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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
A TV aerial installer fits, aligns, and tests the antenna on your roof or loft. They check signal strength with a meter, run the cable to your TV, and tune the receiver. Most jobs take 1 to 3 hours depending on access and cable length. Ask if testing is included.
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.
Ask if the installer covers parts and labour for at least 12 months after the visit. A written quote should list the aerial model, bracket type, cable length, and any amplifier included. Keep the paperwork for future warranty claims or selling the property.
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.
