I was incredibly impressed by Dainton. Amazing customer service from Alex in the office and an incredibly smooth delivery of our gigantic 40ft container from Thom. Watching him take such great care to safely manoeuvre the blue beast onto our site was like watching ballet. It was a tricky site to access and involved craning the container over a gate and then slowly backing it into a tight space on soft ground and onto sleepers to keep it raised off the ground. Thom took time to make sure the container was in the perfect place and level. I would highly recommend purchasing a container from Dainton.

This is the second container our charity has bought from Dainton. The last one has lasted us really well, so with the best price around we recently purchased a new one. Staff at the office were helpful and the service was brilliant. Delivery time was quick and they took our old container away.

Very happy with a quick and reliable service from Dainton. Alex, who I dealt with throughout, was exceptionally helpful and actually got us our container well ahead of schedule. Competitively priced and very helpful over the phone, I can highly recommend Dainton based on our experience.
