Retention circumstances
Retention Clauses are used in specific circumstances:
Retention clauses are included in some construction contracts this is usually determined by the nature, value and length of the works being caried out.
We would only apply the same rate of retention to our sub-contractor as our clients are applying to us.
Retention parity policy
We would only apply the same rate of retention to our sub-contractor as our clients are applying to us.
Retention release
Once works are complete there would be an agreed retention period (usually twelve months), once this has passed and there are no reasons for monies to be withheld then the Sub-Contractor would apply for the release of the retention, this would follow the same terms and procedure for payment as agreed at the start of the contract.

Reported terms and dispute process
- Standard payment terms
The company operates 2 processes: 1. Purchase Order (Mainly Plant & Materials) Payment terms are agreed with suppliers on a case by case basis.
The most commonly used terms are 30 days following the end of the month in which the tax point of the supplier invoice falls. The maximum agreed term is 60 days. 2.Sub-Contact orders, there are two main types of sub-contracts: a. Agency Labour, standard terms vary between 7 days and 90 days from the end of the month in which the tax point of the invoice falls. The maximum term is 90 days. b. Supply & Fix, standard terms and conditions with sub-contractors are agreed at the outset of each contract being placed. The average payment period varies between 30 and 90 days following certification of applications for payment of invoices received from the sub-contractor. The maximum agreed term is 60 days. - Dispute resolution process
Queries regarding materials and equipment hire are dealt with by the procurement department for resolution with the supplier through dialogue and emails. Queries regarding sub-contractor orders are dealt with by the surveyor responsible for the contract with the aim of reaching a resolution within the payment terms. If a dispute cannot be resolved, it is passed the the supply chain director for further escalation.

Demonstrated progress
Company wide awareness training has now been rolled out to all employees. The development of a few key performance indicators has commenced to track progress.
A registry entry records what the organisation declared in its statement. It is not an independent audit. Group statements can cover several companies; BritDB preserves each exact source-supplied company-number link and excludes approver names and email addresses.
06 Data protection
ICO fee-payer registration
Gratte Brothers Limited
Registration Z5142573
- Registered from
- 2 January 2001
- Current end date
- 1 January 2027
This is a candidate association, not an official Companies House link. The ICO file supplies no company number. The organisation name and postcode uniquely matched this company in the current snapshot. BritDB excludes all DPO contact fields and does not publish unmatched personal entries.
TM UK trade marks
Exact owner-name matches
This is an exact normalised company-name match, not a registrar-confirmed ownership link. Another legal entity can have the same or a very similar name. UKIPO data is a historical 2018 snapshot; verify the owner and current status before relying on it.

PSC records are company-filed public-register information. When the exact same displayed individual name occurs at multiple companies, BritDB offers a non-indexed cross-reference page. It is a name match only, not proof that the records describe the same person. Service addresses and partial dates of birth are deliberately omitted.
08 Charity register
Charity Commission links
No exact company-number link in this snapshot
The Charity Commission extract did not explicitly associate this Companies House number with a charity. BritDB does not use a name-only match to fill the gap.
This company-level check covers the Charity Commission for England and Wales. Links are accepted only when the official extract supplies this exact company registration number. Scottish charities now have separate OSCR profiles, but OSCR’s bulk fields do not provide a Companies House number, so BritDB does not infer a company link.
09 Northern Ireland charity register
CCNI exact company links
No unambiguous company-number link found
The CCNI source number did not resolve uniquely to this Companies House record. BritDB did not use a name or address match.
CCNI publishes company numbers without a jurisdiction prefix. BritDB links only when the plausible padded UK and NI candidates resolve to exactly one Companies House company.
10 Sanctions screening
UK Sanctions List
No exact business-registration-number link found
The imported UK Sanctions List did not supply this Companies House number as a UK-linked business identifier. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.
No exact link is not sanctions clearance. UK restrictions can apply through ownership or control even where an entity is not separately named. Always use the current official list and obtain appropriate advice for a legally significant decision.
11 Public procurement
Find a Tender links
No exact GB-COH link in this snapshot
Find a Tender did not explicitly identify this Companies House number in a procurement party. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.
These links use only the GB-COH identifier supplied in the procurement record. A company may have other public-sector work that is absent, older, below publication thresholds or published without a Companies House identifier.
12 Environmental register
Environment Agency waste registrations
This is a privacy-reduced, exact-company subset. The full official register also includes sole traders and applicants without a matching Companies House number. Check the current Environment Agency register before relying on registration status.
