Information for general guidance, drawn from the public record. Not legal, financial, or insolvency advice. If you are affected by an insolvency, consult a licensed practitioner or qualified solicitor.
Michael James Wellard of RBW Restructuring Limited and Nigel Heath Sinclair of Richard Long & Co were appointed joint liquidators to Distinction Flooring Ltd on 20 May 2026, placing the Sutton-based floor and wall covering installer into a creditors' voluntary liquidation.
A creditors' voluntary liquidation, or CVL, is an insolvent winding-up resolved by the company's members at the directors' request, without a court order. Both the members and creditors of Distinction Flooring Ltd made the appointment, according to the notice published in the London Gazette.
The company
Distinction Flooring Ltd was incorporated on 13 June 2019 and traded in floor and wall covering installation, classified under SIC code 43330. Its registered office is at 450 London Road, Cheam, Sutton, SM3 8JB. The last filed accounts were made up to 30 June 2021, prepared on a micro-entity basis.
Lee James Taffurelli has been a director of Distinction Flooring Ltd since incorporation on 13 June 2019 and holds no resigned status on the Companies House record.
The liquidators
Wellard holds IP number 9670 and practises from Castlegate House, 36 Castle Street, Hertford, Hertfordshire, SG14 1HH. Sinclair holds IP number 9030 and practises from the same address, through Richard Long & Co. Both licences are verified.
Wellard and Sinclair operate through different firms, yet RBW Restructuring Limited and Richard Long & Co share the same Hertford address. As joint liquidators, either may act independently unless the terms of the appointment specify otherwise.
Secured charges
No secured charges are registered against Distinction Flooring Ltd at Companies House, so no secured creditors hold a charge over the company's assets.
Creditors wishing to submit a claim should contact the joint liquidators at Castlegate House, 36 Castle Street, Hertford, Hertfordshire, SG14 1HH. The appointment was published in the Gazette on 28 May 2026.
Common questions
Are you owed money by Distinction Flooring 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 Distinction Flooring 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 Distinction Flooring 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 Distinction Flooring 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.
