Easberg Ltd trading as Ian DuBois Painting & Decorating.
We decorate the buildings London relies on: homes, schools, fire stations and healthcare. People are still inside, so the work has to be safe, tidy and right first time.

From cyclical redecoration across a housing estate to certified fire-retardant systems in a live fire station, every package is planned, documented and finished to the same standard.
