Pontefract is well-connected to other parts of the region, with easy access to the M62 motorway and regular train services to Leeds, Wakefield, and Doncaster.

As an independent damp surveyor, in Pontefract, I do not work with or for companies who sell damp remediation products or services. My independent survey of your property is only intended to offer you impartial advice and recommendations. I will also provide you with an estimate of the costs you can expect to incur should a contractor or builder be hired to make repairs.

For example, I might advise a Pontefract homeowner to investigate and repair any damaged roofing or guttering, which may be causing dampness and mould growth in their property. Furthermore, I might recommend a homeowner or landlord replace any windows or doors that are no longer functioning correctly, as this will reduce the possibility of condensation at the property.
