- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's 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
- “2025 has seen excellent growth for the business seeing a 50% increase on turnover from 2024, and an uplift in profits before tax of over 67%.”
- “The Directors are pleased to report a strong order book reaching far into the current financial year and many projects in development for the future beyond.”
- “Concrete repair works are performing very well with the business securing nationwide projects with BT.”
- “The first quarter of the current financial year shows a continuation in positive results. Turnover has remained consistent with an increase in gross profit % when compared to the same period in 2024.”

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
