We thought that the first post should have a bit of background to our business which has been trading for nearly 100 years.. so here we go: Pages DIY Ltd. is a well known Port Talbot family business currently run by Jeffrey Page and today located at Talbot Road, Port Talbot. The business was established in 1918 by Jeffrey's grandfather just after the Great War in a small building at the rear of the family home in Grove Place trading as a carpentry and joinery business under the name of G. H. Page and Son. It was here that the groundwork was done to establish a successful family business. Jeffrey's father George, joined the business as a craftsman supplying many of the old established businesses in Port Talbot as well as the private sector with purpose made joinery.

In 1960 George and his wife Dyllis opened a D.I.Y. shop known as Pages' Home Supplies. It was as Pages' Home Supplies that the business diverted away from carpentry and joinery and became a fore runner in D.I.Y.

Jeffrey joined the business in 1972 after successfully completing his carpentry and joinery apprenticeship and worked alongside his parents until the untimely death of his father in 1980.

The business continued to expand and in 1986 Pages' Home Supplies became Page's D.I.Y. The continuing growth of the business meant that in 1990 it moved from Grove Place where it all began to much larger premises at Talbot Road enabling us to continue to supply all the needs of builder and handyman alike.

The old tradition of counter service is still retained today as we feel that direct contact with the public is a bonus to our business. We supply industry, tradesmen as well as the DIY enthusiast.

You'll be surprised on visiting our high street store by the comprehensive range of products and well known brands which we stock. The Talbot Road store stocks a large range of tools, locks, ironmongery, DIY supplies, timber, timber sheet materials and has an instore key cutting service.
