Retention circumstances
We have two trading divisions.
For our Permanent Space division and our Rental division: to pass through retention clauses from our customers.
For our rental division only - there is a minimum contract of £2,500 before retentions are deducted.
Retention release
50% of the retention is released on practical completion. The balance is released when PML is released from its defect period as any defects reported by the client may be traceable back to the subcontractor.
Retention release stages
50% of the retention is released on practical completion. The balance is released when PML is released from its defect period as any defects reported by the client may be traceable back to the subcontractor.

The business has, for many years, been developing a new ERP system (IFS) and since launch at 1st Jan 2026 this has significantly improved the visibility and processing speed of supplier payments which were previously highly manual, including for
• Construction Industry Scheme (CIS)
• Invoices with retentions
• Hired-in-plant, purchase orders were frequently raised only after an invoice had arrived
The new ERP system has immediately provided benefits to our internal processing which has given the business a more reflective payment performance, which is demonstrated in the period under review.
As well as the specific improvements noted above to CIS, retentions, and hired-in-plant, IFS has allowed us to significantly increase the visibility and processing efficiency of all supplier invoices, reduce invoices on hold, and more easily track our performance.
Further at the latter end of the period under review the group of which the company is a member completed a financing restructure. As part of the process the business had to maintain a large minimum cash balance until the re-financing process was completed. At an operational level, and as a result of delays to the refinancing process, the requirement to keep a minimum bank balance prevented the company from paying invoices as they fell due.
The refinancing process completed in June, and the directors do not see this situation recurring in the foreseeable future.
By comparison, at the end of May the payment performance for the five months ended 31/5/26 was 96% of invoices were paid within 60 days with an average payment time of 25 days.
This better control and visibility is being done together with a wider effort to onboard new suppliers with shorter standard payment terms. - Dispute resolution process
Subcontractor disputes follow the process set out in the subcontract which is often an NEC/JCT construction industry standard.
Disputes around goods or services are handled by the person requesting the goods or service and can be escalated within the business at the appropriate time.
Disputes over payment timings are handled by the finance department.

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.
09 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.
10 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.
11 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.
