Conservatory roof replacement in Plymouth
Plymouth had 1,369 mm of rain a year across 2024 and 2025, more than the 911 mm the average town in our ledger had. That still leaves 248 days a year with under 0.2 mm between 8am and 4pm, the kind of day a roof comes off and goes back on.
It also counts 80 noise nights a year, nights with rain hard enough to drum on polycarbonate between 11pm and 7am. We replace polycarbonate and glass conservatory roofs in Plymouth with 75 mm insulated panel roofs from £3,000, fitted onto the frame you have.

When to book in Plymouth
In Plymouth the driest working months were June, August and March, and the wettest was September, when 55% of days stayed dry from 8am to 4pm.
The longest run of dry working days in a row was 25, ending in April 2025. The longest wait without one was 9 days. That is why we book roofs a week or two ahead and confirm the day on the forecast: a dry day turns up in almost every week of the year. When to book a roof swap has the full reasoning.

Rain at night in Plymouth
We count a noise night whenever an hour between 11pm and 7am brings 0.5 mm of rain or more, the Met Office's moderate band. Plymouth had 80 a year, more than the 65 of the average town, and 11 nights with a heavy hour over 4 mm.
In the lab, heavy rain on 25 mm polycarbonate measures 64.6 dB against 52.0 dB for double glazed roof glass. Nobody has published the same test for aluminium panel roofs, so we will not put a number on ours. How loud rain is on each kind of roof sets out what is measured.
- Light (under 0.5 mm an hour)580 h
- Moderate (0.5 to 4 mm)651 h
- Heavy (over 4 mm)48 h

Usually, yes. The bars, the dwarf wall and the frame get tested at the survey, and only a sound frame gets a panel roof price.
