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

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group's and the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “Group turnover has decreased by 22.31% from the previous year.”
- “The group continues to experience a very significant level of demand for its services. However this demand has been tempered to some extent by the increasing difficulty of sourcing supplies, the price increases in relation to those supplies and the competitive nature of the industry in terms of securing available resources.”
- “The group continues to remain competitive within its market place and has continued to secure significant contracts in the private housing sector.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
