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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
