The South of England's Rainfall in 2025: 
How Loud is your conservatory roof?

As we dive into 2025, it seems the South of England has had its fair share of rain already. With the new year bringing plenty of wet weather, homeowners across the region are once again reminded of the challenges that rain brings—particularly for conservatories with polycarbonate roofs.

How Much Rain Has Fallen So Far?

The South of England has experienced above-average rainfall for January, with some areas seeing over 100mm in just a few weeks. This volume of water can quickly turn a cosy conservatory into a cacophony of sound. The increase in rainfall highlights the need for a quiet conservatory roof that allows you to enjoy the space, rain or shine.

The Sound of Rain on a Polycarbonate Roof

Polycarbonate roofs, while lightweight and cost-effective, have a reputation for amplifying the sound of rain. To put it into perspective:

  • Light Rain: Equivalent to a quiet conversation, around 30 dB.
  • Moderate Rain: Similar to the hum of a dishwasher, about 50 dB.
  • Heavy Rain: Comparable to a vacuum cleaner or a bustling office, reaching 70 dB.
  • Torrential Downpour: As loud as a lawnmower or motorcycle, around 85 dB or more.

For many conservatory owners, the relentless drumming of rain on polycarbonate panels can turn a relaxing space into an overwhelming and noisy environment. In fact, it’s almost impossible to have a sensible telephone conversation in a conservatory during heavy rain, as the noise can drown out voices and make communication frustrating. If this resonates with you, it may be time to consider a conservatory roof replacement.

Why Consider a LEKA Warm Roof?

If you're tired of the deafening roar of rain, there’s a solution that transforms your conservatory into a peaceful retreat, no matter the weather: the LEKA Warm Roof. Here’s why it’s worth considering:

  1. Noise Reduction: Unlike polycarbonate or glass roofs, the LEKA Warm Roof uses insulated materials and innovative GRP frameworks that dramatically reduce the sound of rain. To compare:
    • A polycarbonate roof under heavy rain sounds like a bustling office or lawnmower at 70-85 dB.
    • A LEKA Warm Roof reduces rain noise significantly, making it akin to the soft hum of a quiet library (around 30 dB). This makes it the ideal choice for homeowners seeking a quiet conservatory roof.
  2. Thermal Efficiency: The LEKA Warm Roof is not only quieter but also thermally efficient, keeping your conservatory warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. This adds comfort and energy savings to your home.
  3. Aesthetic Appeal: With a range of plastered or UPVC ceiling options and fixed skylights, the LEKA Warm Roof enhances the appearance of your conservatory while delivering functional benefits.
  4. Adaptability to Rainfall in South England: Given the above-average rainfall in South England in 2025, a thermally efficient and soundproof roof solution like LEKA is a practical and worthwhile upgrade.

A New Perspective for Conservatory Owners

The consistent rain this year may be a sign that it’s time to rethink your conservatory roof. By upgrading to a LEKA Warm Roof, you’ll not only enjoy a quieter space but also benefit from improved insulation and a beautiful new design. No more shouting over the sound of heavy rain or cringing at every downpour—just a calm, comfortable environment to enjoy year-round.
