EPDM rubber roofing has become the go-to flat roofing solution for UK homeowners and businesses. It's built to handle everything the British weather throws at it – rain, frost, UV and wind – with minimal upkeep required over its working life. As Permaroof-trained installers using Firestone systems, we're qualified to offer a level of warranty protection that most local roofers simply can't match.

If your garage, extension, garden room or outbuilding is still covered in felt, you’re likely dealing with a material that will need replacing every 10–15 years. Cracking, bubbling and seam failures are common complaints with older felt systems – and every replacement means more disruption and more expense.
EPDM changes that equation entirely. Installed as a single continuous sheet with far fewer joints, it resists UV degradation, sheds water reliably and holds its elasticity through decades of freeze-thaw cycles – everything the North West climate demands of a flat roof. And because our installers are trained and approved by Permaroof, the UK’s main Firestone distributor, we can back every installation with a 25-year manufacturer’s membrane warranty. That’s a level of protection that’s only available through a Permaroof-approved installer.
Weather Shield North West has been protecting homes and commercial properties across Bolton and Greater Manchester since 2019. We know how the region’s weather behaves, and we specify and install every Firestone EPDM system to handle it properly.
Our installers are trained through Permaroof, ensuring every job meets the standard required to qualify for the 25-year membrane warranty. We carry out EPDM installations across a wide range of applications – garages, extensions, dormers, garden rooms, outbuildings, conservatories and commercial roofing projects of all sizes.
From initial survey through to final inspection, every job is carried out with care and backed by our workmanship guarantee. Whatever the structure, you’ll get a clean, professional finish built to last.

Weather Shield North West Ltd. did an outstanding job for my mother-in-law in Bury. They replaced an old cathedral roof on her conservatory with a new solid roof. The tradesmen were first rate, friendly and competent. The quality of the job is better than we could have wished for. The price was highly competitive as well. Everything about this job was great and I recommend this company unreservedly.

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.

Had 6 windows and back door fitted. Josh and Johnny were excellent. Very quick and efficient. The work is very neat and tidy. Cleared the mess up after themselves and are a couple of nice fellas. More than happy with the results. Would recommend this company to family and friends and would certainly use them again for any future work.

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!

Thinking about replacing your flat roof with EPDM? Here are the answers to the questions we hear most from homeowners across Bolton and Greater Manchester.
A properly installed EPDM roof typically lasts 25 to 50 years. Longevity depends on membrane thickness, installation quality and routine maintenance.
Yes. EPDM remains flexible between -40°C and 150°C, making it well-suited to the UK's freeze-thaw cycles, heavy rain and variable temperatures.
EPDM outlasts felt by decades and costs less than fibreglass. It offers an excellent balance of durability, weather resistance and long-term value for most flat roofs.
Very little. An annual inspection to check for debris or minor surface damage is usually sufficient to keep the system watertight and performing correctly.
In some cases, yes – if the underlying deck is structurally sound and dry. A survey is always needed first to confirm the deck condition before any overlay is considered.
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.
