Paying deposit for goods and services

in Credit cards
Am having some automatic garage doors and other driveway improvements done which will amount to about £3000. The manufacturer/fitter does not want to accept deposit via credit card as he claims it is too expensive although I have said the final payment will be through bank transfer . In the past I have lost a substantial deposit as the supplier went into liquidation so do need some reassurance that the deposit is safe. Any suggestions would be welcome.

Not if bank transfer is the only way.
Will he accept a debit card?0 -
See if he will accept £1 on the credit card, that's all you need for S75 cover0
