Better safe and seen
[10th February 2010]

I continually invest in the tools, materials and training to ensure that we can do our work for you Better, Quicker and Easier. My most recent investment, an 'endoscopic' camera, that allows us to investigate hard to reach areas when surveying has already earnt its keep. When trying to pin point the source of a leak from pipework below a floor boards we were able to investigate from a small hole that the camera was fed into and the image viewed on the handheld screen minimising uneccessary damage.

Smiling Home as Fast as the speed of light - its Google official
[4th January 2010]

We are pleased to confirm that The Smiling Home really can be in 2 places at once ...and thats according to the behemoth that is Google.

As well as having expanded our services from Wharfedale to a second operation in Tynedale, a quick look at Google Earth Street View shows the Smiling Home working in Menston [Click Here] and Otley [Click Here] at the same time.

I am writing to complain to Google, I don't look as rotund as that (in fact in order to travel at the speed of light I would need no have no mass at all!).
