The most recent insolvency notice for Classic Carpets & Flooring (Belper) Limited is an Appointment of liquidators (Court), published 22 October 2026 in The London Gazette. The office holders are Jeremy Charles Frost; Stephen Patrick Jens Wadsted, appointed 09 October 2026. The case is before the High Court of Justice (case CR-2026-000920). Its last accounts filed at Companies House, to 31 December 2023, showed total assets of £234k and net assets of -£11k. On those figures the company was already balance-sheet insolvent — its liabilities exceeded its assets — at that date, 34 months before its first insolvency notice. A winding-up petition asks the court to close a company and place it into compulsory liquidation, most often because a debt has gone unpaid. If the court makes a winding-up order, control passes to the Official Receiver or an appointed liquidator, the company's bank accounts are frozen and its assets are sold to repay creditors.

What happens next
A winding-up petition asks the court to place a company into compulsory liquidation. Until an order is made the petition can still be dismissed or withdrawn — if the debt is paid, if it is genuinely disputed on substantial grounds, or if the court is persuaded to adjourn while a rescue is put in place. If an order is made, the company stops trading, its bank accounts are frozen, and a liquidator realises the assets and pays creditors in the order fixed by law; creditors prove their debts to the liquidator or the Official Receiver rather than to the company.
