Hi Barbara, Have you agreed a payment schedule with your builder? We would encourage you to agree on a payment schedule before any work is carried out and also regarding your other question relating to payment of materials - some tradespeople may ask for a deposit to cover materials, tools and travel. This should not be more than 20% of the overall job price. We have further guidance at ratedpeople(dot)com//c/homeowner-checklist If you're at all concerned/need further advice, please do contact our Customer Support Team at ratedpeople(dot)com/contact/contact-us-form, and a member of the team will contact you to advise. Kind regards, Natalie The Ask an Expert Team
