That makes 24 failures in the register for 2026 so far. See them all by month, with the biggest and why they failed.

The register covers larger firms (those filing full, group or medium-sized accounts) and well-known failures we have checked, not every insolvency. Companies that failed some years ago and have since been dissolved are under-represented, so it isn't a complete count. The Insolvency Service publishes the official monthly totals for all construction insolvencies.

Before you take on work for a main contractor, check its CR Signals and where it sits in the payment league table.

Construction Rating lets subcontractors review the main contractors they work for. If you've worked for one, add your experience.
