The most recent insolvency notice for Assured Building Contractors Limited is an Appointment of liquidators (CVL), published 29 October 2026 in The London Gazette. The office holders are Gareth James Lewis; Matthew Russell, appointed 23 October 2026. Its last accounts filed at Companies House, to 30 September 2025, showed total assets of £31k and net assets of -£58k. On those figures the company was already balance-sheet insolvent — its liabilities exceeded its assets — at that date, 13 months before its first insolvency notice. Liquidation winds a company up: a licensed insolvency practitioner (the liquidator) is appointed to sell the company's assets and distribute the proceeds to creditors in the order fixed by law, after which the company is dissolved. A creditors' voluntary liquidation (CVL) is started by the company's own directors and shareholders once it can no longer pay its debts as they fall due.
