| The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 30 November 2024. |
| J D Geering's Plumbing & Heating Limited (Registered number: 03340467) |
| Strategic Report |
| for the Year Ended 30 November 2024 |
| REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
| The principal activity of the company remains and continues to be the supply, installation and testing/commissioning of mechanical services. |
| The company remains focused on new-build residential work, as has been the core target area for many years now. However, with the market having slowed-down and new development suffering delays over recent years, the company has extended it's offering to include sectors such as commercial, hotels and office fit-outs. Some of these schemes have been partially complete within the 2024 accounting period. |
| The company has always focused on mechanical (only) and found, over recent years, that the company was losing a number of projects to companies providing a combined package of mechanical and electrical. In 2023 and after consultation with a number of prospective clients, the shareholders and directors formed JD Geerings Electrical Limited (JDGE). JDGE is a standalone and independent company with directors in common with JD Geerings Plumbing & Heating Limited (JDGPH), as well as shareholders in common. This has enabled the company to offer a combined mechanical / electrical package. The benefits of which have started to flow in 2024 and a number of combined M&E projects have been partially completed within the accounting period. Feedback from clients has been very positive. |
| Despite a decrease in turnover, the company has returned to profitability in 2024. During the year, certain long-running fixed price lump sum contracts which were priced and commenced many years ago have come to a close, with new schemes commencing. Previously, suppliers had largely refrained from contract-fixed price agreements and insisted on supply at 'today's rates', meaning direct costs exceeded that originally anticipated. There is far more certainty and stability with current schemes. JD Geering's have 'de-risked' and taken a slightly different approach with specialist sub-contractors being engaged on a labour & material basis, contributing largely to the reduction in purchases. Running costs have reduced significantly, particularly staff costs, whereby we have streamlined in areas and also shared certain costs with JD Geering's Electrical. This has brought benefit in both the united offering and reduction in direct cost for each company. |
| The company continues to receive a high number of tender opportunities and continues to provide a high number of returns in both mechanical and electrical offerings. Several prospective clients have been in contact over recent time and JD Geerings are positive in widening their client base over coming months/years. |
| The company continues to work closely with new and existing suppliers to seek cost effective and readily available alternatives. There are several occasions where alternative and more competitively priced materials have been obtained and successfully installed. |
| Key performance indicators: |
| - Turnover: £9,223,340 (2023 £12,407,964) |
| - Gross profit percentage: 17.8% (2023 : 8.4%) |
| - Net/pre-tax profit percentage: 5.7% (2023 -3.5%) |
| PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
| The company continues with advanced forecasting and planning to mitigate risks. Risks are assessed on an ongoing basis, subject to regular Director review in conjunction with Senior Management. Below are some key risks and brief mitigation and management summary within: |
| COMPETITION |
| The market can be very competitive. Whilst the company competes with competitors of various sizes and capabilities, it ensures attractiveness by differentiating from competitors and offering quality in terms of pre-contract support and assistance, quality and reliability. The company secures a great deal of repeat business, many existing clients having been such for several years. Regular feedback and references are obtained. The company sees maintaining of existing relationships as paramount. |
| The company has seen a number of competitors cease trading over recent time and this has, in areas, resulted in an increased number of enquiries/opportunities. |
| LIQUIDITY |
| J D Geering's Plumbing & Heating Limited (Registered number: 03340467) |
| Strategic Report |
| for the Year Ended 30 November 2024 |
| There are various mechanisms implemented by the company to ensure management of assets and liabilities. The balance sheet will assist in demonstrating the position as positive. |
| REGULATION |
| The company regularly review and obtain specialist advice/consultation concerning regulatory changes and requirements, to ensure the company is in full compliance with such. |
| PRICE |
| The company regularly completes cost-comparisons to ensure materials are sourced at competitive rates. This, in turn, assists in enabling the company to produce a competitive offering on project tenders. |
| CREDIT |
| The company mitigates risk with credit, particularly with carrying out checks and establishing credit insurance against all key clients. |
| CASH FLOW |
| The company manages creditors and debtors effectively, with no bank debts, overdraft or loans in place. |
| FUTURE WORKS/DEVELOPMENTS |
| The company is positive concerning future works and developments. A high volume of tender enquiries has continued to be received from both existing and prospective clients. |
| ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
| J D Geering's Plumbing & Heating Limited (Registered number: 03340467) |
| Report of the Directors |
| for the Year Ended 30 November 2024 |
| The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company for the year ended 30 November 2024. |
| DIVIDENDS |
| The total distribution of dividends for the year ended 30 November 2024 is £268,577. |
| DIRECTORS |
| The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1 December 2023 to the date of this report. |
| 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; |
