| Director's Report | |||||||
| The director presents his report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025. | |||||||
| Principal activities | |||||||
| The group's principal activities during the year were that of roofing contractors and scaffolding service providers. | |||||||
| Dividends | |||||||
| The director recommends a dividend of £136.per ordinary share (2024 £140). | |||||||
| Directors | |||||||
| The following persons served as directors during the year: | |||||||
| John Flowers | |||||||
| Director's responsibilities | |||||||
| The director is responsible for preparing the report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. | |||||||
| Company law requires the director to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the director has elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (Financial Reporting Standard 102 and applicable law). 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 director is required to: | |||||||
| ● | select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; | ||||||
| ● | make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; | ||||||
| ● | state whether applicable UK 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 director is 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 him to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. He is 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. | |||||||
| The director confirms that: | |||||||
| ● | |||||||
| ● | The directors have taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as directors in order to make themselves aware of any relevanant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information. | ||||||

| Strategic Report | ||
| The group of companies provide roofing and scaffolding services to the construction industry in the UK, and have over 30 years of experience in this sector. The directors now present the consolidated accounts, which reflect turnover achieved of £27,135,019 (2023: £24,769,084), and pre-tax profit of £4,301,452 (2023: £2,878,882). The directors of the group are confident that the group can maintain its market share in the foreseeable future, but are mindful of the constant pressures in the construction industry to drive down profit margins previously achieved. |
||
| Key Performance Indicators | ||
| The group has identified and details below, the following key performance indicators; | ||
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Turnover | 41,108,571 | 27,135,019 |
| Profit on ordinary activities before taxation | 6,102,270 | 4,301,452 |
| Gross Margin | 31.57% | 37.85% |
| Net Assets | 25,140,173 | 20,781,973 |
| All of the above indicators reflect the achievements that have been made by the group. | ||
| Future developments | ||
| The directors aim to maintain the management policies which have resulted in the group's growth in recent years. They consider that the next year will show some consolidation in turnover and reduction in profit margins as economic conditions in the UK continue to tighten, with raised interest rates and higher levels of inflation. | ||
| Principal risks and uncertainties | ||
| The performance of the group is subject to a number of risks, which are regularly reviewed by the board of directors, and appropriate processes are put in place to monitor and mitigate these risks. The principal risks faced by the company include maintaining sales margins, general product demand and supply chain issues, competition, employment levels, recruitment, skills and training of suitably skilled staff. | ||
| This report was approved by the board on 27 March 2026 and signed on its behalf. | ||

| Director | ||
| The directors have taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as directors in order to make themselves aware of any relevanant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information. | ||
| F & I Holdings Limited | ||
| Independent auditor's report | ||
| to the members of F & I Holdings Limited | ||
| We have audited the financial statements of F & I Holdings Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries ('the group') for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Consolidated Income Statement, the Consolidated and Company Statement of Financial Position, the Consolidated and Company Statement of Changes in Equity, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including 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 the 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 Group's and Parent Company's affairs as at 31 March 2025 and of its profit for the year then ended; | |
| ● | have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; | |
| ● | 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 Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group and Prent 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 Group or Parent 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 other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. 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. 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 course of 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 directors’ report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and | |
| ● | the strategic report and the directors’ report 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 Group and Parent Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the strategic report or the directors’ report. | ||
| We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which 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 directors’ responsibilities statement, 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 is 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 Group and Parent 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. | ||
| Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements | ||
| 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. We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to both the group itself and the industry in which it operates. We identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements from our sector experience and through discussion with the directors and other management. The most significant identified that directly affect the financial statements include financial reporting legislation (including related companies' legislation), distributable profits legislation, and taxation legislation. The group is subject to other laws and regulations where the consequences of non-compliance could have a material effect on amounts or disclosures in the financial statements, for instance through the imposition of fines or litigation. We identified the following areas as those most likely to have such an effect: Health and Safety legislation including the Working at Height Regulations, Employment Law and Data Protection regulations, and the Construction Industry Scheme rules recognising the nature of the group's activities. We considered the extent of compliance with those laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statements. Our audit procedures included: |
||
•obtaining an understanding of the internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations; •assessing the design effectiveness of the controls in place to prevent and detect fraud; •assessing the risk of management override, including identifying and testing journal entries; •challenging the assumptions and judgements made by management in its significant accounting estimates. |
||
| Our audit did not identify any key audit matters relating to the detection of irregularities including fraud. However, despite the audit being planned and conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) there remains an unavoidable risk that material misstatements in the financial statements may not be detected owing to inherent limitations of the audit and that by their very nature, any such instances of fraud or irregularity likely involve collusion, forgery, intentional misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. |
||
| A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report. | ||
| Use of our report | ||
| This report is made solely to the Parent 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 Parent Company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Parent Company and the Parent Company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. | ||

| Notes to the Accounts | ||||||||
| for the year ended 31 March 2025 | ||||||||
| 1 | Summary of significant accounting policies | |||||||
| Basis of preparation | ||||||||
| The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with FRS 102, The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland. Under section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 the Company is exempt from the requirement to present its own Profit and Loss Account. The profit for the year is set out in the Statement of Changes in Equity. |
||||||||
| Basis of consolidation | ||||||||
| The group accounts consolidate the financial statements of the company and its subsidiary undertakings, drawn up to 31st March 2024. | ||||||||
| Turnover | ||||||||
| Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value added taxes. Turnover includes revenue earned from the rendering of services. Turnover from the rendering of roofing, scaffolding and construction 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. | ||||||||
| Tangible fixed assets | ||||||||
| Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulative depreciation and any accumulative impairment losses. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, other than freehold land, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset evenly over its expected useful life, as follows: | ||||||||
| Plant and equipment | 15% per annum on the reducing balance basis and 4 years straight line basis | |||||||
| Computer equipment | 25% per annum straight line basis | |||||||
| Motor vehicles | 25% per annum on the reducing balance basis | |||||||
| Investments | ||||||||
| Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. All investments comprise shares in unlisted companies and are measured at historic cost less any accumulated impairment losses. | ||||||||
| Stock and work in progress | ||||||||
| Stock of raw materials is measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is determined using the first in first out method. Work in progress is measured at cost price including an estimated element of labour and overhead recovery. The carrying amount of stock sold is recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised. |
||||||||
| Debtors | ||||||||
| Short term debtors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price), less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. Loans and other financial assets are initially recognised at transaction price including any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. | ||||||||
| Creditors | ||||||||
| Short term creditors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price). Loans and other financial liabilities are initially recognised at transaction price net of any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method. | ||||||||
| Taxation | ||||||||
| A current tax liability is recognised for the tax payable on the taxable profit of the current and past periods. A current tax asset is recognised in respect of a tax loss that can be carried back to recover tax paid in a previous period. Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences between the recognition of income and expenses in the financial statements and their inclusion in tax assessments. 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. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference, except for revalued land and investment property where the tax rate that applies to the sale of the asset is used. Current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted. | ||||||||
| Provisions | ||||||||
| Provisions (ie liabilities of uncertain timing or amount) are recognised when there is an obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event, it is probable that economic benefit will be transferred to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably. | ||||||||
| Pensions | ||||||||
| The directors have taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as directors in order to make themselves aware of any relevanant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information. | ||||||||
| 2 | Critical accounting estimates and judgements | |||||||
| The group makes certain estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates, by definition, will not always be the same as the actual results. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on managements' historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under these circumstances. The estimates that have a significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year include depreciation charged on fixed assets, costs included in the value of stock and work in progress, prepaid and accrued expenditure, as well as turnover and cost of sales in the consolidated income statement where cut-off estimates have been included. | ||||||||
