Retention parity policy
Retention Clauses are used in the majority of our construction contracts and are included within our standard payment terms.
Retention release
Money retained is released following receipt of an appropriate application from the subcontractor and confirmation that the relevant contractual conditions for release have been met. Payment is then made in accordance with the subcontract payment terms.
Retention release stages
50% at practical completion of sub-contract works and 50% at the end of the defects as outlined.

Reported terms and dispute process
- Standard payment terms
Our standard terms vary due to the type of supply and are agreed as part of contract negotiations. Suppliers are predominantly paid on 30 days from the month end of invoice. Subcontractors, dependant on contract terms, are paid on 30 or 42 day terms, following the date of assessment
- Dispute resolution process
We believe in treating our suppliers fairly and with respect and our approach is outlined in our Supply Chain Charter,
For subcontract orders where any disputes arise, these are resolved by the Quantity Surveyor in accordance with the subcontract order.
For material orders where any disputes arise regarding quantities delivered these are resolved by the Finance Department who request proof of delivery. Where any disputes regarding invoice rates arise, these are resolved by the Buying Department.

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.

The supplier link is exact, but the award remains buyer-published procurement data. BritDB requires the GB-COH identifier supplied in the Contracts Finder OCDS release and does not infer suppliers from similar names.
06 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.
07 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.
08 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.

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.
