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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
