After fitting the aerial, the installer retunes the TV or set top box and runs a full channel scan. Freeview and YouView guides need a working signal above the minimum threshold to store every channel. Ask for a demo of the full channel list before the job ends.
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.
Roof work carries real fall risk. A proper installer uses a secure ladder, harness, or scaffold tower and never works alone at height. They should also check for fragile tiles or asbestos cement sheets before stepping. Ask how they plan to access your roof before the job begins.
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.
Pixelation, freezing, or missing channels usually mean weak signal, damaged cable, or corroded connectors. Old coax loses quality after 10 to 15 years. An installer checks the full run, replaces cracked insulation, and reseals outdoor joints to stop water entering the cable.
Outdoor aerials mounted on the roof give stronger, more stable reception. Indoor or loft aerials work only in strong signal areas and lose quality with thick roofs. An installer can measure your local signal with a meter before deciding which type fits your home and your viewing habits.
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.
Strong winds, heavy rain, and falling branches shift aerials or crack plastic casings. After any major storm, check the alignment and the condition of the cable clips. A loose aerial can also damage tiles and allow water into the loft over time.
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.
A TV aerial installer can fix the aerial to a chimney, a wall, or a fascia board using steel brackets. Stainless or galvanised brackets resist rust for 10 years or more. Pick a mount rated for at least 1.5 times the aerial weight to handle strong gusts.
