The family behind the toolbox
Three generations, one workshop, and a stubborn belief that good work speaks for itself.
1978
the beginning
From a kitchen table to your front door
Arthur Holloway started fixing neighbours' pipes with a toolbox and a bicycle. Word spread — he never left a job until it was right, and he always cleaned the floor before he left.
His son Michael brought the electrical trade in the 90s. Now grandchildren Ellie and Sam run the building and plumbing crews. The vans are shinier, but the handshake is the same.
We've never advertised on billboards. Almost every job comes from a neighbour who told a neighbour — and that's exactly how we like it.
Values passed down the bench
Craftsmanship
We'd rather do it once, properly, than come back twice. Every joint, every wire, done with pride.
Honesty
Clear quotes, no surprises. If a repair is cheaper than a replacement, we'll tell you.
Community
We hire local, sponsor local, and look after the neighbours who've looked after us.
