About TV Aerial Installer
Common Signal Problems at Home
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.
Cables, Connectors, and Wall Plates
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.
Amplifiers and Splitters
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.
How Long the Installation Takes
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.
What Changes the Price
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.
Questions to Ask Before Hiring
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.
Safety and Roof Access
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.
After the Install: Tuning and Support
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.
Wall Mounting and Bracket Choice
A TV aerial installer can fix the aerial to a chimney, a wall, or a fascia board using steel brackets. Stainless or galvanised brackets resist rust for 10 years or more. Pick a mount rated for at least 1.5 times the aerial weight to handle strong gusts.
Aerial Height and Direction
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.
