Sheasby & Son is a family business which has been going for over forty years. The company was originally set up by my father in Lancashire during the early 1970s. I joined in 1989 — hence the Son†— and took over the business following my father’s retirement in 1998, relocating to Derby. In 2006, I was accredited as a Dulux Select Decorator, giving me access to the best paints and providing my customers with the Dulux two-year guarantee. I am a fully qualified painter and decorator with City & Guilds and City & Guilds advanced certificates. But the best education has come from over twenty years’ of working in people’s homes and businesses. I specialise in a range of painting and decorating techniques, including exteriors, interiors, stencilling, graining, marbling, spray painting and wallpapering. I have also invested in a dust free sanding system, which is proving one of my most popular services with exceptional results and no mess.
