A Family Business Built on Trust
E C Dunn Ltd was founded by Edward Dunn in 2001, but Edward's experience in the ceilings and partitions trade goes back well over 25 years. What started as one man and his tools has grown into a trusted team of skilled tradesmen delivering quality work across London and the South East.
We're a family business at heart. Edward's son now works alongside him full-time, having completed his apprenticeship under his father's guidance. That same dedication to getting things right — properly, the first time — runs through everything we do.
