What are reasonable payment terms for decoration/renovation work done on a home?

We’re about to have about €10k of fitted units installed (cupboards, wardrobes, etc.) in our home.

We haven’t discussed terms yet. I’m just wondering if there are fairly standard terms I should expect? E.g. a percentage upfront and the rest on completion.

Thanks.

I was surprised that I wasn't asked for any deposit/up front payment before getting my windows and doors made to measure/manufactured to order and then, a few months later when they were ready, fitted recently. €8K job.
 
30% upfront and balance on completion

But I suppose it depends on the tradesman's cash position - after all, he has to purchase the wood, etc before starting the job
