Quickbuild Ltd Faces Winding-Up Petition
A winding-up petition has been presented against Quickbuild Ltd at the Central Registry of Winding-up Petitions under case reference CR-2026-007317 on 22 September 2026. Presentation of a petition is a formal court action by a creditor seeking to wind up a company, but it is not a determination of insolvency. The legal outcome remains a matter for the court.
Petition details
The High Court CE-File public registry confirms the following details regarding the court filing:
| Record Field | Details |
| :--- | :--- |
| Company Name | Quickbuild Ltd |
| Company Reference Number | 11109533 |
| Case Number | CR-2026-007317 |
| Filing Date | 22 September 2026 |
| Case Type | Companies - Petition - Winding Up Petition |
| Filing Court / Source | Central Registry of Winding-up Petitions (CE-File) |

Under Section 122(1)(f) of the Insolvency Act 1986, a creditor may apply for a winding-up order if a company is unable to pay its debts. However, the initial filing at the Central Registry reflects the creditor's petition and does not imply that the court has made an order or reached a finding of insolvency.
Company snapshot
Official records at Companies House state that Quickbuild Ltd was incorporated on 13 December 2017 under company number 11109533.

- Standard Industrial Classification (SIC): 41202 (Construction of domestic buildings)

The company's status on the register currently indicates an active proposal to strike off, a process governed by the Companies Act 2006. When a winding-up petition is presented alongside a strike-off proposal, statutory processes may conflict, as an active winding-up petition usually pauses compulsory strike-off action to allow High Court proceedings to take precedence.
Directors and ownership
Official register filings list the following individuals as directors of Quickbuild Ltd:
- Mr Dhanraj Bhairoo: Appointed as director on 24 February 2020. Born in November 1968, British nationality, resident in the United Kingdom.

Recent filings and Gazette activity
As of 23 September 2026, no statutory notices regarding this specific petition have appeared in The Gazette.
Under Rule 7.10 of the Insolvency (England and Wales) Rules 2016, a petitioning creditor must wait seven business days after serving the petition on the company's registered office before advertising the petition in The Gazette. Until advertisement occurs, public notice remains restricted primarily to court record inspections at the Central Registry.
What this means for suppliers, creditors and counterparties
The presentation of a winding-up petition creates immediate operational and financial risks for businesses dealing with the respondent company. Section 127 of the Insolvency Act 1986 provides that any disposition of company property made after the commencement of the winding-up is void unless validated by court order.
For creditors and suppliers evaluating risk, carrying out a comprehensive winding up search helps establish clear timelines before extending trade credit or fulfilling orders.
Counterparty decision framework
1. Verify Court Status: Run a formal winding up search at the Central Registry or inspect today's court listing on the daily winding-up petitions list.
2. Review Section 127 Exposure: Pause payments or property transfers pending clarification, as unvalidated post-petition payments risk clawback if a winding-up order is ultimately granted.
3. Assess Security Positions: Review existing debentures or fixed charges against company assets to understand priority rankings.
4. Establish Direct Legal Communication: Require formal confirmation from the company regarding whether a validation order is being sought under Insolvency Act 1986 s.127.
Scenario: Managing supply risk after court notice
Consider a trade supplier supplying materials worth £25,000 on 30-day payment terms to a construction business. Upon discovering that a petition was filed on CE-File, the supplier's credit team pauses dispatch of further goods. Performing a winding up petition search allows the supplier to determine that no validation order exists. Consequently, continuing unhedged delivery would risk non-payment or restitution demands from a future liquidator, demonstrating why immediate operational freezes are standard risk mitigation steps.
How to investigate further
Commercial credit management requires rapid verification across multiple registries. Traditionally, verifying court listings required physical inspection of court cause lists, manual cross-checks against Companies House filings, or requesting verbal updates from court staff.
Using centralized tracking tools streamlines this process. Interested parties can perform a dedicated winding up search to review high-court filings or set up free company monitoring to receive automatic filing alerts whenever changes occur on a company's public register.

For credit teams and suppliers
Credit management professionals and legal advisors routinely verify winding-up filings during transaction execution, trade extension, or client onboarding. Missing an active petition can lead to uncollectable debts or post-petition transaction invalidation. Implementing automated monitoring controls ensures exposure is flagged before court proceedings progress to advertisement or winding-up orders.
FAQ
What happens after a winding-up petition is presented?
Once a petition is presented at court, the petitioner serves it on the company. A hearing date is scheduled by the High Court. The petitioner usually advertises the petition in The Gazette no less than seven business days after service, after which bank accounts are frequently frozen by financial institutions.
How long does it take from petition presentation to a court hearing?
Court hearing dates vary depending on court list availability, but hearings typically take place between four and eight weeks after the petition is filed at the Central Registry.
Can a company stop a winding-up petition?
Yes. A company may pay the debt in full, negotiate a settlement or CVA, apply for an injunction to restrain advertisement if the debt is genuinely disputed on substantial grounds, or apply to place the company into administration.
Does presenting a petition mean the company is insolvent?
No. The presentation of a petition represents an application by a creditor asserting an unpaid debt. Insolvency is a legal determination made by the court upon hearing the evidence.
