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.

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have at the time of approving the financial statements, 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. The directors have considered the factors that impact the company's future financial performance, cash flows and financial position, along with the company's current liquidity in forming their conclusion on the applicability of the going concern basis. As the company's current liabilities exceed its current assets the company is reliant upon the support of its parent undertaking. The parent undertaking has provided a formal letter of support to the company.”
Significant events
- “The Company has made a loss on ordinary activities before taxation of £615,921 for the year ended 31st March 2025 (2024: profit of £15,655).”
- “Revenues were higher than expected at £32,896,191 in comparison to the budget for 2025: £29,389,240. This was mainly due to additional funding from the Council to clear outstanding high value expenditure relating to roofing and guttering works.”
- “The company experienced notable financial losses during the reporting period, driven primarily by escalating operational costs and an increase in the volume of work required to maintain service standards. Rising inflation, higher contractor rates, and material costs placed considerable strain on budgets, while the expanded scope of works to make improvements to the service delivery further intensified resource demands. These pressures, combined with workforce challenges and limited capacity to absorb additional expenditure, have adversely impacted overall financial performance.”
- “For the year ended 31st March 2025, four reportable incidents were reported. This resulted in an Annual Incident Injury Rate (AIIR) of 705, which is higher than the current industry benchmark.”
- “During the year, the company adopted new Articles of Association on 29 April 2025. This formed part of a planned governance review aimed at aligning Board structure with the strategic direction of the business, while also delivering cost efficiencies. As part of this transition, all existing Non-Executive Directors stood down at the end of April 2025.”
- “Ordinary dividends were paid amounting to £1,150,000.”
