An asbestos garage roof is a hazard that gets worse with age. Cracked, crumbling or weathered asbestos cement sheeting needs to be removed properly and replaced with a durable modern system. At Weather Shield North West, we handle everything: safe removal, correct disposal and a quality new roof, all in one visit.
The corrugated and flat cement sheeting used on garage roofs across Bolton and Greater Manchester contains asbestos. While intact sheets pose a lower risk, cracked or deteriorating material can release fibres – and any disturbance without the correct procedures makes it significantly more dangerous.
We remove asbestos cement garage roofs using the correct methods, containment measures and protective equipment. All waste is double-bagged, labelled and collected by a licensed carrier, and you receive documentation confirming compliant disposal.
We carry out non-licensed asbestos cement removal in line with current regulations. We do not handle higher-risk asbestos materials such as insulation or lagging – if your property contains these, we'll point you in the right direction.

Once the old asbestos roof is safely removed, we install a modern replacement system built for the Great British weather. We offer two tried-and-tested options:
Steel roofing – robust, rigid and long-lasting, with a clean profile that suits most garage styles.
EPDM rubber roofing – a seamless, fully waterproof membrane that's highly durable and virtually maintenance-free.
Both systems are professionally fitted, and we replace fascias and guttering as part of the job for a complete, finished result.

If your garage was built before 2000, there’s a strong chance the roof contains asbestos cement sheeting. Over time, weathering and physical damage cause the material to degrade – and once it begins to crack or crumble, the risk of fibre release increases significantly.
Common signs that your garage roof needs attention include visible cracking or breakage, dark staining or moss growth, active leaks, and sheets that are visibly bowing or lifting. In many cases, homeowners don’t realise the extent of the deterioration until they look closely.
The safest course of action is always full removal and replacement by trained operatives who follow the correct procedures from start to finish.
We keep everything straightforward from the first call through to the finished job. We’ll assess your garage roof and give you clear, honest advice on what’s needed – with no obligation to proceed.
On the day, our team safely removes the asbestos cement sheeting using the correct containment and protective measures, then installs your new steel or EPDM roof system. Fascias and guttering are replaced as standard, leaving your garage clean, weathertight and ready to use.
All asbestos waste is correctly packaged and taken to an authorised disposal facility. You receive full documentation confirming compliant removal – so you have complete peace of mind and a proper paper trail if you ever come to sell.

I’m extremely happy with the window work that was done. The crew was professional, on time, and paid great attention to detail. The windows look amazing—clean, clear, and perfectly finished. They respected my home, cleaned up after themselves, and made the whole process easy from start to finish. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing new windows.

We had our conservatory roof internally cladded by Weather Shield North West Ltd and it’s one of the best home improvements we have ever made. The price was fair the materials used top quality and the fitting crew were extremely professional and did a fantastic job with a great craftsman finish. It’s been a great investment turning our conservatory into an all round the year room. Cant recommend them enough.

Weather Shield North West have just completed insulating the inside of the conservatory roof in one day. The work done is excellent. The guys who fitted and also the electrician were outstanding. They were respectful and polite from start to finish. They also cleared all the waste materials and they cleaned up the little mess that was made. My wife and I cannot praise them highly enough. Thanks for the efficient planning from the very beginning. We had been worried that the work would make the conservatory darker, but we are happy that it hasn't. It has made the conservatory look much more modern. Thanks very much. Very highly recommended!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Weather Shield in Bolton for some home improvement projects, and I must say they are truly the best in the business. From start to finish, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. The initial consultation was thorough and detailed, with the team taking the time to listen to my needs and preferences before coming up with a comprehensive plan for the project. They were able to provide me with a variety of options and recommendations to suit my budget and style, which I greatly appreciated. The installation process was seamless, with the crew working quickly and efficiently to complete the project in a timely manner. The quality of their work was exceptional, and I was thrilled with the end result. The attention to detail and craftsmanship was evident in every aspect of the project, from the materials used to the finishing touches. Overall, I cannot recommend Weather Shield in Bolton highly enough. Their professionalism, expertise, and dedication to customer satisfaction truly set them apart from other home improvement companies. If you are looking for top-notch service and results, look no further than Weather Shield.

Here are the questions we're most commonly asked by homeowners and landlords across Bolton and Greater Manchester. If your question isn't here, just get in touch.
No. Removing higher-risk asbestos materials without a licence is a legal offence in the UK. Even lower-risk tasks require proper training, risk assessment and correct protective equipment.
Any building built or refurbished before the year 2000 may contain asbestos. A professional survey and laboratory sample test is the only reliable way to confirm its presence.
No. UK regulations divide asbestos work into three categories: licensed, notifiable non-licensed and non-licensed – each with different legal requirements based on the risk level of the materials involved.
All asbestos waste must be double-bagged, sealed and labelled, then transported by a licensed carrier to an authorised hazardous waste disposal facility. You should receive documentation confirming compliant disposal.
Timescales vary depending on the size and complexity of the job. Smaller domestic removals such as a garage roof are typically completed within a day, while larger or more complex projects may take longer.
Based in Bolton, we carry out installations across Greater Manchester and Lancashire, including Bury, Wigan, Stockport, Preston, Rochdale, Oldham, Salford, Chorley and Blackburn. As a FENSA-registered installer, every window and door we fit is fully certified, compliant and insurance-backed.
