Pontefract
How we work here
Pontefract is about the far corner of what we cover, out past Castleford on the south east side, and we would rather say that plainly than have you expecting someone within the hour. In practice the two towns sit on the same run for us, so if you are in Pontefract it is always worth asking what is already booked nearby. Out this way the realistic choice often comes down to a chain that would rather sell you a new machine, or doing without. Free advice by message and a fixed price in writing is a better third option, and it costs you nothing to find out which way your machine falls.
We come out to Pontefract, 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
Am I right at the edge of where you go?
You are near it, and we would rather be honest about that than overpromise. We do come out to Pontefract. What we will not do is guarantee a time on a web page. Send an enquiry, and if there is already a job booked in Castleford or Wakefield that week the answer may be better than you expect.
Can you sort it without coming out at all?
Quite often. Slow machines, software faults, email problems, printer and wifi setup and most account lockouts can be done over a secure remote link while you watch, usually much sooner than a visit. Anything physical, a screen, a battery, a drive, a spill, needs the machine in front of us.
Do you cover Knottingley, Featherstone and the villages?
Yes, they are the same job to us. Give us the actual town or village when you get in touch rather than the nearest big name, so the answer we give you about timing is a real one.
You are based in Leeds. Do you actually come out to Pontefract?
Yes. Pontefract 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.
