An apex garage takes its name from the distinctive V-shaped roof, a popular pitched design that’s graced British properties for many generations. But apart from the traditional good looks, this triangular profile serves a practical purpose.
Rain and snow slide straight off the angled surfaces, eliminating the pooling problems that plague flat roofs, while the peaked centre gives you plenty of headroom, making these structures genuinely usable for more than just parking.
From secure vehicle storage to workshops and overflow storage, apex garages provide the durability and flexibility modern households often need. Our Lidget Compton range offers multiple sizes, door styles, window options, and finishes to match your exact requirements.
The pitched roof of an apex garage really earns its keep in British weather. The angle forces water to run off immediately rather than sitting around looking for gaps to exploit. Snow can’t build up either, as the slope naturally sheds weight before it becomes a problem.
The apex peak creates an abundance of much-needed space. You can stand upright down the centre line, making these garages comfortable to work in. Many owners install storage platforms in the roof space, using every cubic foot available.
Apex garages suit almost any property style. The pitched roofline echoes traditional British architecture, sitting naturally alongside houses rather than looking like an afterthought.
Hot air rises to the peak and can escape through ridge vents, while cooler air enters below. This natural circulation reduces condensation, preventing damp problems that ruin stored items.
Lidget Compton apex garages use reinforced concrete construction that laughs at the elements. Fire can’t touch it. Termites ignore it. Rot isn’t possible. You’re looking at 50+ years of solid service.
Each sectional panel contains steel reinforcement embedded in high-strength concrete. Walls resist everything from accidental knocks to break-in attempts. Fire resistance comes built in, which is crucial if you’re storing fuel or using power tools.
Roof pitch varies by model. Steeper angles shed water faster and provide more height. Material options range from corrugated steel to tile-effect systems. All include anti-condensation treatments.
Our single apex garages start from 8ft x 6ft, with most people opting for 10ft x 16ft or larger. Double apex garages begin around 14ft wide. Lidget Compton manufactures up to 26ft x 28ft as standard, with bespoke sizes available.
- Up-and-Over Doors: Hörmann canopy doors with multi-point locking
- Personnel Doors: 3ft wide for quick access without opening the main door
- Roller Shutter Doors: Electric operation suits restricted sites
The PVCu windows on our apex garages need zero maintenance while providing great security. Most Lidget Compton apex garages include one window free, positioned exactly where you want it.

Apex garages are built for security. Reinforced concrete panels resist break-ins, while deep-bolted door frames and multi-point locking make forced entry tough without specialist tools. There’s plenty of space for your car and extra storage, all kept safe from opportunists.
If you want extra peace of mind, PIR security lighting floods the area when anyone approaches, while our optional alarm systems alert you to any tampering attempts that may occur.

Your apex garage requires a level, reinforced concrete base that’s slightly larger than the building. You can use your own contractor, or we can provide specs and recommend trusted groundwork specialists. Prefer a hands-off approach? We can handle the whole base construction at a competitive rate.
Lidget Compton’s own factory-trained teams handle your installation. Most single-apex garages go up in just one day, minimising disruption to your routine. They load at the factory, deliver to your home, and build on-site with their own equipment.
Articulated lorries will deliver all apex garages, free of charge (to most areas). Check site access early, as overhead cables and narrow gates may cause problems!
We supply Lidget Compton exclusively because they are extremely well-designed and properly engineered. The 10-year warranty tells part of the story, although our apex garages should last for generations.
With over 60 standard apex garage sizes available, you will find the perfect fit, from compact 8ft x 6ft to substantial 26ft x 28ft doubles.
If you can’t find your exact dimensions, Lidget Compton’s bespoke manufacturing creates apex garages designed especially for awkward plots or specific requirements.
Choose your roof pitch, pick from smooth render, brick-effect, stone-effect, or textured Garaclad claddings. Mix and match options until it’s exactly right.
With almost half a century in the business, our sales team includes qualified joiners and builders who’ve actually installed these garages.
Got questions about planning permission? Unsure about sizing? Worried about that sloping garden? They’ve seen it all before.
