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

- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- HJS Accountants 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 year 2024 to 2025 has seen a reduction in turnover from the previous year however this has resulted in an increase in net profits.”
- “Going forward we anticipate a continued increase in turnover and profits, with our overheads under control and maintaining solid partnerships with our suppliers and sub-contractors and we look forward to more success in the new trading year.”
- “Our risks and uncertainties for the next 12 months as with all other businesses will be fuel and energy which will affect all costs be it materials, energy or labour. Our pricing therefore becomes much more critical.”
- “whilst turnover has reduced from year March 2024 this was in line with our forecast. We have seen a settling of the turbulent market and supply chain costs experienced in the last few years and this will hold us in good stead going forward.”
- “The company has a solid forward order book and the prospects for this year in terms of growth and profit appear much stronger.”
