Great price on the item I bought from them. Dan also carried the item to my car, which was above and beyond. Thanks very much. It's good to see businesses like this still exist. Keep up the good work!

I've always found exactly what I need when I shop at Daymans DIY. Whether that be from a tiny small washer to a wall bracket, they always come up trumps. I recently tried their online service and this too proved to be a great service and the three items I ordered were ready for collection in less than an hour. Great service from Steve and his team
