Builders Limited is a well-established Northumberland-based domestic construction company with 47+ years of trading history and a solid net asset base exceeding £1 million, placing it in the upper tier of small regional builders. However, the FY2025 accounts reveal a critically depleted cash position (£8,765, down 95% from £168,908) coinciding with significant capital investment, rising hire purchase commitments, and aggressive dividend extraction of £221,330 — a combination that creates meaningful liquidity risk for a construction business. Whilst the company's market position, longevity, and recent workforce growth to 36 employees are positive indicators, the current financial structure lacks adequate liquidity buffers and requires careful management through what remains a challenging operating environment for UK domestic builders.","website":"http://dpbuilders.co.uk","links":{"page":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/ltd/dp-builders","people":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/dp-builders/people","filing_history":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/dp-builders/filing-history","companies_house":"https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/01332614","financials":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/dp-builders/financial","control":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/dp-builders/control","charges":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/dp-builders/charges","ai_analysis":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/dp-builders/analysis"},"source":"CompaniesInTheUK, from Companies House, The Gazette and other public registers (see /support/about).
