June 2026 performance

Month three of FY2026/27. Turnover more than doubled on last June and the month still lost money. Prepared 26 August 2026 on the job costed basis: every repair, install and estate agent job carries the materials and subcontract labour it consumed. All figures exclude VAT.

The verdict

June turned over £17,811.88, up 115.4% on last June, and returned the worst contribution of the year at £3,340.87. Volume and profit moved in opposite directions.

Three things did it. Four installs returned only 13.4% between them because Emma Smetham lost £554.34. Five subcontracted repairs netted £1.37 in total. And Frank took seven days off, leaving 15 workable days against 20 in April.

June is the month that makes the case for the whole rebuild. On the old reporting it looked like a strong month because turnover was high.

Prepared 26 August 2026 on the job costed basis
This report restates June 2026 on the basis agreed on 25 August and first used for July: every repair, install and estate agent job carries the materials and subcontract labour it consumed, repairs are split by who delivered them, and van stock is charged to the repairs that used it. It supersedes anything previously issued for this month. The underlying dataset is ghc-source-data.json in this folder.

Frank’s cost to run is £5,422.74: £4,346.85 to employer, £390.00 of vehicle hire and fuel, and £685.89 of agency fees and van stock that April to June do not split out. His salary was paid in full for 15 workable days.

On output per workable day June was within 4% of the April and May average, so it was a short month rather than a weak one. The agent book also cost £450.80 to serve, the heaviest of the year, £170.00 of it PN Electrical attending two jobs.

Not yet available
April to June agency fees are not split from van stock in any source held, so the estate agent book is stated before fees. June job counts by line are not yet available, and the workable day count of 15 needs confirming against the analysis workbook, which shows 17.

Subcontracted repairs and services

June’s repairs delivered by a subcontractor, on the sales invoice date, each carrying the labour and parts that job consumed. Repairs Frank carried out himself are in his scorecard in section 1. Install labour and materials are in section 3.

Two of them lost money. Nick Galvin took two men for a day, billed £479.00 and cost £578.53. Lucy Johnson was billed £240.00 at a discounted rate against £300.00 paid to John Tate. The three that made money made £158.16 between them.

Three months in, this block has taken £2,298.45 of sales and returned £241.57.

Subcontracted installs

Each install carries its own materials and subcontract days whatever month they were bought, and each bar is the contract value split into labour, materials and margin.

Four installs, £8,302.56 of contract value, and £1,110.14 left. At 13.4% it is the worst install month of the year and Emma Smetham is the reason.

Smetham cost £1,692.26 to deliver against a contract of £1,137.92 after a £304.58 discount. Four Nicky days were recharged against it, not the two the job sheet assumed, and £95.55 of Wolseley and £103.90 of Acorn had never been attached. Without the discount it still loses £249.76.

Neil Sheperd is the other one to watch at 13.9%, where materials took 71.5% of the contract. Cliff Terrace and Brian Peace both came in around 30%, which is where they should be.

Turnover and gross profit against the target

Each month has to clear £6,037.27 of contribution: the real overhead plus the £320 a month of operating profit the year needs.

How the bar is struck
Overheads run £5,717.27 across April and May, the two fully posted months, measured on a cost to employer basis with Frank in direct costs and Rachel and Sarah in overheads. Adding the £320 a month of operating profit the year needs gives a bar of £6,037.27 of contribution a month. This replaces the earlier £4,820 line, which assumed overheads of about £4,500 and understated the cost base by roughly a third.

June is the widest miss of the year at £2,696.40 below the bar. The three month average is £4,669.55, which is £1,367.72 a month short.

Frank has made money every month and June is his weakest, down £1,802.57 on May on seven days off and a heavier agent cost.

Installs made money in April and June and nothing in May, and the June margin was less than half April’s. Subcontracted repairs have now lost money in all three months.

Overheads fell £897.57 in June as the garage work dropped out, which is the only thing that stopped June being worse than May.

Running costs and the operating result

Overheads are administrative costs plus Rachel and Sarah at cost to employer. Estate agent fees are not here; they sit in section 1 against the revenue they relate to.

People are at each month’s own cost. The WarmFloors recharge for Sarah begins in June at £438.46 and reduces the overhead from that month on. June also loses May’s one off garage work.

Insurance, rent and telephone are accrued in June
Three fixed monthly charges had not posted in June: insurance at £259.50, rent at £675.00 and telephone at £142.11. Rather than show them at nil and caveat the result, they are accrued at their monthly amount, £1,075.50 in total. Nothing in this report is waiting on a cost to land.

Against the £3,840 annual target the pro rata expectation after three months is £960. The business has lost £2,421.97, so it is £3,381.97 behind. Two thirds of that gap opened in May and June.

Outlook and the task from here

June is the month to learn from. The work was there and the pricing was not: one install below cost, five subcontracted repairs earning nothing, and a short month from the only person who reliably makes money.

The fix is in quoting rather than in volume. Install pricing has to hold the discipline Cliff Terrace and Brian Peace showed, and a repair cannot be priced as a call out if a subcontractor is going to deliver it.

Open items
Whether the June Mr Murray call out was James Atkinson’s, since the £100.00 invoice covering it describes the 5 and 6 June visits. The April to June agency fee split, so the estate agent book can be stated after fees rather than before them. The £278.97 Honeywell Sundial programmer bought for Christian Jorissen on 7 April and never billed to him. Mr Whaley’s two unrecharged Nicky days and the £25.00 on Ash Nicholson that the job sheet and the ledger disagree on. Job counts by line and workable days, so the activity metrics in section 1 can be completed. And whether £390.00 remains the right monthly figure for vehicle hire and fuel.
