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

“As such, the director considers that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “Improved market conditions lead to an increase in turnover from £16.9M in 2023 to £17.6M in 2024. A review of working practices, a drive for efficiency and overheads kept to a minimum, resulted in profit before tax of nearly £1.4M.”
- “The director is aware that there is some volatility in the market for the forthcoming year with tighter margins and rising costs but at the same time there is political pressure to increase house building which may increase demand.”
- “The company is exposed to a variety of business risks including competition; the Scottish and UK economy; liquidity risk and in recent years, unprecedented material and plant cost increases. The addition of fuel duty to all diesel used on site in 2022, has increased costs further.”
- “Conflict in Ukraine and Brexit - I am confident that through our strong relationships with both our supply chain and client base we have taken the appropriate steps to mitigate any risks relating to delivery and increased costs associated with the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and the UK's exit from the European Union.”
