Ashton Building Systems (Scotland) Limited Notes to the Accounts for the period from 4 April 2024 to 31 March 2025
1
Statutory information
Ashton Building Systems (Scotland) Limited is a private company, limited by shares, registered in Scotland, registration number SC229975. The registered office is Ashton House, Ground Floor, Pavilion 8, 315 Govan Road, Watermark Business Park, Glasgow, G51 2SE, Scotland.
2
Compliance with accounting standards
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of FRS 102 Section 1A Small Entities. There were no material departures from that standard.
3
Accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below and have remained unchanged from the previous period, and also have been consistently applied within the same accounts.
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 they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
Basis of preparation
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost basis.
Presentation currency
The accounts are presented in £ sterling.
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 from the sale of goods is recognised when goods have been delivered to customers such that risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to them. Turnover from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion of a contract is measured by comparing the costs incurred for work performed to date to the total estimated contract costs.
Taxation
Current tax is recognised on taxable profit for the current and past periods. Current tax is measured at the amounts of tax expected to pay or recover using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax arises as a result of including items of income and expenditure in taxation computations in periods different from those in which they are included in the company's accounts. Deferred tax is provided in full on timing differences which result in an obligation to pay more (or less) tax at a future date, at the average tax rates that are expected to apply when the timing differences reverse, based on current tax rates and laws. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Ashton Building Systems (Scotland) Limited Notes to the Accounts for the period from 4 April 2024 to 31 March 2025
Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible assets are included at cost less depreciation and impairment. Depreciation has been provided at the following rates in order to write off the assets over their estimated useful lives:
Land & buildings
25 years
Plant & machinery
5 years
Motor vehicles
3, 4 & 5 years
Fixtures & fittings
Equal instalments over the period of the lease
Computer equipment
2 & 4 years
Other tangible fixed assets
10 years
Inventories
Inventories have been valued at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the stocks to their present location and condition.
Leased assets
Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged against profit on a straight line basis over the lease term. Assets held under finance leases and hire purchase contracts are capitalised and depreciated over their useful lives. The corresponding lease or hire purchase obligation is treated in the balance sheet as a liability. The interest element of rental obligations is charged to the profit and loss account over the period of the lease at a constant proportion of the outstanding balance of capital repayments.
Government grants
The company adopts the accrual model in respect of grants. Grants in relation to tangible fixed assets are credited to the profit and loss account over the useful lives of the related assets, whereas those in relation to expenditure are credited when the expenditure is charged to profit and loss.
Pension costs
The company operates a defined contribution scheme for the benefit of its employees. Contributions payable are recognised in the profit and loss account when due. The company also contributes to the personal pension schemes of a director and a member of key management personnel. The contributions are recognised as an expense in the profit and loss account when paid.
Financial instruments
Financial instruments are classified and accounted for as financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments according to the substance of the contractual arrangement. Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously. Financial assets are measured at cost less any provision for impairment. Financial liabilities are measured at principal capital amounts outstanding at the period end. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities. A financial liability is any contractual arrangement for an entity to deliver cash to the holder of the associated financial instrument.
