New garage - White Rose Buildings

We're due to have a new concrete Hanson garage installed by White Rose Buildings. I was a bit surprised to find in the paperwork that we have to pay in full to get an installation date (we know approx when it'll be) - I'm nervous of paying in full before installation, having only paid a deposit so far.  They have good reviews, it's just the payment part I'm nervous about - does anyone have any experience of this?  Thanks.

    Seems a bit cheeky! I'd make sure to use a protected method, ideally a Credit Card. You should then be safe, I understand.

    Thank you Bendy_House.  I just looked at the paperwork & it's Hanson Garages.  My son said if I pay any part of it by credit card the whole amount will be protected, so I'll 'phone them & do this.
