Richard and Julie Watkins relocated to the Comox Valley, BC from England in May 2007, looking for a better quality of life for themselves and their two teenage boys. Already familiar with the Lower Mainland (Julie, a Canadian Citizen, lived and worked there for many years) they were extremely fortunate to find the beautiful Comox Valley purely by web searches, newspaper subscriptions and telephone enquiries!
Based in West Sussex, England, Richard ran his own highly successful Building Surveying practice (employing five people) for over 16 years. The business covered all aspects of property building, renovation and maintenance. Julie was self-employed as a magazine editor, combining her writing and marketing skills with a love of textiles and interiors.
Richard and Julie are keen to contribute to the Comox Valley and with the launch of their home service business hope to supply a service that will be of benefit not only to the residents but also for the business community.
Rest assured that you, the client, will be kept informed of any home safety, maintenance or security concerns via regular Home Check reports sent by email or phone; similarly you will be able to contact Richard and Julie in the event of any emergency that should arise. They aim to provide a personal and caring service for all their clients. They are fully insured, police checked and guarantee complete confidentiality.
Effective September 2009, Valley Home Check Ltd is fully certified and registered in compliance with the Security Services Act and Regulations.
Taking care when you’re not there!
