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
“The company has continued to trade profitably after the balance sheet date and expects this to continue for the foreseeable future. The Directors have reviewed the company forecasts through to October 2026 to assess the level of finance required. In their consideration of going concern, the Directors have reviewed the cash forecasts and revenue projections, which they believe are based on prudent market data and past experience. Forecasts for the year to October 2026 show that the company will remain profitable, there is sufficient headroom in the available funding facility to continue as a going concern, and meet its liabilities as they fall due.”
Significant events
- “The financial year ending 2025 was seen as an extremely challenging year for UK manufacturing and the home improvement market was adversely affected by the wider economic climate. A significant increase in the government's minimum wage and NI structure.”
- “We have invested in factory and site refurbishment to ensure we are prepared for the future and ensure a pleasant workspace for colleagues and improve manufacturing efficiencies.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
