Want help removing personal details from eligible Companies House documents? Tell Coddan which details concern you, the company or LLP involved and any earlier application. We review the relevant filings, assess apparent eligibility, prepare the agreed SR01 application and coordinate submission. You check the information before it is submitted; Companies House decides the outcome.
Personal help with your SR01 application
Ask Coddan by telephone or email during working hours about the information needed, preparation, application queries and next steps. The agreed service provides a point of coordination; additional address changes or other work are discussed separately.
Coddan’s professional fee is £48.99 + VAT, with the £34 Companies House fee for each listed document charged separately. See the cost examples and additional-service scope before ordering.
Explain the result you want without identifying every affected document yourself. Coddan reviews the agreed filing history, checks apparent eligibility and identifies relevant address changes. Straightforward requests can use the listed service; wider reviews or different procedures have their scope and charges agreed before further work.
The service covers agreed review, application preparation, continuation pages, payment-reference and submission checks, and follow-up on application queries. You can see what the professional work provides alongside the separate statutory charge. An additional address service is chosen when needed, rather than added automatically.
Use the current online order form for a suitable instruction, or ask us first if you are unsure. Have the company name and number, the personal details causing concern and any Companies House correspondence available. Agree with Coddan how to supply personal application information and documents.
An existing registered office, SAIL or service address may need attention before suppression can proceed. Coddan can coordinate separately instructed address work alongside the application. If the issue involves credit-reference-agency protection or unauthorised address use, we help identify the appropriate next step rather than assume SR01 resolves everything.
Coddan CPM Limited E-Quick Package appears on the Companies House electronic-formation agents list. For this existing-records service, Coddan’s work is reviewing the relevant information, preparing the agreed application and coordinating submission. The formation listing concerns electronic incorporation capability; Companies House assesses the SR01 request separately.
Coddan CPM Limited is an HMRC-supervised trust or company service provider and a Companies House-registered Authorised Corporate Service Provider. Those roles are distinct from the SR01 decision. AML customer checks and Companies House identity verification are separate processes; these statuses do not guarantee suppression or constitute government endorsement.
SR01 concerns eligible details on the Companies House public register. It does not automatically remove copies held by search engines or other organisations. You can also apply directly using the official form and instructions; Coddan’s professional assistance is optional.
Discuss the application, any address changes needed first or an earlier Companies House response. We confirm the work we can accept, charges and any relevant service period. A written service agreement, engagement letter or service schedule is available as applicable. Related services have their own agreed scope.
Email info@coddan.co.uk or telephone 020 7935 5171 during working hours. An enquiry creates no obligation to order. Agree the handling of personal application information before sending it.
Protect your residential privacy with a professionally managed Companies House address-suppression application.
If your home address appears in eligible documents on the Companies House public register, you may be able to apply for its removal under Section 1088 of the Companies Act 2006. Form SR01 provides an individual application route for requesting the removal of eligible personal details, including a residential address, from the public register.
Coddan CPM Ltd offers a managed Form SR01 service for individuals who want professional assistance identifying affected filings, assessing apparent eligibility, preparing the application and coordinating submission under the current Companies House procedure.
Clear professional fee. Statutory charges shown separately.
Our professional fee is £48.99 + Value Added Tax (VAT), with the Companies House statutory document fees charged separately. If a registered-office or director service-address change is needed, we can discuss the appropriate address service as a separate option.
Review relevant Companies House filing history and identify documents containing the address.
Identify potential application issues and any address changes that may be required first.
Prepare the application and required continuation pages using the information provided.
Check the payment reference and submission requirements, then follow up on application queries and communicate the outcome.
For straightforward cases, use the order route. If you are unsure which documents are affected or whether a replacement address is required, contact Coddan for an initial assessment. Address suppression is subject to the statutory rules and Companies House assessment. The service does not guarantee acceptance or remove personal information from every public or third-party record.
Section 1088 of the Companies Act 2006 provides the legal basis for regulations allowing Companies House to restrict public inspection or disclosure of certain information relating to individuals. The relevant framework includes the Companies (Disclosure of Address) Regulations 2009, as amended.
Form SR01 is used by an individual to request the removal of specified personal details from eligible documents on the Companies House public register. The current official guidance covers residential addresses and, in qualifying circumstances, certain other personal information.
The purpose is to reduce the public exposure of eligible personal details while preserving the statutory functions of the company register. Address suppression does not mean that Companies House must erase every record of an individual or that all information held by public authorities becomes inaccessible.
Depending on the documents, the information involved and the applicable rules, an application may seek removal of:
Not every document or every item of personal information is eligible. Companies House publishes a list of documents that may be considered for suppression, and the applicant must identify the affected filings correctly.
