A Shropshire plastering and finishing trades contractor registered near Shrewsbury has passed a resolution to enter a creditors' voluntary liquidation, the London Gazette recorded on 4 June 2026.
A creditors' voluntary liquidation, or 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 company
J.J Rocke General Builders Limited was incorporated on 18 June 2014 and carried out plastering and rendering work, along with other finishing trades and general building services, under SIC codes covering those activities. Its registered office is Caulderstitch Cottage, Butlers Bank, Shawbury, Shrewsbury, SY4 4HG. The company has no previous trading names on record at Companies House.
The most recent accounts filed at Companies House were made up to 29 June 2024 and submitted as total-exemption-full accounts, a filing route available to smaller companies.
The directors
Helen Rocke and James John Rocke have both served as directors since incorporation on 18 June 2014. Neither has a resignation date recorded at Companies House, meaning both remained in post when the resolution was passed.
Secured charges
No secured charges are registered against J.J Rocke General Builders Limited at Companies House.
What happens next
Once a CVL resolution is passed, a licensed insolvency practitioner is appointed as liquidator to realise the company's assets and distribute any available funds to creditors in the order of priority set out in the Insolvency Act 1986. The London Gazette notice does not name a liquidator at this stage. Creditors who believe they are owed money by the company should submit a proof of debt - the formal claim form evidencing the amount owed - to the liquidator once one is formally appointed.
The company's status at Companies House remained listed as active at the time of publication. That status will update as the liquidation progresses and the company moves toward formal dissolution.
Common questions
Are you owed money by J.j Rocke General Builders 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 J.j Rocke General Builders 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 J.j Rocke General Builders 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 J.j Rocke General Builders 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.
