Am I right in thinking that a DCF valuation is used to come to the enterprise value of a business?
But why would you need to do a DCF if a company is public ... isn't it easier to work out enterprise value?

You are looking at it the wrong way. How does the public determine how much the equity, and therefore the EV is worth? One way they do that is a DCF. You're correct in that with perfectly efficient markets, with perfect DCF inputs, they would give you the same answer but as you can imagine neither one of those are true.
