A Case Study: Mr. Perkins, Surrey Lean-to

We know that Mr Perkins was delighted with our recent installation since he couldn’t wait to tell us so. Things didn’t start too well since the door wasn’t left unlocked and despite the roof being boarded, we did manage to get inside (with the customers blessing of course!). With the boards and the felt removed we were very fortunate to have found remaining roof supports were set at distances far less than the span of a roof sheet so adding purlins was not necessary. Our office had suggested early on that an anthracite coloured roof with matching flashings would be complimentary to the pro ..read more

Asbestos Awareness

We take the welfare of our employees very seriously which we why from the outset we have implemented training and protocols in order to reduce the risks associated with long-term exposure to asbestos. Since our work is considered non-licensable our adherence to this strict worker protection program may not be as rigorously followed by others. Roofing work will lead to contact with cement bonded ‘Chrysotile’ or white asbestos, but you won’t find us working with anything ‘friable’ meaning that is easily crumbled by hand such as ceiling tiles or sprayed on insulation. Any exposure to the asbestos ..read more

Asbestos roof disposal is the new Wild West and they’re of plenty of firms deploying double glazing salesman tactics. Frankly, there’s no excuse for not obtaining some basic online price comparisons. The above-mentioned firms are in our opinion no different to Double Glazing outfits which prey on the old and less well informed. Brandishing 25yr warranties, one company lasted just 18 months before they ceased trading. One-man bands are no better putting their work to the lowest bidder. We’ve a former employee who has traded under various guises in recent years assumingly he has something to hid ..read more

Phil Hamberger approached us on 30th December, but that didn’t stop us delivering his quote within hours of its arrival and beginning a dialog from 2nd January. This Compton Viceroy Apex garage was requiring a complete makeover which included a half-glazed door to agreed designs plus window and fascias. We arrived onsite with the fascias preassembled and the roofing cut to size. The Van Dyke Brown roof is very complimentary to the Rockstone walls and this Nineties garage has now been safely catapulted into the 21st Century.

What a change of this Compton Apex Building. A roof once tired, grotty, miserable and rotten is rejuvenated into this gleaming terracotta red roof. The ridge tiles that were once missing have now been replaced with something much more durable and a new foam filler securely secured top and bottom. This building had no guttering, so some was added which included the galvanised brackets unique to #comptonspares and the tatty barge boards were replaced with maintenance-free items for lasting longevity. All of a sudden Prescot, Merseyside has just become a little brighter. The post What ..read more

Our client had already brought up their frustration with the current bitumen-based roofing with condensation so bad that they had given to parking the car outside. There also remained traces of the original asbestos boarding which required addressing. Given photos and external dimensions we arrived with pre-cut roofing sheets and ridge tile ‘cranked’ to the correct angles. Also onboard were extra-length barge boards, vent foam fillers, caps and fastenings. All our vehicles are equipped with Personal Protective Equipment and all-weather clothing (the latter being a good thing since the heavens ..read more

We were contacted by this client from Yeovil after his neighbours’ tree came crashing through his workshop. We provided assistance with the insurance claim and it wasn’t long before we authorised to proceed. A site survey found that steelwork required replacement and measurements passed to our fabricators. The roof went back together seamlessly and this time around translucent roof sheets were added for good measure. The post “I love it when a plan comes together”. appeared first on Compton Garage Specialists ..read more

You don’t have to own a Compton Buildings to benefit from repairs by Compton Spares dot com Let’s not be judgemental, but this building was pushed from the inside out. The smaller pink and brown Canterbury spar chippings would have you believe that this was a Compton Garage, but the bolt fixings tell another story. A lasting repair was achieved by replacing the entire rear wall with panels from a popular brand. Would it be rude to call someone’s garage scruffy? Well, this shabby looking lean-to structure was long overdue an overhaul. What is particularly impressive is the belt and bra ..read more

Take a step back and say just wow! Yes, this project was by far our largest for the first quarter of 2019 and required a team effort to coordinate the emptying and safe removal of the existing buildings. A neighbour had backed her car into two buildings of the eight buildings and the damage inflicted was severe. These buildings had to be propped up and the rear concrete lintel was hanging precariously into the adjoining garden. What’s more, these buildings were old, and the roofs did contain traces of asbestos. Three vans, six men plus the Gaffer arrived early on a Wednesday morning and saw th ..read more
