Specialist CIS, PAYE and IR35 payroll for UK businesses. Since 2017.
Most payroll problems are quiet ones. A missed deadline. A wrong tax code. A CIS deduction at the wrong rate. Small mistakes that add up to penalties, awkward conversations, and wasted hours. From our base in Hackney, London, we handle the full process for more than 200 UK businesses every month. HMRC submissions, statutory pay, auto-enrolment, payslips, P45s, all kept moving in the background. Ideal for construction contractors with CIS schemes, businesses running PAYE for their teams, and limited-company professionals navigating off-payroll rules.
Ideal for construction contractors with 10 to 100 CIS subcontractors, but not limited to that range. Full scheme setup, monthly verification, returns and statements. Mixed PAYE and CIS supported.
Ideal for UK companies with 5 to 50 employees, but not limited to that range. Weekly, fortnightly or monthly payroll. Pensions, statutory pay, and HMRC compliance, handled end-to-end.
Lexarox Payroll was founded as the payroll arm of the Lexarox Group, after the UK's IR35 reforms in 2017 (which moved the off-payroll working rules to the public sector) and 2021 (which extended the same rules to the private sector). Those reforms shifted the responsibility for determining a contractor's employment status from the contractor's own limited company to the client engaging them, which meant many UK businesses suddenly needed proper PAYE schemes or compliant umbrella arrangements for workers they had previously treated as self-employed. A new generation of specialist payroll providers grew out of that change. We are one of them.
What started as a service for our accountancy clients has grown into a standalone payroll bureau supporting more than 200 UK businesses every month, across construction, hospitality, cleaning, transport, care, and other sectors that depend on accurate, on-time payroll.
Payroll is one of those jobs that has to be perfect.
Most business owners did not start their company to spend their evenings checking RTI submissions or chasing P45s. And most of the time, payroll only gets noticed when something goes wrong. A late submission. A wrong tax code. An angry employee. An unwelcome letter from HMRC. We are built for the moments where any of the following are true:
You are hiring your first employee and do not know where to start.
You are a construction contractor and need a CIS scheme set up properly.
Your accountant runs payroll on the side, but you have outgrown their attention.
HMRC has sent you a letter about payroll, and you are not sure what it means.
You have had a payroll error and need someone to fix it cleanly.
You have a mix of employees and CIS subcontractors and cannot keep them straight.
You want your payroll handled by a specialist team whose only job is payroll.
You are tired of opening a ticket every time you have a payroll question.
You want a team that responds quickly, not a generic call centre.
Anything else where reliable, specialist payroll support would help.
Comprehensive payroll, structured around your business.
Whether you run a construction firm with subcontractors, a small or mid-sized business with employees, or a limited-company contracting setup, we have a service built for you. Our specialist team handles every aspect end-to-end, with whoever is best placed picking up each query so you get fast, accurate answers.
