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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Price depends on aerial type, mast height, cable length, and wall fixings. A standard fit on a single-storey home costs less than a chimney mount on a three-storey house. Extra TV points, amplifiers, and cable routing through lofts add labour time. Get a written breakdown before work starts.
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.
