Reported terms and dispute process
- Standard payment terms
Crest’s standard payment terms for product suppliers are 30 days end of month (equivalent to payment at the end of following calendar month of invoice date)
Crest’s standard construction contract payment terms for subcontractors is 34 days plus 2 days for Bacs transfer following the subcontractor’s valid application for payment. - Dispute resolution process
Detailed information is available on www.crestnicholson.com/legal-information/supply-chain including details of contacts within Crest, process documentation for submitting invoices, applications to pay through to payments, remittances and query processes. This includes escalation and dispute resolution details. This is intended to support both Product suppliers and subcontractors.
For Product suppliers your first point of call for invoice related queries should be your bought ledger regional contact. They will be able to advise if your invoice has been received, processed or paid and provide details of the remittance. If the document has not been approved you will be directed to the Crest owner of the purchase order associated with the invoice to resolve the issue. To ensure prompt payment all product invoices must quote a valid purchase order number and should be sent in via email not by post.
If you are a subcontractor and have any concerns around the processing of your payment you are advised to speak directly with your initial contact at Crest that arranged the works and arranged the contract for the works with you. As soon as your application for payment is approved by this person the payment will be processed on the next standard payment run.

This is an exact normalised company-name match, not a registrar-confirmed ownership link. Another legal entity can have the same or a very similar name. UKIPO data is a historical 2018 snapshot; verify the owner and current status before relying on it.

PSC records are company-filed public-register information. When the exact same displayed individual name occurs at multiple companies, BritDB offers a non-indexed cross-reference page. It is a name match only, not proof that the records describe the same person. Service addresses and partial dates of birth are deliberately omitted.
06 Charity register
Charity Commission links
No exact company-number link in this snapshot
The Charity Commission extract did not explicitly associate this Companies House number with a charity. BritDB does not use a name-only match to fill the gap.
This company-level check covers the Charity Commission for England and Wales. Links are accepted only when the official extract supplies this exact company registration number. Scottish charities now have separate OSCR profiles, but OSCR’s bulk fields do not provide a Companies House number, so BritDB does not infer a company link.
07 Northern Ireland charity register
CCNI exact company links
No unambiguous company-number link found
The CCNI source number did not resolve uniquely to this Companies House record. BritDB did not use a name or address match.
CCNI publishes company numbers without a jurisdiction prefix. BritDB links only when the plausible padded UK and NI candidates resolve to exactly one Companies House company.
08 Sanctions screening
UK Sanctions List
No exact business-registration-number link found
The imported UK Sanctions List did not supply this Companies House number as a UK-linked business identifier. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.
No exact link is not sanctions clearance. UK restrictions can apply through ownership or control even where an entity is not separately named. Always use the current official list and obtain appropriate advice for a legally significant decision.
09 Public procurement
Find a Tender links
No exact GB-COH link in this snapshot
Find a Tender did not explicitly identify this Companies House number in a procurement party. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.
These links use only the GB-COH identifier supplied in the procurement record. A company may have other public-sector work that is absent, older, below publication thresholds or published without a Companies House identifier.
10 Environmental register
Environment Agency waste registrations
No exact company-number registration linked
The licensed Environment Agency subset did not contain this exact Companies House number. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.
This is a privacy-reduced, exact-company subset. The full official register also includes sole traders and applicants without a matching Companies House number. Check the current Environment Agency register before relying on registration status.
