The Charlton Kings house builder entered creditors' voluntary liquidation on 30 July, days after a strike-off notice. Where creditors can turn.
McCauley Construction Limited, a house building firm registered in Charlton Kings, has gone into creditors’ voluntary liquidation. Notices published in The Gazette on 10 August record that the company resolved on 30 July 2026 to wind itself up, and that Michael Durkan of Cheltenham insolvency firm Durkan Cahill was appointed liquidator the same day. (The Gazette, notice 5188707)
What the record shows
The appointment notice gives the company’s business as “construction of domestic buildings” and its registered office as 4 Sandhurst Villas, Sandhurst Road, Charlton Kings. Mr Durkan, of Durkan Cahill at Montpellier House on Montpellier Drive, was appointed by the company’s members and creditors on 30 July. (The Gazette, notice 5188708)
Companies House shows the company was incorporated on 5 April 2016, with Daniel John McCauley and Rachel Helen McCauley its directors throughout its ten years. Its final accounts, covering the year to 30 April 2025, were filed on 27 January 2026. The register also shows its annual confirmation statement, due by 18 April 2026, as overdue, and on 28 July, two days before the winding-up resolution, Companies House issued a first Gazette notice to strike the company off the register, the process it starts when it has cause to believe a company is no longer carrying on business. The liquidation now supersedes that. (Companies House, company 10103353)
A creditors’ voluntary liquidation is the route for closing a company that cannot pay its debts: the directors resolve to wind it up and a licensed insolvency practitioner takes over, selling any assets and sharing the proceeds among creditors.
What it means for you
If the company owes you money, whether you are a supplier, a subcontractor or a customer who paid a deposit or has unfinished work, you are a creditor in the liquidation. The Gazette notices direct enquiries to Karolina Kocon at Durkan Cahill on 01242 250811 or Karolina@durkancahill.com. (The Gazette, notice 5188708)
If you had building work booked or under way, the public record does not say what happens to individual contracts; the liquidator’s office is the route to a direct answer, and any claim for money paid ahead of work not done is a claim in the liquidation.
