What happened

FK CONSTRUCTION LIMITED (company number 09890502), incorporated in 2015, entered administration on 13 February 2026. Its status at Companies House is now: administration.

Why it failed

Costly litigation and adjudications, bad debts after two counterparties entered administration, delays, high finance costs and rejected insurance claims left the group unviable.

  • Main reason: Legal claims
  • Clients not paying or failing
  • Delays
  • Market downturn
  • Cash flow

Our summary of the reasons given in the administrators' proposals. These record the administrators' and directors' account of what happened.

An administrator, a licensed insolvency practitioner, takes control of the company to try to rescue it, sell the business or get a better result for creditors than a liquidation.

Previously known as: FK FACADES LIMITED.

The last accounts filed were full accounts made up to 31 March 2024, 22 months before it went into administration. Private companies have nine months after their year end to file, so a gap of more than 21 months usually means the next accounts were overdue, one of the warning signs worth checking for.

The full filing history, including any late filings, charges and director changes, is on Companies House.