| - | 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. |
| AUDITORS |
| The auditors, Henry Reeves & Co Limited, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. |
| ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| J D Geering's Plumbing & Heating Limited |
| Opinion |
| We have audited the financial statements of J D Geering's Plumbing & Heating Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 30 November 2024 which comprise the Income Statement, Other Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity, Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Cash Flow Statement, 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 30 November 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. |
| 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. |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| J D Geering's Plumbing & Heating Limited |
| 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 five, 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 |
| J D Geering's Plumbing & Heating 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: |
| a) Identification with management of significant laws and regulations relating to the company, and how the |
| company maintains compliance. The key laws and regulations we considered included FRS 102, the Companies Act 2006 along with tax, employment, data protection and health and safety legislation. Non-compliance with any key laws or regulations may be fundamental to the company's ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. |
| b) Considering the competencies, independence, and integrity of individuals within the company to identify |
| and recognise non-compliance with laws and regulations. |
| c) Requesting management confirm and outline any instances of actual, suspected, or alleged fraud in the |
| year. This forms part of the company's representations to us. |
| d) Reviewing the company's internal control processes by way of substantive testing and journal entries |
| testing. The reasonable implementation of these processes would mitigate the likelihood of fraud. |
| As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain |
| professional scepticism throughout the audit, we also: |
| o Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or |
| error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is |
| sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material |
| misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, |
| forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. |
| o Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are |
| appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of |
| the internal control. |
| o Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates |
| and related disclosures made by the directors. |
| o Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based |
| on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that |
| may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a |
| material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related |
| disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our |
| conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, |
| future events or conditions may cause the company to cease to continue as a going concern. |
| o Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the |
| disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a |
| manner that achieves fair presentation. |
| We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope |
| and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control |
| that we identify during our audit. |
| 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. |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| J D Geering's Plumbing & Heating Limited |
| 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. |

| Notes to the Financial Statements |
| for the Year Ended 30 November 2024 |
| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| J D Geering's Plumbing & Heating Limited is a |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| Significant judgements and estimates |
| There are no judgements in relation to specific accounting policies that have a material effect on the amounts recognised within these financial statements. |
| There are no key sources of estimation or key assumptions concerning the future that carry a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of any assets or liabilities within the next financial year. |
| It is the case, however, that the Company's income is derived from long-term construction contracts for which the Company is required to make estimates in accounting for revenue and margin. These estimates may depend upon the outcome of future events and may need to be revised as circumstances change. |
| Turnover |
| Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. |
| Turnover represents the fair value of goods and services supplied by the Company, net of value added tax and trade discounts. |
| Turnover is derived from long-term contracts. Turnover in respect of rendering of these services is recognised with reference to the stage of completion of the contract. Stage of completion is measured by the value of work completed by the end of the financial year. |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Plant and machinery | - |
| Motor vehicles | - |
| Stock and work in progress |
| Stock and work in progress are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. |
| Taxation |
| Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, 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 balance sheet date. |

| Notes to the Financial Statements - continued |
| for the Year Ended 30 November 2024 |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| Deferred tax |
| Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all material timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet 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 profit or loss over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability. |
| Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss 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. |
