Why Are Compton Garages So Popular?

13/11/2023

Compton garages are very popular throughout the United Kingdom and particularly in Edinburgh and the surrounding areas. Founded in the early 20th century by engineer Harold Compton, the company merged with Lidget Concrete in the late 20th century and became known as Lidget Compton. This merger was a winning combination, blending Compton’s reputation for quality garages with Lidget’s expertise in concrete. The new company became renowned for its new innovative approach to constructing garages and other structures using durable prefabricated structures.

The COVID-19 lockdown has changed the way we live our lives. Current social distancing rules mean that we can’t meet up with others indoors like we used to.

Asbestos garage roof in Edinburgh

If you suspect that your leaking garage roof contains asbestos you may be worried about the cost and hassle of repairing or replacing it. However, this is not an unusual problem as asbestos garage roofs are very common in Scotland. Asbestos was a very popular building material in the 1960s and 1970s and was still used in cement roofing panels right up until the 1990s.

storm damage to garage roof in Edinburgh

The full force of storm Hector hit Scotland on 14th June 2018 with gusts of wind reaching up to 100mph in exposed areas. Several roads and rail routes were blocked by fallen branches and worse still, a woman in Edinburgh was left hurt by a loose slate that had been blown from a tenement roof. High winds are extremely dangerous which is why it is always worth taking the time to check that your garage roof is securely fasten down and is not rattling around. If screws have come loose or are missing, the wind can get beneath loose panels and quickly rip them off turning them into lethal flying objects.
