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 financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “Due to uncertainties in the economy and difficult trading conditions in construction sector, Company's turnover decreased from £8.3m in 2023 to £6.4m in 2024. Increase in wages costs and general inflation decreased gross margins from 42% in 2023 to 33% in 2024, resulting in operating losses of £912k (2023: operating profits £180k).”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
