The read · computed from their figures
Mace Limited's H1 2026 filing puts their average at 30 days against stated terms of 30 days; 25% of invoices were paid outside agreed terms and 10% took 61 days or longer. Filed 30 Jul 2026.
The direction is slower: from 26 days in H2 2023 to 30 now — 4 days slower across their last 6 reports.
On the latest reported averages: Faster than 65% of the 394 large companies reporting in construction.
That is 17 statutory periods on record (earliest H1 2018) — a historical record, not a promise for a new invoice.
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
30 days are our most frequently used terms, although we have agreed longer terms with some of our suppliers. Some suppliers insist on payment on receipt of invoice and these are processed on the next available payment run.

How UK payment reporting works
What is a Payment Practices Report?
What does "paid outside agreed terms" mean?
How often is this data updated?
Is this official government data?
How this is compiled. Built from official records only: Companies House and the gov.uk payment-practices service. The payment figures are self-reported — companies over the size threshold must file them by law and the board signs them off. No credit-agency data. The numbers are theirs; the plain-English read is ours. This is information compiled from public records under the Open Government Licence v3.0 — not a credit rating and not advice.
The 31-day comparison figure is the median across 6,104 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
