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 directors' 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 financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “The Group profit and loss account reports a decrease in turnover of £1.51m or 23% (£5.01m FY25 versus £6.52m FY24). This decline reflects the lower demand for architectural stone, which has remained weak since Covid. The pipeline for high foot traffic projects such as transit hubs, public buildings, and commercial facilities remains subdued, as hybrid working continues to reduce corporate investment in new office space.”
• “Despite the current downturn on Architectural products, our roofing markets remain strong and accounted for 63% of the total turnover figure in 2025.”
• “The challenges posed by low-cost overseas imports and the increasing use of manufactured products remain significant, as recognised by our lower Architectural sales in 2025. However, Burlington's reputation for quality, rooted in the superior nature of Lake District stone, our sustainable practices, and our dedication to service, continues to drive customer loyalty.”
• “Burlington Slate Limited continues to enjoy the support of the wider Holker Group, which remains confident in Burlington's ability to improve results and return to profitability in 2026/27.”
• “Burlington Slate Limited is reviewing its production processes, seeking to enhance efficiency and deliver a lower carbon footprint too. We continue to pursue markets for Terrazzo tiles, made from slate chips, which are eco-friendly, durable and cost-effective and compliment the higher value 100% Slate products offered.”
• “The business strategy is to continue with the sustainable development of Kirkby Quarry. This will enhance the availability of high-quality raw materials, increase efficiency, whilst achieving long-term sustainability and the ability to expand into new markets.”
• “Burlington remains focused on utilising 100% of extracted stone, whilst creativity, service and quality will always be key to the protection of Burlington's heritage and the development of potential.”
