The most recent insolvency notice for Burton Building Contracts UK Ltd is a Dismissal of winding up petition, published 31 July 2026 in The London Gazette. The petition was presented by HM Revenue & Customs. The case is before the High Court of Justice (Chancery Division). The petition was listed to be heard on 22 July 2026 — a date that has now passed, and the Gazette notice is not updated afterwards. Its last accounts filed at Companies House, to 30 November 2025, showed total assets of £953k and net assets of £225k. 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.
HMRC is the petitioning creditor, so the debt behind the petition is unpaid tax — most often VAT, PAYE or corporation tax — rather than a trade debt. HMRC petitions usually follow a long run of missed payments and ignored demands.
