Yagi aerials are common for strong-signal areas and pick up one band well. Log periodic models handle a wider frequency range, useful for full Freeview. Grid aerials resist moisture and wind, fitting coastal or exposed homes. Ask the installer which type matches your nearest transmitter.
Use double-screened coax like CT100 or WF100 for new installs. Cheap cable loses signal fast over long runs. Fitted wall plates with proper F-connectors prevent the loose push-on plugs that cause picture break-up. Ask if the quoted price includes quality cable and a new wall plate.
A simple swap of an existing aerial takes about 1 hour. A new install with cabling, brackets, and tuning runs 2 to 3 hours. Adding multiple rooms or chasing cables inside walls takes longer. Ask the installer to confirm the expected time before booking the visit.
Ask if signal testing is included, which aerial brand they supply, and what warranty covers the parts and labour. Confirm who removes the old aerial and if the price includes any extra brackets. A clear answer to each question shows a prepared installer and avoids surprise charges on the day.
Once fitted, the installer retunes your TV or set-top box and checks every channel for stable picture and sound. Ask for a written signal reading for the main transmitter. Keep the invoice with aerial model and warranty terms in case you need service or adjustment within 12 months.
The installer points the aerial at the nearest transmitter using a compass and a signal meter. A higher mast, often 3 to 6 metres, clears trees and rooftops that block the line of sight. Small height gains of 1 metre can lift weak signals above the usable threshold.
Pixelation, frozen pictures, and audio dropouts point to a weak or unstable signal. Common causes include corroded connections, damaged cable, or a misaligned aerial after wind. The installer checks signal quality, not only strength, because high noise levels also break reception.
Running the aerial feed to several rooms takes extra cable, wall plates, and splitters. Each split weakens the signal, so larger homes often need a 4 way or 8 way masthead amplifier. Plan the room count before drilling to avoid extra visits later.
Some installers also fit satellite dishes for Freesat or Sky Q alongside the main TV aerial. Satellite dishes need a clear southern view in the UK and precise alignment with a 1 degree tolerance. Combining both services in one visit usually lowers the total labour cost.
Cables run through walls, loft spaces, or external trunking, depending on the building. Drill neat 6 to 10 mm holes, seal them with silicone, and fit proper grommets to block damp. Avoid running aerial cable next to mains wiring, which can inject noise into the signal.
