Conservatory roof replacement in Tiverton

Across 2024 and 2025 the Met Office 2 km model puts 1,242 mm a year on Tiverton, which makes it the 14th wettest of the 100 towns we counted. On 238 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: 79 nights a year bring an hour of moderate or heavier rain, 15th highest of 100. We replace polycarbonate and glass conservatory roofs in Tiverton with 75 mm insulated panel roofs from £3,000, fitted onto the frame you have.

When to book in Tiverton

June, August and January gave Tiverton the best odds of a dry working day; February gave the worst, at 49%.

The longest run of dry working days in a row was 21, ending in April 2025. The longest wait without one was 10 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 Tiverton

A noise night is one with at least an hour of moderate rain (0.5 mm or more) between 11pm and 7am. Tiverton had 79 a year, more than the 65 of the average town, and 10 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.
