Castleford
How we work here
Castleford is an easy run east out of Leeds, along the same stretch we already cover for Garforth and Rothwell, so it is one of the more straightforward towns on this side of the district for us to reach. In a lot of towns this size the realistic choice has narrowed to a chain that would rather sell you a new one, or a mate who knows a bit about computers. Neither is going to give you a straight, honest answer and a fixed price in writing before anything happens. That is the gap we are filling.
We come out to Castleford, at home or at work, day or night, Sunday to Friday. It is a longer run than a job in the city, so send an enquiry first and we will tell you straight when we can get to you rather than book a slot we cannot keep. If a visit does not suit, we can arrange to collect the machine and bring it back once it is done, and a fair few faults get sorted over a secure remote link with nobody coming out at all. Advice by message is free whichever way we do it.

How it works
Free advice by message, a call-out quoted first, then a fixed price
- Tell us the fault, free. Send an enquiry and describe what is wrong. We will tell you what it sounds like, whether it is worth doing, and whether we can sort it over a remote link without anybody travelling. That conversation costs nothing.
- A minimum call-out, quoted first. If it needs a visit, we agree the call-out before we travel, so you know it before you commit to anything. It comes off the price if you go ahead with the repair.
- A fixed quote. Once we have seen the machine you get a clear, fixed price before any work starts. No surprises, no hourly meter running.
- We fix it, or there is no repair fee. Happy with the quote? We do the work. If we cannot fix the fault we quoted for, you do not pay for the repair.
Questions
The things people ask
There is no computer shop left round here. Is that why you come out?
Pretty much. A mobile service works because most towns this size lost their independent repair shop years ago, and driving into a city to queue at a counter is not much of a replacement. We come to the machine, look at it in front of you, and you get a straight answer without going anywhere.
Do you cover Normanton, Featherstone and Knottingley as well?
Yes, and Pontefract has its own page. The Five Towns are all the same job to us. Tell us the actual town when you get in touch rather than the nearest big name, so the answer we give you about timing is accurate.
My computer is old. Is it worth spending anything on?
Sometimes yes, sometimes no, and you will get the honest version either way. An old machine with a mechanical hard drive is often transformed by an SSD for far less than a replacement costs. An old machine with a failed board usually is not worth it, and we will say so plainly rather than quote you for a repair we do not believe in.
You are based in Leeds. Do you actually come out to Castleford?
Yes. Castleford is inside the area we cover, and being mobile is rather the point: there is no shop for you to drive to. It is a longer run than a job in Leeds, so send an enquiry, tell us the fault, and we will be straight with you about when we can be there. If a visit is not the quickest way to help, we will say so and offer to collect the machine or look at it remotely instead.
Does it cost more because I am not in Leeds?
No. Advice by message is free wherever you are, and the fixed quote covers the job, not the mileage. If a job did not stack up at the distance we would tell you before you spent anything, rather than quietly load it onto the price.
How much will the repair cost?
It depends on the fault and on your exact model, so we will not quote a number before we have looked. Advice by message is free, then you get one fixed quote before any work starts, and if we cannot fix it you pay nothing for the repair.
Can you help without coming out to the Wakefield district at all?
Often, yes. Software faults, slow machines, email trouble, printer and wifi setup and a lot of account lockouts can be sorted over a secure remote link while you watch. Anything physical, a screen, a battery, a drive, a liquid spill, needs the machine in front of us, either on a visit or by collecting it.
What kinds of repair do you do?
Laptop and PC repair, Mac repair, screen replacements, SSD and RAM upgrades and speed-ups, virus and malware removal, data recovery, and one-off repairs and setup for small businesses. Ongoing IT support for a business is our sister company, Dacros.
