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.
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.
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.
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.
Signal quality drops with distance from the transmitter and with obstacles like trees or tall buildings. Installers test signal level in dBµV and aim for at least 45 dBµV for reliable Freeview. If signal is weak, they may suggest a higher-gain aerial or a masthead amplifier.
A masthead amplifier near the aerial boosts weak signals before cable loss. Distribution amplifiers split the feed to several rooms. A badly chosen amplifier overloads strong signals and makes things worse. An installer measures signal first, then adds amplification only if needed.
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.
Some homes use a loft aerial fitted inside the roof space when outdoor fittings are not allowed. Signal drops by roughly 30 to 50 percent compared with a rooftop aerial in the same spot. Use a log periodic or high gain aerial in lofts with heavy tile or slate roofing.
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.
Older wideband aerials from the analogue era often underperform on digital signals. Replacing them with a modern group K aerial matched to your transmitter improves picture quality on weak channels. The bracket, cable, and fixings usually age faster than the aerial itself.
