About Us

Built by scaffolders, for the trade — and everyone tackling a project.

Since 2017, Mays Direct has been the UK’s go-to online destination for construction materials, ladders, towers, temporary fencing and building supplies. Whether you’re a seasoned tradesperson working on-site every day or a DIY enthusiast tackling your first big project, we’re here to make sure you’ve got the right kit, at the right price, delivered when you need it.

Our Story

Mays Direct was born out of the demanding, hands-on world of scaffolding. Our director, Andy May, learned the trade from the ground up as a scaffolder himself, and that practical, real-world experience is still at the heart of everything we do. We know what it’s like to be on-site needing materials fast, and we built this business to solve that problem properly.

Today, Mays Direct is proud to be part of the wider Mays Direct Group, working alongside our scaffolding and building supplies operations to provide customers with a dedicated online partner for construction, towers, fencing, and safety equipment.
