STRATEGIC REPORT |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 |
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 March 2024. |
BACKGROUND |
The company is a privately owned CAT1 roofing and contracting business, carrying out works throughout the whole of the UK. We have grown to be one of the largest and most respected envelope contractors servicing the entire of the United Kingdom via strategic regional offices down the spine of the country. We have developed our reputation over the years based on the ethos of being recognised as providing the highest quality roofing and cladding services delivered by trained, formally qualified professionals and as such our customer base has grown in both size and stature. |
The company's strength lies in the following: |
o Its' longevity. |
o Its' collaborative approach to projects |
o Its' outstanding technical support |
o Its' ability to continually adapt. |
o Its' ability to gain and retain client partnerships through fair negotiations and quality of supply. |
o Its' people - highly trained, supported and motivated. |
MAC is committed to being a market leader in the roofing and cladding industry - we have made it our mission to provide and deliver, reliable, quality services through a well trained and qualified workforce at every level. |
We believe that the quality of our business is dependent upon the quality of our people. We treat both customers and employees with respect, fostering high standards of integrity, honesty, and professionalism at all times. |
The company holds the ISO 9001,14001,14064-1 and 45001 accreditations, and many other sector standards such as Safe Contractor, SMAS Worksafe, Achilles, CHAS, Exor, and we were the first company in the north west to be accredited in the CITB pilot scheme for BeFair. |
REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
The company has returned to profitability reporting a profit before tax of £952K in the year under review. This reflects the strategic changes made to reduce risk in our bidding and refusal to enter into fixed priced contracts without inflationary provisions. |
The return to profit is testament to our people, the quality of our service and the strength of our longstanding relationships with our key clients. |
Our forward order book is strong with a high level of success being achieved within the infrastructure sectors driven by the public purse. |

STRATEGIC REPORT |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 |
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
The following specific risks identified in our industry: |
o Client or supply chain failure |
o Volatility of raw material prices for fixed price contracts |
o Low margin work where risk is disproportionate to potential returns |
o Greater incidence of litigation and contractual disputes. |
Internal processes are in place for assessing and managing the exposure to the above, and this has seen a move to working with a number of large, well established main contractors, as well as our continued work with local authorities. |
Bidding risk |
The company tenders selectively for contracts each year, with a thorough process for estimating and identifying risks associated with each contract before any formal tender is submitted. Further detailed reviews are undertaken by the board with the estimating division pre contract prior to us sanctioning permission to proceed. |
Delivery risk |
The delivery of contracts is controlled and managed through the Board and the team of contract managers and quantity surveyors. The company has monthly reviews on the progress of each contract, with items such as health and safety performance, issues affecting delivery and any consequential impact on costs to completion. This approach is underpinned by management's desire to identify any operational and commercial issues in good time so as to ensure appropriate actions can be taken to address them in the most effective way. |
Changing government policies |
With a number of large contracts being won from local authority work, the risk and uncertainty to our business, and that of many others, from changes in government spending policy cannot be ignored. Our increase in turnover has mainly being due to a much higher percentage being won from the private sector, therefore bringing this risk to an acceptable level. |
Financial risk |
Financial risks include liquidity/cashflow risk and credit risk. The company has being managing these risks by retaining profits to build our financial strength. The board regularly reviews the financial requirements of the company and we do not use complex financial instruments. |
Volatility of raw material prices for fixed price contracts |
As described above, we now have a policy of only entering into fixed priced contracts if there are fluctuation clauses for specific materials included coupled with inflationary increase should the project construction periods prolong outside of the agreed contract durations. |

