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.
Joint liquidators John Allan Carpenter and Christopher Benjamin Barrett of Dow Schofield Watts Business Recovery LLP were appointed on 20 May 2026 to wind up Precision Welding Specialists Co Limited, a specialist welding services company based in Greater Manchester.
The appointment was made by both members and creditors after a resolution was passed to place the company into a creditors' voluntary liquidation. This is the most common form of insolvent winding-up in the UK, in which a company's directors initiate the process without a court order.
The liquidators
Carpenter holds IP number 16270 and Barrett holds IP number 9437, both licensed insolvency practitioners. They operate from Dow Schofield Watts Business Recovery LLP at 7400 Daresbury Park, Daresbury, Warrington, WA4 4BS. As joint liquidators, either may act independently unless the terms of the appointment specify otherwise.
The company
Precision Welding Specialists Co Limited was incorporated on 3 December 2020 and carried out specialist welding services. Its registered address at the time of the notice is listed as 7400 Daresbury Park, Daresbury, Warrington, Cheshire, WA4 4BS, though the company previously operated from Unit 29, Norfolk Street, Walkden, Greater Manchester, M28 3QW. Companies House records the Walkden address as the registered office on file.
The company filed its last accounts to 31 December 2024 on a micro-entity basis, the smallest reporting category available to limited companies under UK accounting rules.
The director
David Batty is the sole director on record at Companies House, appointed on 3 December 2020, the date of incorporation. No resignation is recorded against his appointment, placing him as the current director at the time of the notice.
Secured charges
No secured charges are registered against Precision Welding Specialists Co Limited at Companies House. No lender therefore holds a fixed or floating charge over the company's assets.
The appointment was published in the London Gazette on 28 May 2026. Creditors who have not yet submitted a claim should contact Dow Schofield Watts Business Recovery LLP at the Daresbury Park address.
Common questions
Are you owed money by Precision Welding Specialists Co 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 Precision Welding Specialists Co 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 Precision Welding Specialists Co 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 Precision Welding Specialists Co 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.
