Real Yorkshire Homeowner Reviews
Every installation and repair is signed off with digital meter signal certification. Here is what local customers say about Gary Pearce's workmanship:
“Excellent aerial installation completed today by Gary. They managed to hide all the cables from my new aerial so you can't see them at all. Fast, polite, and great picture quality!”
“After 80mph gales knocked our chimney aerial out of alignment, Gary came out promptly. Fitted a heavy-duty storm lashing bracket and retuned all four TV points. Spot on job.”
“Honest trade advice. Another company quoted £250 for a full new aerial. Gary tested the signal with his meter, replaced a water-damaged coax splitter for £69, and Freeview HD works perfectly.”
Everything You Need to Know About TV Aerials
Wondering how much does aerial installation cost, or how much does tv aerial fitting cost? We give you clear fixed quotes before work begins.
Need quick advice on your TV signal? Call our engineer free on
How much does it cost to install a tv aerial?
Direct Answer: A standard digital TV aerial installation starts from £129 + VAT (medium gain from £139, high gain from £169, and bad reception areas from £199 + VAT). Every installation includes benchmarked digital hardware, galvanized steel mounting brackets, and pure copper coax cable. Professional service calls and repairs start from £69 + VAT.
Trade Tip: Extra TV aerial extension points start from £69 + VAT (or £89 + VAT including a 2-way shielded splitter). Freesat dish installations start from £129 + VAT.
How much does it cost to repair a tv aerial?
Direct Answer: Our TV aerial service calls and fault diagnostic visits start from £69 + VAT. This fixed fee covers comprehensive signal testing with digital spectrum analyzers, realigning the mast, replacing damaged coax connections, or securing loose chimney brackets.
Trade Tip: If your aerial is over 15 years old and corroded, our engineer will credit the service call toward a new high-gain aerial upgrade.
Is there a call-out charge?
Direct Answer: No. We never charge a call-out fee. Our engineer visits your property, tests your Freeview signal, checks your roof or loft access, and gives you a fixed written quote before starting work.
Trade Tip: If you choose not to proceed with the quote, you pay nothing. No hidden diagnostic fees or travel charges apply.
How long does a tv aerial installation take?
Direct Answer: Yes. We keep local vans fully stocked across the North of England & Midlands for same-day installation and emergency storm repairs. We provide prompt same-day service with fixed quotes.
Trade Tip: You can also book an advance morning or afternoon appointment online to suit your schedule.
Can an aerial be fitted in the loft instead of the roof?
Direct Answer: Yes. A loft TV aerial installation works well if you live in a moderate to strong signal area with standard slate or clay tiles. It stays protected from storms and weather damage.
Trade Tip: If your roof has modern foil-backed insulation or concrete tiles, signal loss through the roof can be 50% or more. In those homes, an outdoor roof aerial is required.
What is the difference between a loft aerial and a roof aerial?
Direct Answer: A roof aerial receives unobstructed line-of-sight signals from the transmitter, delivering maximum signal strength. A loft aerial is sheltered inside the attic, but roof materials weaken incoming signals.
Trade Tip: In fringe valleys or weak reception zones, an outdoor roof aerial is always the reliable choice for steady Freeview HD pictures.
Why is my tv picture breaking up all the time?
Direct Answer: Pictures freeze when your signal drops too low. Wind can shift your aerial. Rain can leak into old cables. Nearby phone masts can also cause interference.
Trade Tip: First check that your TV lead is pushed tight into the wall socket. If it still freezes, we can realign your aerial or fit a 4G/5G filter.
How do I fix no signal on my freeview box?
Direct Answer: A 'no signal' screen means your TV is getting no signal from the roof. This often means a broken cable, a tripped power unit, or storm damage to your mast.
Trade Tip: Try testing another TV on the same socket. If every room has lost its picture, the fault is on the roof or in your booster box.
Why do some channels work and others do not?
Direct Answer: Freeview channels travel in groups. If your aerial moves slightly or is very old, you may get some channels while others break up.
Trade Tip: A modern wideband aerial pulls in all channel groups evenly. It brings back your missing BBC, ITV, Channel 4, and HD channels.
Why does my TV aerial keep losing signal in wind or bad weather?
Direct Answer: If your tv aerial keeps losing signal on windy days, the bracket or clamp is loose. Even a slight twist drops your digital signal below the required level.
Trade Tip: We fit heavy-duty steel brackets and stainless steel chimney wire cradles. They stay firm in 90mph gale winds.
Do I need a new aerial or just a repair?
Direct Answer: You only need an aerial repair if your aerial hardware is physically intact and the fault is minor, such as a loose bracket, water in the cable, or alignment drift (£69).
Trade Tip: If the aerial elements are snapped, the plastic connection box is cracked, or your aerial was fitted for analog TV, a digital aerial upgrade (£149) is needed.
How do I know if my aerial needs replacing?
Direct Answer: Signs your aerial needs replacing include bent metal rods, rust marks on your wall, cracked cables, or missing HD channels.
Trade Tip: We test your setup with a digital meter. We show you whether a simple cable fix or a new aerial is the best step.
What is the difference between Freeview and Freesat?
Direct Answer: Freeview uses a TV aerial and gives you over 70 free channels. Freesat uses a dish and gives you over 170 free channels.
Trade Tip: Both services are free each month. If you live in a deep valley where hills block TV masts, a satellite dish is a great alternative.
Will I still need an aerial with a smart TV?
Direct Answer: Yes, if you want to watch live TV without internet lag. Catch-up apps use broadband, but live Freeview channels need an aerial.
Trade Tip: An aerial also lets you watch live news and sports when your home internet goes down.
Can you add an extra TV point or aerial socket in another room?
Direct Answer: Yes. We fit extra TV points and sockets in bedrooms, kitchens, and garden rooms. Extra points cost £89 each during the same visit.
Trade Tip: We run cables through lofts, under floorboards, or neatly outside. We leave your rooms clean and tidy.
Can one aerial feed multiple TVs without losing picture quality?
Direct Answer: Yes. When running several TVs, we fit a splitter or a distribution unit. This keeps the signal strong at every TV socket.
Trade Tip: Basic splitters can drop power if you feed more than two rooms. A powered booster fixes this by sending clean signal to every room.
What is the best tv aerial for freeview in weak signal areas?
Direct Answer: A signal booster lifts incoming signal to overcome cable loss. You need one in weak signal spots or when feeding many screens.
Trade Tip: A booster cannot fix a broken aerial. If the signal has noise or faults, a booster just amplifies the problem. Fixing the aerial comes first.
Can you install an aerial on a chimney without drilling brickwork?
Direct Answer: Yes. We use stainless steel chimney wire cradles. Steel wire wraps around the stack to hold the mast tight without drilling brickwork.
Trade Tip: This no-drill method stops water leaks and mortar damage. It is safe for older homes and listed buildings.
What guarantee comes with a new aerial installation?
Direct Answer: Every new digital aerial comes with a 1 to 3 year written warranty. It covers all parts and labour with high-performance gear.
Trade Tip: If your aerial shifts or loses picture during your warranty, we return and fix it free of charge.
Are your engineers DBS-checked and insured for roof work?
Direct Answer: Yes. Gary Pearce is fully DBS-checked with £5M liability cover for high-level roof work.
Trade Tip: We bring safety gear, ladders, and roof kits to every visit. We work safely and take pride in our trade.
