Founded in 2002 by Ashur Barkho, A&S was built on deep knowledge of welding, plumbing, and electrical trades. What started as occasional repairs quickly grew into a full-service workshop, operated by Ashur and his wife, Shemiran. Their vision was simple: provide honest, reliable service with the kind of personal attention the “big players” couldn’t offer.

Over the past 20 years, A&S has:

• Serviced tens of thousands of machines
• Supplied millions of welding and electrical products
• Provided reliable hire solutions to hundreds of businesses and trades

Adapting to Today

In 2022, we recognised that customers wanted more than speed and convenience — they wanted the trust, expertise, and tailored advice only a specialised family business can provide. That realisation sparked a major transformation of our Smithfield workshop. We reorganised, digitised, and launched A&S Online to bring our reputation for reliable products and service to a wider audience.

What Makes Us Different

A&S Online isn’t just an e-commerce store — it’s the extension of a family business with two decades of proven results. We combine the reach of a modern marketplace with the care and accountability of a local workshop.