Important distinction: Section 1088 is the statutory framework; Form SR01 is the application route relevant to the individual seeking suppression. Other situations, including applications made by a company or requests involving serious safety risks, may be subject to different procedures.
Official references: Section 1088 legislation and Form SR01 guidance.
The first step is to identify precisely where the address or other personal detail appears. A company’s filing history may contain several documents showing the same residential address, and each eligible document must be identified in the application.
Examples may include an incorporation filing, a director appointment or change-of-details filing, or another document included in Companies House’s current list of eligible documents. These are examples only; the presence of a document in the filing history does not automatically establish that every detail within it can be removed.
You may be able to apply to remove a home address from historical filings, including an address previously used as a registered office. Changing an address today does not necessarily resolve earlier public disclosures.
A director’s service address is used for relevant official correspondence and displayed on the public register. If you are a serving officer and the home address is your current service or correspondence address, the SR01 application must include a replacement address.
Form SR01 can cover eligible signatures, business occupations and the day component of qualifying historic dates of birth. The official guidance contains exclusions and specific conditions.
For a home address previously used as the company’s registered office, the application must identify the original filing that introduced the home address as the registered office. Listing only the later filing that changed the registered office can result in rejection.
The rules differ where you no longer hold the relevant position or the company has been dissolved. A replacement service address is not automatically required in every SR01 case.
The safest approach is to establish the precise documents, dates and details involved before calculating the statutory fee or preparing the application.
An address-suppression application may require an address change before the application can be completed. The correct action depends on how the residential address is recorded and whether it remains in active use.
If the home address you want to suppress is still the company's registered office, the registered office must be changed before completing Form SR01. If the company has been dissolved, the official guidance requires a six-month waiting period before applying to remove an address that was used as its registered office.
If the home address is also recorded as the company's SAIL, that SAIL address must be changed before completing the SR01 application. Check the current official completion guidance before submission.
If you are a current serving officer and the home address is your current service or correspondence address, you must provide a replacement service address in the SR01 application. A professional service address can help separate personal residential details from public corporate correspondence.
These addresses serve different legal and administrative purposes. A registered office is the company's official registered address; a director's service address is used for correspondence with that individual; and a SAIL is a location where specified company records are available for inspection.
Changing one address does not necessarily change the others. Where address changes are required, they should be identified and coordinated before the suppression application is completed.
Coddan can discuss the relevant address arrangements as separate services, subject to confirming the appropriate service and price:
The application must be prepared against the current official form and guidance. Errors in the document details, fee payment or address information can lead to rejection.
You can apply directly to Companies House using the official SR01 form and instructions. Coddan’s professional assistance is optional; the statutory application fee remains payable whichever route you use.
To help establish the scope of the work, be ready to provide:
Coddan can help identify the relevant filings as part of the agreed review. You supply accurate personal and company information, explain the result you want and check the prepared application before submission. If you are arranging help for someone else, identify the applicant and your authority to instruct and receive updates; paying for the service does not itself give that authority. Agree how personal application details and documents will be supplied before sending them.
Official reference: How to complete Form SR01.
Form SR01 is an individual application. Professional assistance can make the administrative work easier to manage, particularly when an address appears in multiple filings or a registered-office change must be coordinated first.
Tell us which personal details concern you, the company or LLP involved and any earlier application or Companies House correspondence. You do not need to diagnose the procedure or find every affected filing before asking. Coddan helps establish the appropriate work, prepares the agreed application and keeps the next step clear.
Review relevant Companies House records to identify documents containing the address or other personal details within the agreed scope.
Assess apparent eligibility and flag potential issues, exclusions or prerequisite address changes.
Prepare Form SR01 and any required continuation pages using the information supplied and the official requirements.
Check the document list and statutory-fee calculation, coordinate the payment reference and prepare the submission in accordance with the current procedure.
Submit the application through the agreed process, follow up on queries and communicate the outcome.
The service is intended to reduce avoidable administrative errors and provide a single point of coordination. Companies House remains responsible for determining whether the application satisfies the applicable requirements and whether the requested suppression can be granted.
Coddan checks the affected filings, the personal information involved and any address changes needed first. We prepare the agreed form and continuation pages against those facts, so the request identifies the relevant documents. You check the information and approve the application before the agreed submission.
The agreed service includes submission checks, follow-up on application queries and communication of the outcome. Companies House decides what can be suppressed. Read its response against the application: further clarification, a corrected application or separate work may remain. Ask Coddan about the response before assuming that every record or third-party copy has changed.
Before work proceeds, agree the applicant, relevant company or LLP, documents to be reviewed, accepted preparation and submission work, charges and Coddan contact. A written service agreement, engagement letter or service schedule is available as applicable to record the selected work. An enquiry does not commit you to ordering or include unlimited review.
