Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis

- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Larking Gowen LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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 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
- “The last quarter was particularly bad, as the BSA (Building Safety Act), a result of the Grenfell fire tragedy, had an impact on the approval of building projects by tightening rules and more ngorous reviews of the plans, which meant delays and a general slow down in the construction industry, which meant approximately a 20% decrease in our turnover, compared to the same period in 2023”
- “Our pincipal risks continue to be energy costs, although we managed to renegotiate our electic and gas contracts in February 2024, with electricity tanffs taking effect from July 2024 and gas from April 2025 Both should have a positive impact on our profitability”
- “The budget has had a devastating impact on confidence in our industry, down to the increase in National Insurance and Minimum Living Wage, which has made recruiting and maintain good staff even harder in this penod”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
