Reported terms and dispute process
  1. Standard payment terms

    Purchase Ledger (supplier payments) – 30 days end of month (standard). If terms agreed in advance by both parties’, then payment terms will be adhered to where possible.
    Subcontract – Our standard payment terms are variable between 30 and 45 days. 30 days is the most common. We tend to pay to what their stated terms are.

  2. Dispute resolution process

    Formal supplier statement reconciliation, requesting copies of POD’s, invoices and credit notes where differences are identified – every supplier every 60 days.
    Dedicated mailbox in place which aims to get a response out to suppliers out within 48 hours where disputes are raised.
    Any unapproved invoices are chased regularly to ensure we stay on top of any disputes.

This is a company-submitted statutory disclosure, not a credit rating. BritDB preserves the reporting period and links the report only through the Companies House number supplied by the official service. Percentages describe payments made during that period and may change in later reports.

Reported risks and mitigations

  • Risk: Construction remains one of the highest risk industries for modern slavery.
  • Area: Within your own operations
  • Group: Migrants
  • Location: United Kingdom
  • Mitigation: We have full and robust Modern Slavery procedures, including Supply Chain due diligence. Supplier Compliance Checks are carried out, particularly for higher risk services provided.
  • Risk: Recruitment processes must be robust in order to ensure that all employees are safe and all RTW and employment legislation is followed.
  • Mitigation: Our Recruitment processes are complex with measures in place to ensure that all checking processes are thorough and robust. Face to face checks are carried out across the organisation by staff trained in Modern Slavery, in order to verify as far as possible that Modern Slavery can not happen in our organisation. Helplines and communication in numerous ways are communicated to our entire workforce regularly to ensure awareness.
  • Risk: Due diligence is required for our supply chain to ensure they are also following good practice.
  • Area: Within your supply chains
  • Tier: Tier 1 suppliers
  • Mitigation: Verification processes are in place in order to add a supplier to our supplier framework. After approval, regular supplier Compliance Checks are carried lout, particularly in higher risk service provision, in orderto continually monitor and educate our supply chain. Members of our supply chain are invited to our regular Modern Slavery workshops.

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.

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

Snapshot 25 August 2026
CCEW

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.

i

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

Snapshot 25 August 2026
CCNI

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.

i

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

Report 28 August 2026
UKSL

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

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.
