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
- Richard Place Dobson Services Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The financial year ended 31 March 2025 was marked by the continuation of challenging trading conditions first experienced in the latter half of the previous year. Ongoing project delays, market uncertainty, and the delay or postponement of construction projects primarily drove these challenges.”
- “Over the past 12 months, the UK construction industry has experienced a period of subdued activity, largely due to persistent economic pressures. High interest rates, rising labour and energy costs, and increasing complexity in planning regulations have continued to dampen confidence and hinder project starts.”
- “Positively, the casing of materials inflation and the stabilisation of supply chains led to normalised product availability and, conversely, healthier stock levels.”
- “On 27 March 2025, VARN Group Ltd became the ultimate controlling party of Southern Sheeting Supplies Limited as it acquired 100% of the company's issued share capital.”
