Not all sectional concrete garages have the same specification or level of service. Our 1st Choice concrete garages are manufactured by Lidget Compton, one of the UK's longest-established concrete garage manufacturers, and combine robust interlocking concrete panels with extensive design choices, professional installation and a 10-year structural guarantee.
When comparing concrete garages, look beyond the headline price. Panel construction, roof specification, doors, windows, finishes, installation, warranty and available support can all make a significant difference to the finished building and overall cost.
| Feature | 1st Choice / Lidget Compton | Other Concrete Garages |
|---|---|---|
| Concrete construction | Extra-thick interlocking precast concrete panels | Panel thickness and construction vary by manufacturer |
| Guarantee | 10-year structural guarantee | Length and terms vary between suppliers |
| Installation | Professional assembly included in applicable delivery areas | May be included or charged separately |
| Delivery | Included across applicable mainland delivery areas | Check whether delivery is included in the quoted price |
| Roof choices | Pent and several apex-style options available | Choice varies by manufacturer and range |
| Exterior finishes | Spar plus optional brick, stone and textured finishes | Finish choices vary considerably |
| Customisation | Doors, windows, roof styles, finishes and other options available | Options depend on supplier and model |
| Base service | Concrete base-building service available | May need to be arranged separately |
| Site survey | Site survey option available | Availability varies by supplier |
| See before buying | Concrete garages can be viewed at our Surrey display site | Some suppliers are online-only or have limited displays |
| Why choose it? | A complete garage package backed by an established manufacturer and experienced retailer | May suit customers where a particular supplier, local service or specification better meets their requirements |
Specifications and services vary between manufacturers and individual garage models. Always compare like-for-like quotations and check exactly what is included before ordering.
A concrete garage is about more than somewhere to park a car. Depending on the size and specification, it can provide secure space for vehicles, motorcycles, tools, garden machinery, household storage, DIY projects or a practical workshop.
A concrete garage could be right for you if strength, security and long-term practicality are more important than simply finding the cheapest garden building. Precast sectional construction provides a substantial building without requiring a traditionally built brick garage, while the wide choice of sizes allows the space to be designed around your vehicle, storage or workshop requirements.
It can also make sense if your requirements may change. A garage initially purchased for a car can later provide useful space for motorcycles, bicycles, tools, DIY projects, garden equipment or general household storage.
| What to Compare | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Complete installed price | A cheap headline price may look less attractive once delivery and assembly charges are added |
| Concrete panels | Check panel construction and thickness rather than assuming all sectional garages are identical |
| Garage door | Check its type, size and specification and whether your preferred door is standard or an upgrade |
| Roof | Roof material, style and condensation control can affect appearance and everyday usability |
| Windows & personnel doors | Useful additions can significantly affect the final quotation if they are not included |
| Exterior finish | Spar, brick-effect, stone and textured finishes create very different appearances |
| Guarantee | Check its length, what it covers and whether there are important exclusions |
| Base requirements | A suitable flat, level concrete base is essential and its cost should be included in your overall budget |
| After-sales support | A concrete garage is a long-term purchase, so manufacturer and retailer support can be important |
1st Choice has supplied garden buildings since 1979 and has extensive experience with Lidget Compton concrete garages. Our service is designed to help with the complete project rather than simply supplying a set of concrete panels.
You can discuss the garage size, roof, doors, windows and finishes with us, arrange a site survey where appropriate and ask about our concrete base-building service. You can also visit our Surrey display site to inspect examples of concrete garages and construction options before deciding.
1st Choice could be particularly suitable if you want advice and support as well as the garage itself. This can be valuable if you are unsure about the required size, base, access, planning considerations or which optional features will genuinely benefit you.
Our Lidget Compton garages also include a 10-year structural guarantee, and free assembly and delivery are included in applicable mainland areas, helping make it easier to compare the real installed cost rather than just the initial advertised price.
| Your Priority | Why Consider 1st Choice |
|---|---|
| Car or motorcycle storage | Robust concrete construction and a wide choice of sizes |
| Garage and workshop combined | Larger configurations provide room for vehicles, benches, tools and equipment |
| Long-term ownership | Low-maintenance concrete walls and a 10-year structural guarantee |
| Custom appearance | Choice of roof styles, doors and exterior finishes |
| Complete installation | Professional assembly included in applicable delivery areas |
| Need a new concrete base | Base-building service available |

Do not compare concrete garages on price alone. Compare the complete building, panel construction, roof, doors, windows, finish, guarantee, delivery, installation and support included in the quotation.

Browse our concrete garages to compare styles and specifications or arrange a visit to our concrete garage display site.

