Burgess House LTD faces a winding-up petition

The most recent insolvency notice for Burgess House LTD is a Petitions to wind up (Companies), published 20 October 2026 in The London Gazette. The petition was presented by EXPERT FIRE SOLUTIONS LIMITED. The case is before the Manchester Civil Justice Centre (case CR-2026-MAN-001373). The petition is listed to be heard on Tuesday 24 November 2026 at 10:00. Its last accounts filed at Companies House, to 31 August 2025, showed total assets of £54k and net assets of £100. Those accounts were filed 13 months before the first insolvency notice, so they describe the company well before the process began. 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.
The petitioning creditor is another company, so the debt behind the petition is a commercial one — typically an unpaid invoice, rent, or a judgment that went unsatisfied — rather than a tax liability.

What happens next
