- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- 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 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
- “A key supplier entered liquidation, which resulted in the loss of high-margin turnover which hasn't been rectified, and a substantial stock write off commensurate with a twenty year relationship and resulting stock levels.”
- “As a result, two major replacement suppliers joined Claygate in 2023/24. The margins however were lower than anticipated.”
- “Increased competition has also required further margin reductions so that turnover levels can be maintained.”
- “There has been some loss of turnover from a major shower enclosure brand as key accounts have been purchasing directly from suppliers.”

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
