METRAIL CONSTRUCTION LIMITED
Company number 06047478 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Metrail Construction Limited is a solvent, family-controlled specialised construction contractor with £2.08m of net assets, positive net current assets of £1.79m, and a clean filing record, warranting an overall MEDIUM risk rating. The principal concern is balance sheet composition rather than solvency: debtors of £3.88m represent 79% of total assets and 90% of current assets while cash has fallen 85% since FY2021 to £279k, leaving a cash ratio of roughly 0.11 against £2.52m of near-term creditors, and the composition and recoverability of those debtors cannot be verified from the truncated accounts provided. The rating should be revisited once the debtors note, ageing analysis, and turnover data are obtained; a material related-party or impaired component within debtors would justify an upward revision to HIGH.
