Retention circumstances
Retention clauses are included in certain construction contracts, typically where JCT standard forms of contract are used. The retention provides security for the satisfactory completion of the works and the rectification of defects. Where applicable, retention is withheld from payments and released in accordance with the contract terms, with final release dependent on the successful completion of any defect liability or rectification period specified following contract completion.
Retention release
Retentions are released in accordance with the terms of the relevant construction contract. Typically, 50% of the retained amount is released upon practical or sectional completion and included in the payment relating to that milestone. The remaining retention is released at the end of the 12-month defects liability period, subject to any identified defects having been satisfactorily rectified. Where defects have not been rectified, the retention may continue to be held until the required works are completed, or deductions may be made to cover the cost of completing the remedial works.
Retention release stages
Retained amounts are released in stages through the valuation certification process. Typically, 50% of the retention is released upon practical or sectional completion and included within the relevant valuation certificate issued by the responsible Quantity Surveyor. The remaining retention is released at the end of the 12-month defects liability period, subject to all identified defects having been satisfactorily rectified. Where defects remain outstanding, the retention may continue to be held until the required remedial works are completed, or deductions may be made in accordance with the contract terms.

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.
07 Ownership and control
People with significant control
No individual or entity with signficant control
- Notified
- 14 April 2023
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
No exact company-number registration linked
The licensed Environment Agency subset did not contain this exact Companies House number. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.
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.