The cost of a concrete garage depends primarily on its size, roof design, doors, windows, external finish and optional extras.
Our Lidget Compton concrete garage range currently starts from £5,037, while larger double garages and highly customised designs will cost more.
When you’re looking at concrete garage prices, make sure you’re comparing like for like. Some lower prices might look tempting at first, but delivery, fitting and other bits you need can soon bump the final price up.
For an accurate price, tell us the approximate garage size you require, your postcode and how you intend to use the building. We can then recommend suitable models and options and prepare a quotation.
A concrete garage should provide enough room for the vehicle itself as well as comfortable access around it.
A single concrete garage may be suitable if you primarily need secure parking for one vehicle. Choosing additional width can make it easier to open car doors and provide useful storage space along the sides.
A double concrete garage provides considerably more flexibility and can accommodate two vehicles or combine vehicle storage with a workshop, motorcycle area, garden equipment or general household storage.
If you are unsure about the dimensions, consider what you may want from the garage in five or ten years rather than simply choosing the smallest building that accommodates your current car.
We can help you determine a suitable size based on your available space and intended use.
When choosing a concrete garage, one of the main decisions is whether to go for a pent or apex roof. Both give you a strong, secure and long-lasting garage, so it really comes down to the look you prefer, the space you have available and how you plan to use it.
A pent concrete garage has a single-slope roof and provides a simple, practical appearance. Pent models can be an excellent choice where overall building height is a consideration or where you prefer a more understated roofline.
An apex concrete garage has a traditional pitched roof with the ridge running along the centre of the building. Many homeowners choose an apex design because its appearance complements traditional residential properties.
Neither design is universally better. The right choice depends on the appearance you prefer, the dimensions of your site, your chosen specification and any planning or permitted-development considerations.
Your garage does not have to be an off-the-shelf building. Lidget Compton concrete garages can be configured in numerous sizes and specifications, allowing you to create a building suited to your property and how you intend to use it.
Options can include:
If a standard garage does not suit your site, explore the Lidget concrete garage customisation options or speak to us about a suitable bespoke specification.
The specification of your garage can make a significant difference to both its appearance and everyday usability.
A roller garage door or alternative garage door can be particularly useful where driveway space is limited because a roller door opens vertically rather than swinging outwards. Personnel doors can provide convenient everyday access without opening the main garage door.
Windows can introduce natural daylight if the garage will also be used as a workshop, while different concrete garage cladding and external finishes allow the building to complement better your house and surroundings.
Our team can help you select practical options without unnecessarily increasing the specification or cost.
A concrete garage requires a suitable, level base capable of supporting the structure correctly.
The quality and dimensions of the base are important because inaccuracies at foundation level can create problems when the garage is assembled.
1st Choice can advise on the base requirements for your selected Lidget Compton garage and can also arrange professional concrete base construction where required. Our guide to building a Lidget concrete garage explains why preparing a level, square and correctly sized foundation is an important part of the installation.
We recommend confirming the exact garage dimensions and base specification before carrying out foundation work.
Many domestic garages in England can be built under permitted development rights, provided the proposed building satisfies the relevant requirements.
Whether planning permission is required can depend on factors including the garage’s height and position, its proximity to property boundaries, the amount of land covered by buildings, whether it is positioned forward of the principal elevation, whether the property is listed, whether the property is within designated land and whether permitted development rights have previously been restricted or removed.
Planning rules can vary according to the property and proposed building, so you should confirm the position applicable to your project before ordering. Individual concrete garage specifications also provide information on building dimensions and available roof styles that may be relevant when considering planning requirements.

There’s plenty of choice with Lidget Compton garages, so it’s usually quite straightforward to find something that suits the space you’ve got and what you want to use it for.
Some of the main benefits include:
They’re not just for keeping the car in, either. We see plenty of customers using concrete garages as workshops, hobby rooms or simply somewhere secure and dry to keep tools, garden machinery and other bits and pieces.
1st Choice Leisure Buildings has been helping customers choose garden buildings and garages since 1979.
We don’t simply display garage specifications online. Customers can speak to an experienced team about dimensions, site requirements, bases, access, specifications and installation before placing an order.
We have supplied thousands of Lidget Compton garages and can help you avoid common mistakes such as choosing insufficient internal space, specifying an unsuitable door arrangement or preparing an incorrectly sized base.
If you would prefer to see a concrete garage before ordering, visit our Surrey garden building and concrete garage show centre at Sutton Green, near Guildford in Surrey.

Our team can also discuss your proposed site and provide guidance on suitable models and options.
Our Lidget Compton concrete garages currently start from £5,037. The final price depends on dimensions, roof design, doors, windows, finishes and optional extras. Larger double garages and bespoke specifications will normally cost more.
Our Lidget Compton garages are professionally assembled on site. You can see how the main stages of installation work in our concrete garage construction and installation guide. Check the quotation for the exact delivery and installation arrangements applicable to your location and chosen specification.
A correctly installed and maintained sectional concrete garage is designed as a long-term building. Its actual service life depends on factors including the base, specification, exposure, drainage and maintenance. Lidget Compton garages are supplied with a 10-year guarantee, subject to the manufacturer’s applicable terms.
Concrete wall panels provide a robust structure, while overall security also depends on the doors, windows and locking systems selected. Additional security and garage door and access options can be considered when specifying your garage.
Yes. Roller garage doors are available on suitable Lidget Compton garage configurations. They can be especially useful where driveway space is limited because the door opens vertically. See our concrete garage door options for more information.
Yes. Depending on the chosen design, windows and personnel access doors can be incorporated into the garage specification and positioned to suit your intended use. See the available Lidget garage windows, doors and optional extras.
Yes. 1st Choice can provide a concrete base service for customers who require the site to be professionally prepared. The base should be constructed to the correct dimensions and specification for the garage being ordered. Our Lidget garage building guide explains the importance of a flat, square and level base.
Not always. Many domestic garages can fall within permitted development rights, but this depends on the size, height, position and circumstances of the property. Always check the requirements applying to your particular project before construction.
They serve different requirements. Concrete is often chosen for permanent vehicle storage, security and low routine maintenance. Timber can offer a different appearance and may be preferred where aesthetics or a garden-room style building is the priority. The better choice depends on how the building will be used.
Concrete garages generally provide a more substantial wall construction and a different appearance from lightweight metal garages. Metal buildings can be appropriate where initial cost or particular uses are the priority. Consider security, condensation, insulation, appearance, lifespan and intended use when comparing them.
Yes. A concrete garage can be configured to provide vehicle storage and workshop space, or primarily as a workshop. Additional width, windows, personnel access and other Lidget garage options can make the building considerably more practical for this purpose.
Choosing the right concrete garage is easier when you start with the space available and how you intend to use it.
Tell us your postcode, approximate required dimensions and whether you need a single garage, double garage, workshop or combined space. We can help you compare suitable Lidget Compton concrete garage models, specifications and options.
