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

Significant events
- “During the year operating activities produced a profit before tax of £3,657,928 (2024: £1,400,800). Turnover increased to £38,321,317 (2024: £6,635,658) primarily reflecting the natural phasing of development projects and completions during the year, leading to a reduction in the value held in stock and works in progress.”
- “On 1 September 2025 our auditors, Ensors Accountants LLP, merged with Azets Audit Services Limited. Accordingly Ensors Accountants LLP formally resigned as the company's auditors with the directors duly appointing Azets Audit Services Limited, trading as Ensors to fill the vacancy arising.”
