Members of C J Allen Limited resolved to wind the company up on 4 June 2026, with liquidators from Azets appointed the same day under a creditors' voluntary liquidation. In a CVL, an insolvent company's members vote to wind up the business once its directors have concluded it cannot continue to trade because of its liabilities. The process proceeds without a court order.
The Coventry-based roofing contractor is registered under SIC code 43910 for roofing activities and was incorporated on 10 November 2017. Its registered office is now care of Azets at 3mc Siskin Drive, Middlemarch Business Park, Coventry, CV3 4FJ.
The resolution
The CVL resolution was passed on 4 June 2026 and published in the London Gazette the same day. Once passed, the resolution triggers the appointment of a liquidator, a licensed insolvency practitioner who realises the company's assets and distributes the proceeds to creditors.
The liquidator appointment
The liquidators were appointed through Azets, whose Middlemarch Business Park office is now the company's registered address. The appointment was confirmed on 4 June 2026, the same date as the winding-up resolution.
The company and its director
C J Allen Limited filed its last accounts to 29 March 2025 on a micro-entity basis, the smallest reporting category under UK company law. Clifford Allen was appointed director on the date of incorporation, 10 November 2017, and remains a current director at Companies House.
The company carried no registered secured charges at the time of the notice, meaning no secured creditor held a fixed or floating charge over its assets. C J Allen Limited had no prior trading names on the Companies House register.
Common questions
Are you owed money by C J Allen Limited?
In a creditors' voluntary liquidation you are an unsecured creditor unless you hold a registered charge or retention of title. The liquidators will write to known creditors with a proof-of-debt form. A statement of affairs prepared by the directors and the chair of the creditors' decision procedure should be available on request. Read more about proof of debt and where you sit in the creditor hierarchy.
Did you work at C J Allen Limited?
In a CVL, employees are typically dismissed at or shortly after the liquidator's appointment. Wages owed up to a statutory cap, holiday pay, notice pay and redundancy may be claimable from the Redundancy Payments Service. The liquidators will normally provide RP1 case-reference numbers to the affected staff. See gov.uk: your rights if your employer is insolvent.
Do you hold a deposit, gift card or undelivered order from C J Allen Limited?
Customers with paid-but-undelivered orders, gift cards or deposits rank as unsecured creditors in the liquidation. Where you paid by credit card and the amount was over £100, Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 may let you claim from the card issuer for breach of contract or misrepresentation by the supplier; the rules apply per item, not per transaction, and the card must be a regulated credit card. Debit-card payments may be recoverable via chargeback.
Are you a director of a company connected to C J Allen Limited?
Section 216 of the Insolvency Act 1986 applies the moment the company enters liquidation. If you intend to be involved in another company using the same or a similar name within five years, you must rely on one of the three statutory exceptions and file the relevant notice. Acting in breach is a criminal offence and exposes you to personal liability for the successor's debts.
