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

- “This year's accounts continue to include a cost of £1.15 million (first incurred in the accounts for the year ending 31st December 2022) to replace all of the shower floors on our previously completed Marble Arch Place project.
