- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Based on the current financial position, order book, available liquid assets and bank facilities, along with the forecast trading and cash flow position (including the downside scenario set out above concluding that the extreme sales decline scenarios are of remote probability), the directors have not identified a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the ability of the group to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, these financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis.”

Significant events
- “In September 2024, the company acquired the business of Showerwall, out of the administration of International Decorative Surfaces Limited (IDS). Showerwall produces wall panelling systems for bathrooms, which are an alternative to tiles. This is a fast growing segment of the bathroom market and Showerwall provides a strong strategic fit with the rest of the group.”

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
