Retention parity policy
Knight Harwood’s policy is to apply retention provisions to subcontractors on a fair and proportionate basis, aligned with the terms of the relevant main contract. Retention applied to our supply chain will not be more onerous than the retention provisions applied to Knight Harwood by our client on the same project.
Retentions are reduced and released in accordance with the contractual milestones, typically at Practical Completion and following expiry of the defects/rectification period. We actively monitor outstanding retentions and seek to ensure that sums are released promptly once the relevant contractual conditions have been satisfied.
Retention release
Retention monies are released in accordance with the terms of the relevant subcontract and the corresponding project milestones. Typically, the first portion of retention is released following Practical Completion, with the remaining balance released following expiry of the defects/rectification period and completion of any outstanding defects.
Our commercial teams monitor retention balances throughout the project and, once the relevant contractual conditions have been satisfied, the subcontractor’s retention is certified for release through our normal payment process. Any amounts withheld are supported by the contractual basis for doing so and communicated to the subcontractor.
Retention release stages
50% at Practical Completion and the remaining 50% as the expiry of the defects period, typically 12 months following practical completion

Reported terms and dispute process
- Standard payment terms

Disputes are discussed and resolved between the supplier, our internal finance team and the Project surveyors. Once the dispute is resolved, payments are prioritised to mitigate risk of late payment.

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.
05 Data protection
ICO fee-payer registration
Knight Harwood Limited
Registration ZA427153
- Registered from
- 12 June 2018
- Current end date
- 11 June 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.

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.
07 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.
08 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.
09 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.
10 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.
11 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.
