A Leeds plastering and finishing contractor incorporated in September 2018 has resolved to wind up through a creditors' voluntary liquidation, with Clark Business Recovery Limited named as liquidator.
P Allen Plastering Contractors Ltd, registered at Brook House Church Lane in Garforth, Leeds, passed the winding-up resolution and published notice in the London Gazette on 4 June 2026. A creditors' voluntary liquidation is an insolvent winding-up resolved by the company's members at the request of its directors, without a court order. It is the most common route into corporate insolvency in the UK.
The company's registered address is being changed to c/o Clark Business Recovery Limited, 8 Fusion Court, as is standard practice when a liquidator takes control of a company's affairs.
The company
P Allen Plastering Contractors Ltd was incorporated on 5 September 2018 and traded under SIC codes 43310 and 43390, covering plastering and other finishing work on buildings. The company filed its most recent accounts to 30 September 2024 on a total exemption full basis, a filing route available to smaller companies.
The directors
Karen Allen and Paul Allen have both served as directors since incorporation on 5 September 2018. Neither has resigned, and both remain current officers at the time of the notice. No secured charges are registered against the company at Companies House.
The liquidator
Clark Business Recovery Limited has been named as liquidator. The firm's address, as given in the Gazette notice, is 8 Fusion Court. No individual licensed insolvency practitioner is named in the notice extract, and no IP number is available from the published data.
The liquidator's role is to realise whatever assets the company holds and distribute the proceeds to creditors in the order of priority set out in the Insolvency Act 1986. As no secured charges are registered at Companies House, there are no secured creditors with a prior claim over the company's assets.
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.
