Customer in administration owing funds

I would like to know if anybody knows my legal rights to repossessing goods not paid for.
I have a small business and recently have been chasing a company (a small building company) owing us approx £5000 for work done for them as part of a larger job they were doing. We have chased several times and they posted a cheque to us which then bounced. We contacted them several times and they promised that they were moving to another bank and that they would resend when this is done. Again we chased this and questioned them about going into administration and they laughed this off and said it would be sorted, our last contact being Friday 23rd Oct. Again I chased on Tuesday 27th to find out that they were in administration as of Monday 26th.
I contacted the administrator to find that if any i may get some money in approx 6 months time.
What I need to know is because I had an official order from them and work was done by us when requested and then not paid am I able to repossess the goods.
The job was a refurb ay a Police Station and we installed garage doors over their file storage. Any advise please.
