Lidget Compton

What Lidget Compton does

Lidget Compton Ltd. is a Yorkshire-based, family-owned manufacturer of sectional concrete garages, sheds and garden buildings, founded in 1990 and headquartered at the Lidget Lane Industrial Estate in Thurnscoe, Rotherham. Its products are prefabricated in-house from reinforced concrete panels using proprietary designs — including the GB2455317 patented factory-applied Brick & Stone wall finishes — combined with galvanised steel C-section rafters and roof systems spanning fibre-cement, galvanised steel and Metrotile pantile profiles. The range spans Pent, Pent Mansard, Apex, Apex 15, Apex 20, Apex 90 and Lean-To shapes, extending into Extra High, Double, Battery, Highliner and Park Home variants as well as a Bespoke Design&Build service, with personnel doors, garage doors, windows and wall finishes supplied as configurable accessories.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time sales of complete buildings, supplied and installed by Lidget Compton's own fleet, and channelled via a nationwide network of over 130 authorised agents and direct phone/website enquiry. Pricing is quote-based for full buildings, with unit-priced spare parts and accessories sold through an online shop; refurbishment services and an Introducer-arrangement consumer finance partnership with Ideal4Finance provide recurring and conversion-supporting revenue streams. Customers are predominantly UK residential homeowners, alongside park-home site operators and commercial/development clients purchasing multi-unit battery garage installations, with the company self-positioning as the largest and market-leading player in the UK concrete sectional garage sector.
