Reliable TV Reception for Your Home
I provide professional TV aerial installation and repair services across Ormskirk and the surrounding areas. Whether you need a complete new aerial installation, an additional TV point, help with poor or breaking-up reception, or an old aerial removed, I can help.
Every property is different, so I use professional signal-testing equipment to check both signal strength and quality and make sure the right equipment is used for your location.
Professional TV Aerial Installation
Whether you need a completely new TV aerial system or your existing installation needs replacing, I can recommend and install the right aerial for your property and location.
I offer three levels of installation — Budget, Standard and Premium — depending on the signal available and the type of installation required. Signal strength and quality are checked using professional test equipment, so the aerial is selected to suit your property rather than simply fitting the same aerial everywhere.
types of installation
Budget Installation
Suitable for properties in good reception areas. A 12-element TV aerial is fitted to a heavy-duty alloy mast up to 4ft in length, securely mounted using a galvanised chimney or wall bracket, with new coaxial cable run to your chosen TV location.
Standard Installation
Suitable for most properties in good to moderate reception areas. Depending on the signal available, I will fit either a log-periodic or Yagi aerial to a heavy-duty alloy mast up to 6ft in length, securely mounted using an 8" cradle chimney bracket or 9" × 9" wall bracket, with new coaxial cable run to your chosen TV location.
Premium Installation
Suitable for properties in weaker reception areas where a higher-gain aerial may be required. I will fit a high-gain TV aerial to a heavy-duty alloy mast up to 6ft in length, securely mounted using an 8" cradle chimney bracket or 9" × 9" wall bracket, with new coaxial cable run to your chosen TV location.
Loft Aerial Installations
Loft aerial installations are a popular option in many new-build properties, particularly where an external aerial is not desirable or where provision has already been made for the TV cabling within the loft.
Where signal conditions allow, I can install a suitable TV aerial in the loft space and connect it to the property's existing TV cabling or distribution system. I’ll check the available signal first to make sure a loft installation will provide reliable reception.
TV Aerial Repairs & Additional Services
Additional TV Points
Want to watch Freeview in another room? Additional TV points can be installed in bedrooms, kitchens, conservatories and other rooms around your home.
I will first test the strength and quality of your existing TV signal. Wherever possible, I use your existing aerial system rather than fitting another aerial unnecessarily. Depending on the signal available, additional points can be supplied using a suitable splitter or masthead amplifier.
Aerial Repairs
If your TV picture is breaking up, freezing or showing “no signal”, it doesn’t necessarily mean you need a completely new installation. I can test your existing aerial system to identify the cause of the problem and recommend the most suitable repair.
Often the solution is simply to replace a damaged or unsuitable aerial and/or coaxial cable while retaining any existing equipment that is still in good condition. For example, in the installation pictured, the chimney lashing is still serviceable, so the mast, aerial and cable could be replaced without the need to replace the complete installation. Signal strength and quality are chec
OLD & UNSAFE AERIAL REMOVAL
I can safely remove unwanted aerials, masts, brackets and redundant cabling, or replace only the parts that are no longer serviceable. Where existing brackets and fixings remain sound, these can often be retained, keeping unnecessary replacement work to a minimum. If an aerial has become loose or has fallen following high winds, I can assess the installation and advise whether repair, replacement or complete removal is the most suitable option.
BIRD SPIKES FOR TV AERIALS
Birds perching on TV aerials can cause unwanted mess on roofs, patios, conservatories and vehicles below. Plastic bird spikes can be fitted to aerials to discourage birds from landing without affecting TV reception.
They can be fitted as part of a new aerial installation or added to many existing aerials. I use purpose-made plastic bird spikes, securely fitted to the aerial where required.
Not Sure What You Need?
If you're unsure whether you need a new aerial, a repair or an adjustment to your existing system, I can test the signal, identify the problem and advise on the most suitable solution.
Based in Ormskirk, I provide TV aerial installation and repair services across West Lancashire, Sefton, Knowsley and surrounding areas.
