What we do

Every trade, one number

From a single room to a full flat refurbishment. Because the same team covers building work, plastering, decorating and second fix, nobody is waiting on anybody else to turn up.

Featured projects

Jobs done start to finish

A few recent jobs in East London, photographed on the tools rather than staged afterwards.

Front room with new laminate flooring and blue painted walls
Front room refurbishment

Period front room, back to bare and rebuilt

Walls made good and repainted top to bottom, cornice and skirting cut in by hand, then new wood effect flooring laid and beaded. The fireplace and radiator cover were worked around rather than ripped out.

  • Laminate flooring
Kitchen wall stripped back to plaster during a refit
Kitchen refit

Old kitchen stripped out and reworked

Units taken off, tiles removed and the walls bonded and skimmed flat before the new run went in. Old and new plaster meet without a line showing once it is painted.

  • Strip out
  • Bonding and skim
  • Waste removed
Finished bedroom with fresh walls and new carpet
Bedroom renovation

Bedroom bonded, plastered and painted

Cracks cut out and filled, walls skimmed, sanded and painted, then the room put back together and cleaned down so it could be slept in the same week.

  • Crack repairs
  • Skim and sand
  • Decoration
Concrete cutting and floor preparation on a London site
Commercial fit out

Site works on a central London fit out

John has spent years on main contractor sites in London, so commercial standards, method statements and site inductions are nothing new. Handy when a landlord or managing agent needs paperwork as well as a finish.

  • Drainage runs
  • Site standards
About

The whole job, one team

A&C Property Maintenance is run by John Zaman, a multi-trade builder based in Bow. Over twenty years on London jobs, from private flats and houses to main contractor fit outs for the likes of Mace and Overbury, means the standards from a commercial site come with him to a domestic one.

Instead of juggling separate trades, you deal with one team that measures up, quotes the whole job and sees it through to a clean finish. John speaks six languages, so nothing gets lost between what you asked for and what gets built.

Highly recommend

"He did a great job of renovating our old kitchen into an en suite room as walk in wardrobe and storage room. Ripped out all old units, replastered and redecorated the room and cleaned up after he finished the job. Completed the job quickly to a good standard, reasonable cost."

Top notch trader

"A really useful trustworthy multi-trader. Smart, reliable and tidy, he's worked construction more than 20 years. Fixed my blinds, touched up paintwork, tiling and a headboard. He installed shower beading and made good wall cracks in the bedroom and bathroom whilst also renewing a bunch of grouting."

Fantastic job on our kitchen ceiling

"John has done a fantastic job fixing our kitchen ceiling which had suffered from a few leaks from the flat upstairs. Really pleased with the work done and the care taken with cleaning. He even went the extra mile and fitted in some additional work on our bathroom ceiling which was very much appreciated."

Professional job, reasonably priced

"John is a very pleasant and polite young man I employed to erect my curtain rail up, it was very well priced, the job was well done, no mess. I might add it was a tricky job as the walls are not the best to work with. I will definitely call John again."