STRATEGIC REPORT |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 |
SECTION 172(1) STATEMENT |
The directors of M.A.C. (Roofing & Contracting) Limited consider that they have acted in a way they consider, in good faith, would be most likely to promote the success of the company for the benefit of its members a a whole (having regard to the stakeholders and matters set out in S172(1) (a) - (f) of the Companies Act 2006) in the decisions take during the year ended 31 March 2024: |
1. Our plan was designed to have a long term beneficial impact on the company and to contribute to its success in delivering a high quality of service across all areas of our business. |
2. Our team members are fundamental to the delivery of our plan. We aim to be a responsible employer in our approach to the pay and benefits our team members receive. The health, safety and well being of our team members is one of our primary considerations in the way we do business. |
3. Engagement with suppliers and customers is key to our success. We meet with our major manufacturing partners regularly throughout the year and take appropriate action, where necessary, to prevent involvement in modern slavery, corruption, bribery and breaches of competition law. |
4. Our plan takes into account the impact of the company operations on the community, environment and our wider social responsibilities, in particular, how we comply with environmental legislation, pursue waste saving opportunities and react promptly to local community concerns. |
5. Our intention is to behave responsibly and ensure that management operate the business in a responsible manner. Operating within the high standards of business conduct and good governance expected for a business such as ours and in doing so, will contribute to the delivery of our plan. The intention is to nurture our reputation, through both the construction and delivery of our plan, that reflects our responsible behavior. |
EXPECTED FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS |
Having weathered the losses of the previous year and returning to profitability the Board are looking forward to the future. Whilst the current and future economic climate remains uncertain, the company's secured and targeted workload remains largely in established sectors which remain reasonably active, including public sector schemes, education and healthcare. |
With our current workflow, we are expecting turnover for the forthcoming year to increase but with less live projects at any one time. The focus is larger projects ensuring key stakeholder have better control. |
We have seen a strong performance across the business in the first half of the current year financial year with results well ahead of management expectations, with forecasts continuing to be positive along with the recent success in secured contracts particularly within the infrastructure sector. |

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES |
The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Report of the Directors and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. |
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and of the profit or loss of the Company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to: |
- | select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; |
- | make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
- | state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; |
- | prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue in business. |
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. |
STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS |
So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the Company's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the Company's auditors are aware of that information. |
M.A.C. (ROOFING & CONTRACTING) LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 01224597) |
REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 |
AUDITORS |
The auditor, SBCA Statutory Auditor, is deemed to be reappointed under section 487(2) of the Companies Act 2006. |
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
M.A.C. (ROOFING & CONTRACTING) LIMITED |
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of M.A.C. (Roofing & Contracting) Limited (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 March 2024 which comprise the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, Statement of Financial Position and Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). |
In our opinion the financial statements: |
- | give a true and fair view of the state of the Company's affairs as at 31 March 2024 and of its profit for the year then ended; |
- | have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and |
- | have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. |
Basis for opinion |
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. |
Conclusions relating to going concern |
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. |
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. |
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. |
Other information |
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors thereon. |
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. |
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
M.A.C. (ROOFING & CONTRACTING) LIMITED |
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 |
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: |
- | the information given in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
- | the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report or the Report of the Directors. |
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: |
- | adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or |
- | the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or |
- | certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or |
- | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. |
Responsibilities of directors |
As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page eight, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. |
In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
M.A.C. (ROOFING & CONTRACTING) LIMITED |
Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements |
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. |
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: |
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below. |
Based on our understanding of the company and sector, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to, but were not limited to, the Companies Act 2006, UK tax, employment, pension and health and safety legislation and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006. |
We evaluated management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls) and determined that the principal risks were related to management bias in accounting estimates and judgements and fraudulent income recognition. |
Our procedures to respond to risks identified included the following: |
- reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct impact on the financial statements; |
- enquiring of management about actual and potential litigation and claims, their policies and procedures to prevent and detect fraud as well as whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud; |
- performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud; |
- obtaining an understanding of provisions and holding discussions with management to understand the basis of recognition or non-recognition of tax provisions; and |
- in addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls: testing the appropriateness of journal entries; assessing whether the accounting estimates, judgements and decisions made by management are indicative of a potential bias; and evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business. |
We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit. |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
M.A.C. (ROOFING & CONTRACTING) LIMITED |
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion. |
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Auditors. |
Use of our report |
This report is made solely to the Company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company's members those matters we are required to state to them in a Report of the Auditors and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. |
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. |
The company is a qualifying entity for the purposes of FRS102, being a member of a group where the parent of that group prepares publicly available consolidated financial statements, including this company, which are intended give a true and fair view of assets, liabilities, financial position and profit and loss of the group. The company has therefore taken advantage of the exemptions from the following disclosure requirements: |
- Section 4 'Statement of Financial Position' - Reconciliation of the opening and closing number of shares; |
- Section 7 'Statement of Cash Flows' - Presentation of a statement of cash flow and related notes and disclosures; |
- Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12 'Other Financial Instrument Issues' - Interest income/expense and net gains/losses for each category of financial instrument; basis of determining fair values; details of collateral, loan defaults or breaches, details of hedges, hedging fair value changes recognised in profit or loss and in other comprehensive income; |
- Section 33 'Related Party Disclosures': Compensation for key management personnel. |
The company is a wholly owned subsidiary and the financial statements of the company are consolidated in the financial statements of Cavanagh Commercial Holdings Limited. These consolidated financial statements are available from Companies House, Crown Way, Maindy, Cardiff, CF14 3UZ. |
Going concern |
At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. |
Reporting period |
The comparative financial statements represented the accounting period from 1 October 2021 to 31 March 2023, in order to better align the company's year end with that of the tax year. This, therefore, results in comparative amounts presented in these financial statements (including the related notes) not being entirely comparable. |

