What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Topps Tiles do not have a standard set of terms; instead terms are negotiated with individual suppliers. The most commonly used payment terms for Topps Tiles are payments by: (a) the end of the following month (ranging from 30 to 60 days), (b) the end of the month plus 60 days, (c) 90 days, and (d) 120 days.
Dispute resolution
Any complaints from suppliers would usually be received by the Finance team. Upon receipt of a complaint, the Finance team would investigate the reason for the complaint, and revert back to the supplier with a response. The team aim to resolve complaints and disputes in a timely manner and as efficiently as possible for both parties. The usual timescale is 2-3 working days, if not sooner.
Other information
These terms are typically used for Far Eastern suppliers where we take ownership of the stock at the port in the Far East and payment terms recognise the amount of time the stock is in transit to us.

What a 43-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 43-day vs a 30-day payment cycle.
Late Payment Act. The Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 lets a supplier charge statutory interest and fixed compensation on invoices paid past agreed terms. Work out what a late invoice is worth → Whether it applies depends on your contract — check with an adviser.

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).
