Conservatory roof replacement in Sevenoaks
Across 2024 and 2025 the Met Office 2 km model puts 811 mm a year on Sevenoaks, which makes it the 55th wettest of the 100 towns we counted. On 270 days a year the hours from 8am to 4pm stay dry, so finding a fitting day is a question of watching the forecast, not waiting for summer.
At night it is a different story: 66 nights a year bring an hour of moderate or heavier rain, 47th highest of 100. We replace polycarbonate and glass conservatory roofs in Sevenoaks with 75 mm insulated panel roofs from £3,000, fitted onto the frame you have.

When to book in Sevenoaks
April, June and August gave Sevenoaks the best odds of a dry working day; July gave the worst, at 63%.
The longest run of dry working days in a row was 26, ending in March 2025. The longest wait without one was 6 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.

A noise night is one with at least an hour of moderate rain (0.5 mm or more) between 11pm and 7am. Sevenoaks had 66 a year, about the same as the 65 of the average town, and 5 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.
