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

Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Sterling Grove Accountants Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“After reviewing the company's forecasts and projections, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue to trade as a going concern for the foreseeable future, and therefore they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the company financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The introduction of the Building Safety Act 2022 has significantly reduced the release of work in our specialised area: groundworks and concrete frames for high-rise residential buildings. Regulatory delays in project approvals, which began to affect operations at the end of 2024 are still prominent throughout 2025.”
- “The company's continued commitment to reducing its carbon footprint and overall environmental impact is shown by obtaining ISO 50001 this year. This was a large undertaking but one the company is very much committed to.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
