A Family Business with a Rich History

For nearly 100 years, Daymans DIY has been at the heart of Leicester’s community, and today, it’s proudly run by Steve Dayman, a third-generation owner dedicated to keeping the family legacy alive.

Steve grew up surrounded by the sounds of the shop—hammers tapping, saws buzzing, and customers chatting. Taking over the business in 2008, he has worked tirelessly to maintain the trusted reputation built by his father and grandfather.

His passion for quality service, expert advice, and supporting the local community is what makes Daymans DIY more than just a store—it’s a place where customers become friends, and projects turn into reality.

Whether it’s helping you find the right materials, offering honest advice, or simply having a chat about your latest DIY project, Steve is always on hand to help.
