Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the original financial statements were authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “In August 2025 the company refinanced its bank loans with the company's existing bankers, replacing the existing three loans as disclosed in note 19 to the financial statements with five separate loan floating rate 5 year loan facilities totalling £23,375,000, and reducing its overdraft facility from £5,250,000 to £1,750,000.”
- “On 1 July 2025 the company hived over its Aggregates Muckaway and Concrete (AMC) business into its fellow subsidiary, Hopkins Industries Limited, the consideration for which was credited to the intercompany account.”
