J.J Rocke General Builders Limited, a general building contractor registered at Caulderstitch Cottage, Butlers Bank, Shawbury, Shrewsbury, has entered creditors' voluntary liquidation. The notice was published in the London Gazette on 4 June 2026.
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. 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 general building work, including plastering, joinery and other construction finishing trades, under SIC codes covering those activities. The registered address is Caulderstitch Cottage, Butlers Bank, Shawbury, Shrewsbury, SY4 4HG. Its most recent accounts were made up to 29 June 2024 and filed on a total exemption full basis, a route available to smaller companies.
The directors
Helen Rocke and James John Rocke have both served as directors of J.J Rocke General Builders Limited since incorporation on 18 June 2014 and remain current directors. No other officers appear on the Companies House record.
The liquidation notice
The notice identifies the nature of business as general builders and confirms the registered office address in Shawbury. No court was involved in the appointment, consistent with the voluntary route into liquidation.
No secured charges are registered against J.J Rocke General Builders Limited at Companies House, so there are no secured creditors with a prior claim over the company's assets ahead of unsecured creditors in the distribution process.
The liquidator's role is to realise the company's assets and distribute the proceeds to creditors in the order of priority set out in the Insolvency Act 1986. Creditors who believe they are owed money may submit a proof of debt, the formal claim form evidencing the amount owed, to the appointed liquidators.
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.

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.
