I needed varnish for a couple of small jobs and going to a big hardware shop and looking round is not an option. How easy is it to look on Daymans website, find what I need, place my order on line and... See more

Amazing team
Amazing team! I placed an order for my MDF sheet and requested it to be cut. I received confirmation and updates as it was processed and completed. The service was friendly and excellent, with my planks even being carried to my car. Thank you! I'll definitely return for my next purchase.

Good website, excellent service
I readily tracked down the items I wanted on the website, although they are hard-to-find in many places, and they arrived promptly after I ordered them.

Thank you for your review Neil we are so pleased you were happy with our service
Excellent company
My order was dispatched very promptly. I contacted Daymans as there was a problem with the delivery, and they responded immediately. The problem was not Daymans' fault and it was eventually rectified.

Thank you so much for your five star review we really appreciate it!
Great customer service. Recommended!
Good product (primer paint by 151 Coatings) at a competitive price with reasonable postage. Significant delay at the hands of Royal Mail (which, in fairness, was probably caused by snow) and an emailed enquiry was dealt with swiftly and very helpfully by Adam Dayman (general manager). Full marks for customer service - and it's good to deal with a family company, instead of one of the massive corporates. Would definitely buy from them again 👍
