- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- 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 original financial statements were authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “During the financial year, the company achieved a record turnover of £29.6 million (2023: £28.9 million), with gross margin increasing to £7.62 million (25.7%) from £6.68 million (23.1%) in the previous year.”
- “Profit before taxation rose to £2.05 million (6.9%) from £1.99 million (6.9%) in 2023, and shareholders' funds increased to £3.61 million (2023: £2.60 million), further enhancing the company's financial resilience and providing a solid foundation for future growth.”
- “Our in-house underfloor heating division has trebled in size over the past year. This significant growth reflects increasing demand for coordinated heating and screeding solutions.”

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