Where the case requires a registered-office change, SAIL change or replacement service address, Coddan can discuss the relevant service and coordinate the work if separately instructed.
Those services are not automatically included in the £48.99 + VAT SR01 professional fee. Their scope, fees and timing should be confirmed before the additional work begins.
Similarly, if the filing history reveals more documents than expected, a separate issue with an earlier filing, or a situation that calls for a different legal or administrative procedure, the next step should be agreed with the customer rather than assumed to be included.
The service does not guarantee acceptance, suppression of every document, a fixed processing time or removal from external websites. It also does not replace the applicant's responsibility to provide accurate information, review the application and satisfy any personal requirements that cannot be completed by an agent.
The professional fee, Companies House charges and optional address services are separate items. This allows you to understand the cost of the SR01 work before deciding whether additional address services are needed.
The following examples use the current stated £34 statutory fee per listed document. They exclude optional address services and assume the standard professional fee is £48.99 + VAT.
| Cost item | 1 document | 3 documents | 5 documents |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coddan professional fee, excluding VAT | £48.99 | £48.99 | £48.99 |
| Companies House fee | £34.00 | £102.00 | £170.00 |
| Subtotal before VAT | £82.99 | £150.99 | £218.99 |
| VAT on Coddan fee at 20%, if applicable | £9.80 | £9.80 | £9.80 |
| Illustrative total | £92.79 | £160.79 | £228.79 |
These figures illustrate the cost structure, not a final quotation. Confirm the number of eligible documents and current statutory fee before payment. VAT treatment of the professional service should be shown on the final quotation or invoice.
The prices above do not include a registered-office address, a director or PSC service address, a SAIL change, or a separate credit-reference-agency protection application.
Potentially, yes. You may apply to remove an eligible home address from documents covered by the current SR01 rules. Eligibility depends on the document, the information shown and any applicable address-change requirements. Companies House determines the application outcome.
No. The application is made by an individual, but the eligibility of the information and documents must be checked against the official rules. Do not assume that directors, company secretaries, subscribers, members, people with significant control and charity trustees all qualify in the same way or can use the same process for every record.
Yes, an eligible former registered-office address may be considered for suppression. You must identify the original filing that introduced the home address as the registered office. If the address remains the current registered office, it must be changed before completing SR01. Where the company has been dissolved, the official guidance specifies a six-month waiting period.
Only in the circumstances specified by the rules. If you are a current serving officer and the home address is your current service or correspondence address, you must provide a replacement service address. You do not need to complete that replacement-address section if you are no longer a serving officer or the company is dissolved.
If the home address you want to suppress is also the company's SAIL, the official SR01 completion guidance says you must change the SAIL address before completing the application. A SAIL is distinct from both the registered office and an individual's service address.
Coddan's agreed professional fee is £48.99 + VAT. The current Companies House statutory fee is £34 for each document listed in the application. Optional address services and separate credit-reference-agency protection are additional and must be quoted separately.
The form allows you to list multiple documents, including on continuation pages. The statutory fee applies to each document listed. Each document must be identified correctly, and it must be eligible under the current rules.
The current official instructions require the applicant to enter their printed name in the authentication section; a signature is not required there. Check the current form and guidance before submission.
Processing time can vary. Companies House aims to process applications without delay, but Coddan cannot promise a fixed turnaround. An application that requires clarification or is rejected may take longer to resolve.
Not automatically. Suppression concerns eligible information on the Companies House register and documents covered by the decision. Search engines, archived copies and third-party databases may retain information obtained previously. Separate removal requests may be needed.
No. Suppression from the public register and protection from credit reference agencies are separate procedures with different eligibility requirements and fees. If you believe you qualify for both, assess each route independently.
The reason for rejection should be reviewed against the official instructions and the submitted documents. Coddan's agreed service includes follow-up on application queries and communication of the outcome. Corrective work, a new application or additional document fees may be required depending on the circumstances; any additional professional charges should be agreed before that work proceeds.
Removing an eligible residential address from the Companies House public register begins with understanding where the address appears, which documents can be considered for suppression and whether an address change is required first.
Coddan can help you assess the filing history, prepare the Form SR01 application and coordinate the submission process. Where the case requires a replacement registered office, service address or SAIL, the additional work can be discussed separately.
For a straightforward case where you know which address you want to suppress, start the order process. The professional fee is £48.99 + VAT, with statutory document fees charged separately.
Start a Form SR01 orderIf you are unsure which filings contain your address, whether your registered office or SAIL needs changing, or whether a different procedure applies, request an assessment before ordering. Start with the company name and number and a brief description of the issue. Coddan can explain the information and agreed review needed; you do not need to send full personal application details in an initial enquiry.
