Paying the deposit safely
What is normal for this trade, what the balance sheet says, and how to pay so you are protected either way.
Normal for bespoke staircases and joinery
On a £15,000 job that is £4,500–£7,500 up front — the deposit covers materials and production labour, which are spent before anything is delivered.
The latest accounts show net assets of £342. That is normal for a small trade business — profits are usually drawn out — but it means a deposit paid by bank transfer would be effectively unsecured if the company failed. Your protection has to come from how you pay, not from the balance sheet.
A 30–50% deposit is normal for bespoke staircases and joinery. Pay it with the usual protections.
Ask for a card payment link
Any firm can send a card payment link in minutes (Stripe, SumUp, Square, PayPal). Paying by card through it gives you chargeback rights on a debit card and Section 75 on a credit card; a bank transfer or 'pay by bank' gives you neither in a dispute. A firm that refuses a card and insists on a transfer has told you something.
Put at least £100 on a credit card
If any part of a purchase between £100 and £30,000 is paid by credit card, Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act makes the card issuer jointly liable for the whole amount — including the part you pay by bank transfer. Ask the firm to take £100 or more on a credit card before you transfer the rest.
Get the legal entity on paper
Make sure the quote, contract and invoice name CONTINOX LTD (company no. 09967278) — not just the brand.
Keep the balance for completion
Whatever the deposit, the final payment should follow completion and snagging, not precede it.

Ways to pay, from most to least protected
Typical ranges reflect how the trade usually works; they are not a valuation of this business. Section 75 protection applies to purchases of £100–£30,000 where any part is paid by credit card.

Who is behind the website
Continox Modern Staircase & Glass Components is operated by CONTINOX LTD (company number 09967278), a private limited company incorporated on 2016-01-25 — 10 years ago. It has previously traded as M & M PROJECT MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS LTD and ZAGON DOMESTIC LTD. Its registered office is Office 41, 865 Ringwood Road, Bournemouth, Dorset, BH11 8LW. The company has 2 directors: IWANOWSKI, Wojciech Ryszard and ZAGRODNIK, Miroslaw Kazimierz. Ownership is recorded as Mr Miroslaw Kazimierz Zagrodnik.
Website versus register
One statement on the website differs from the register: the website says "own workshop", while the registered SIC codes contain no manufacturing activity — SIC codes are self-declared and often generic; ask where the workshop is and whether you can visit. None of these is a warning sign on its own; a genuine firm explains them in a sentence.
Financial standing
The latest accounts (to 2025-03-31) were filed under the micro-entity regime, which discloses only a summary balance sheet. They report net assets of £342.
Online footprint
The domain continox.uk was registered on 2019-09-24 (6 years ago). The Internet Archive first captured the site on 2020-09-30. We found 29 Google reviews going back to 2026-04. The website displays BS EN 1090; these can be verified on the schemes' own registers. For contact, the site shows a landline number and no postal address.
What this means for your money
This is a company with a multi-year record, timely filings and public reviews. Normal precautions apply: a written contract in the company's legal name, staged payments and a copy of the public liability insurance. A 30–50% deposit is normal for bespoke staircases and joinery. Pay it with the usual protections. The latest accounts show net assets of £342. That is normal for a small trade business — profits are usually drawn out — but it means a deposit paid by bank transfer would be effectively unsecured if the company failed. Your protection has to come from how you pay, not from the balance sheet.