Turnover |
Turnover represents the invoice value of work carried out during the year, net of Value Added Tax, adjusted for contractual work in progress as follows: |
The amount by which recorded turnover is in excess of payments on account is classified as "amounts recoverable on contracts" and separately disclosed, as appropriate, within debtors due within one year and after more than one year. |
The value of the recorded turnover has been determined by the following methods: |
Where the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, revenue and costs are recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the reporting end date. Variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments are included to the extent that the amount can be measured reliably and its receipt is considered probable. |
When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract turnover, the expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately. |
Where the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognised to the extent of contract costs incurred where it is probable that they will be recoverable. Contract costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. When costs incurred in securing a contract are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred, they are not included in contract costs if the contract is obtained in a subsequent period. |
The "percentage of completion method" is used to determine the appropriate amount to recognise in a given period. The stage of completion is measured by the proportion of contract costs incurred for work performed to date compared to the estimated total contract costs. Costs incurred in the year in connection with future activity on a contract are excluded from contract costs in determining the stage of completion. These costs are presented as amounts recoverable on contracts, prepayments or other assets depending on their nature, and provided it is probable they will be recovered. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Financial instruments |
The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12 'Other Financial Instruments Issues' of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. |
Basic financial assets |
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future cash flows discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. |
Classification of financial liabilities |
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities. |
Basic financial liabilities |
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of future cash flows discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. |
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. |
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. |
Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. |
Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of financial position date. |

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Deferred tax |
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of financial position date. |
Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |
Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. Those held under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is the shorter. The interest element of these obligations is charged to the profit and loss account over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability. Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |
Cash and cash equivalents |
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits held with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice. |

3. | CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY |
In the application of the company's accounting policies, which are described in note 2, the director's are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. |
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recongnised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision effects both current and future periods. The critical estimates made by the directors in preparing these financial statements relate to the useful economic life of tangible fixed assets, of which depreciation rates are disclosed in note 2. |
Critical Judgements |
The following judgements (apart from those involving estimates) could have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements: |
Recognition of contract revenue and profit |
This is a natural area of estimation uncertainty given the industry in which the company operates. The narrative to the turnover accounting policy in the financial statements provides further information. |
The company uses suitably qualified Quantity Surveyors to assess the level of work done, associated revenue and thus profit recognition. These assessments are then reviewed by the company's finance team, providing an additional level of internal assurance that reduces the estimation uncertainty to an appropriate level. |
Key sources of estimation uncertainty |
The estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are as follows: |
Provision for irrecoverable trade debtors |
At each balance sheet date, management undertake a review of the outstanding trade debtor balances and estimate the balance that should either be impaired or provided against. This calculation is based on the financial position of the customers, the historical speed of payment and any ongoing discussions. |
