What should I ensure I have to cover myself after I've paid the deposit to the bathroom fitter?

Not very familiar with this kind of stuff. Having three bathrooms redone by a fitter who a friend used some time back. Going to pay him a deposit. Should he and I be signing some kind of contract? He's provided quotes, but what is to stop him from running off with my money? What should I ensure I have to cover myself in the event he doesn't carry out the work etc?

Pay him via visa debit card - it has similar protections to credit cards and a lot easier to get the money back from your bank than by bringing someone to court.
