At last after years of saving and procrastinating I'm getting a new bathroom installed. I'm happy with the quote, and I've agreed all the new bathroom 'products' (bath, loo etc.). Work is due to start next week. It now seems I've misunderstood how much needs to be paid in advance. The company told me £600 before installation and the rest on completion which I was fine with. I've now been invoiced for the total cost of the products, plus £600 which is towards labour, disposal etc. this week - with the rest of the labour costs due on completion. So I'd be paying about £2500 total now, with about £1500 when it's done. Is this usual? I was surprised to be asked to pay so much upfront when I'd expected it to be less - I can pay it, just want to be sure I'm not being taken for a ride.
