Where it all began

Ashco Building & Maintenance Services Ltd (Ashco) was established in 2013, following several years of experience in the building sector by founder Ashley, who initially operated as a sole trader. From the outset, the company’s goal has been to deliver high-quality, value-for-money building and maintenance services.

Over the years, Ashco has expanded and strengthened its core management team. The addition of dedicated quantity surveying and support service professionals has complemented our experienced operational specialists—positioning the company for continued growth and innovation.

We have developed a highly capable in-house team of multi-skilled tradespeople, supported by a trusted network of specialist contractors. This structure allows us to provide comprehensive solutions for a wide range of building and maintenance needs.

Ashco takes pride in managing entire projects on behalf of our clients—coordinating and overseeing all aspects of a contract, regardless of its technical complexity. With extensive experience across commercial and residential sectors, we specialise in property maintenance, refurbishments, and refits of all sizes.

As a company we have excellent working relationships with a range of local/regional business’s, including:

* Cambridge Home Improvement Agency * Granta Medical Group

* NHS Blood & Transplant * Workman Group

* Care and Repair Services * Bidwells

* Mitie Projects * Levidian Nano system

* Sanctuary Housing * Godolphin

Our clients can be assured that Ashco is built on a foundation of trust, reliability, and high standards of workmanship. We work closely with our clients to achieve their goals, remaining flexible and responsive to any changes that may arise during a project.

For added peace of mind, we carry full public, product, and employer liability insurance. We are also proud members of respected industry bodies, including the Safe Contractor Scheme, CHAS, the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB), and Avetta—demonstrating our ongoing commitment to safety, compliance, and professionalism.

Ashco worked so hard on our kitchen, clubhouse and changing rooms. Everyone that visits the club comments on how great it all looks. They showed great professionalism and worked to tight deadlines!

Ely City FC

Now that all the work on our lower terrace has been completed, I wanted to write to let you know how thrilled we are with everything. The retaining walls look wonderful and, when viewed from the river, set the house off beautifully.
Please give our thanks to Ian, Stuart, Tom, Finn, Ben and Dave - I do hope I haven’t forgotten anyone - for all their hard work during the hottest and driest weather we have had for a long time. Without exception they were a pleasure to have working here, and are a credit to Ashco

I'd like to say that I'm more than satisfied with the quality of the work you did for me recently, I wouldn't go anywhere else. Martin does a great job, he has a very friendly and pleasant manner and leaves everything very tidy and clean.
