Frequently asked questions
Garage Bases
Can my base be - Paving slabs? - Block paving? - Tarmac?
No, it must be concrete. A typical garage will weigh from 3 - 4 tons, and any building is only as good as its foundations. The base should be designed to suit local soil conditions. Consult your local Compton agent or builder (see what size base?).
My existing garage (timber, corrugated iron, Timber framed asbestos) didn't have a concrete base, so why do I need one for your garage?
Same as above - these garages are nowhere near as heavy as our garages, and so you could get away with lighter foundations. For a concrete garage, a concrete base, designed to suit local soil conditions, is essential. It needs to be flat and level as the panels we use are rectangular, and cannot be bent to fit a base out of level!
