that hides scratches
- Natural patina development for long-term weather protection
- Lightweight and eco-friendly profile
It also requires minimal maintenance compared to traditional tiled roofing.
Benefits of Zinc Roofing in Hereford’s Climate
Hereford sees plenty of rain and shifting temperatures throughout the year. Zinc’s flexibility and weather resistance make it a smart investment for homeowners and developers who want:
- Long-term leak protection
- Strong thermal performance
- A clean, modern look
- Resistance to moss and algae
Common Zinc Roofing Applications
We install zinc roofing for:
- Dormers and modern attic conversions
- Side and rear home extensions
- Commercial units and office buildings

If you want your home to stand out — and stay protected — zinc is a smart, future-proof choice.
