Underhill Building Services goes bust owing £1.3m

Long-running Underhill Building Services Ltd has been voluntarily wound up – but its linked Plymouth company Underhill Engineering Ltd is totally separate and unaffected.

The electrical, plumbing and joinery business was set up in 2001 but appointed liquidators in April 2023. 

Documents filed at Companies House reveal it was wound up with assets of just £6,000 but owed large sums to tax authorities and lenders.

The company left HM Revenue and Customs short of £327,875 and floating charge holder Lloyds Bank Plc claiming £43,601. However, the bulk of the company’s debts are owed to associated company The Rogers Group (SW) Ltd, claiming £243,688, and one of its own directors – Keith Underhill, who is owed £685,710.
