Won a court judgement, what next?

Sorry if this is the wrong forum, long story short-I had some work done by a company, who refused to make right their mistake. I followed all the advice given by the CAB and won the full amount I claimed for. The date has now past for the payment, what is the best option for me to take to recover this money? From what I've read so far there are 3 options
1 warrant of control,
2 third party debt order
3 charging order
Any advice in what one to take?
Cheers

    What type of company? Sole trader / partnership / limited company?

    Are they still trading?

    If a limited company have you checked companies House to see what their financial stability is?

    How much is the judgment for?

    When were the 28 days up for them to pay it?

    Too little information for anyone to advise you.

    HCEO to grab goods from their premises, depending on what they do.

    If they have a show room and vehicles there will be loads an HCEO can lift. They won't want their computers boxed up and the vans clamped.
