Covering Pontefract & Castleford and nearby

The Five Towns are a short run along the M62 from Leeds, so we cover WF6 to WF11 for surveys and booked work.

Much of the housing here is solid brick semis and terraces built in the early to mid 1900s. The houses are sound, but many still have their first or second fuse board and wiring that’s never been checked. That’s where most of our work is.

We cover WF6 to WF11, including Pontefract, Castleford, Normanton, Featherstone, Knottingley, Glasshoughton, Allerton Bywater and Airedale.

Common jobs in the Five Towns

Older boards without RCD protection

The single biggest safety upgrade for most homes here. Send photos and we’ll give you a fixed price.

Rewires when a house changes hands

Buying an older home? A survey or EICR will tell you whether the wiring needs replacing before you move in and decorate.

EV chargers for commuters

With the M62 and A1 on the doorstep, lots of local drivers are switching to electric. Charging at home costs a fraction of public chargers.
