A Garforth-based plastering subcontractor has passed a resolution to wind up through a creditors' voluntary liquidation, according to a notice published in the London Gazette.
P Allen Plastering Contractors Ltd, registered at Brook House, Church Lane, Garforth, Leeds, LS25 1HB, carried out plastering and other building finishing work under SIC codes 43310 and 43390. The company was incorporated on 5 September 2018.
A creditors' voluntary liquidation (CVL) is an insolvent winding-up resolved by the company's members at the request of its directors, without a court order. It is the single largest stream of UK corporate insolvency by volume.
The directors
Karen Allen and Paul Allen were both appointed as directors on 5 September 2018, the date of incorporation, and neither has resigned according to the Companies House record. Both are recorded as resident in the United Kingdom.
Accounts and registered office
The company's most recent accounts were made up to 30 September 2024, filed as total exemption full accounts, a format available to smaller companies that meet certain size criteria. The next set of accounts was due by 30 June 2026.
The Gazette notice records that the registered office address is to be changed from Brook House, Church Lane, Garforth, Leeds, LS25 1HB, though the destination address is not reproduced in the notice extract available.
Liquidator appointment
The notice does not name the appointed liquidator in the extract available. No secured charges are registered against P Allen Plastering Contractors Ltd at Companies House, and no court was involved in the appointment given the voluntary nature of the process.
Common questions
Are you owed money by P Allen Plastering Contractors 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 P Allen Plastering Contractors 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 P Allen Plastering Contractors 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 P Allen Plastering Contractors 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.
