Aerial, satellite, WiFi & CCTV engineers in Gillingham
Gillingham and Rainham aerial installers who work on tight terraces daily
Gillingham is a town of long Victorian terraces off Canterbury Street and Barnsole Road, inter-war semis climbing the hill towards Darland and Hempstead, and a big spread of 1970s and later housing through Wigmore, Parkwood and Rainham. Each needs a different approach to mast height, bracket type and cable routing.
Shared chimneys, party walls and rear access through alleys mean access planning matters as much as the aerial itself. We work scaffold-free with proper roof ladders and edge protection, and we do not drill a neighbour's stack without agreement.
Rented housing and HMOs are a big part of what we do here: extra TV points, communal distribution, tenant fault calls and landlord-friendly documentation, alongside domestic aerials, Sky, Freesat, wall mounting, WiFi and CCTV.

Gillingham TV reception
Bluebell Hill is close — Gillingham's real enemy is what is in the way
Most of ME7 and ME8 receives Bluebell Hill strongly. Faults here are rarely about distance; they come from age and interference. Fifteen-year-old aerials with UV-perished dipoles, corroded coax, unscreened splitters feeding four rooms and cheap loft-mounted boosters cause the majority of the pixelation we see.
Terrain matters on the hill. Properties dropping down towards the Medway at Gillingham riverside and the Strand can be shielded by the ridge behind them, while homes high on Darland and Hempstead often need attenuation instead of gain.
4G and 5G masts across Medway are a genuine problem in ME7. Where mobile transmissions sit next to the TV band, a filtered amplifier or an LTE filter clears interference that no amount of re-aiming will fix — we test for it before changing the aerial.
Shared chimneys and tight terraces
Correct bracket choice and access planning on party stacks off Canterbury Street and Barnsole Road.
4G and 5G interference
Filtered amplifiers and LTE filtering where mobile masts sit close to Gillingham homes.
Ageing coax and splitters
Re-cabling in double-screened WF100 fixes more ME8 faults than a new aerial ever does.

Communal distribution, extra points and quick tenant fault calls for Medway landlords and agents.

Gillingham customers
Rated 4.9 from 412 reviews across Kent
“Four rooms all breaking up. It was the old splitter and cable, not the aerial. They re-cabled it properly and it has been rock solid.”
“Aerial blew round in the storm on the Friday and they were out Saturday morning. Fixed price, no fuss, tidy job.”
“They fitted CCTV and sorted the WiFi in the loft office in one visit. Explained everything and showed me the app before leaving.”
Gillingham questions
Straight answers for Gillingham homeowners
Anything not covered here, call 01622 619811 and speak to an engineer who knows the rooftops in Gillingham — not a scripted call handler.
Can you fit an aerial to a shared chimney in Gillingham?
Yes. We use the right bracket for a party stack and take care not to disturb your neighbour's fittings. Where the stack is unsound we can fit a gable, wall or loft-mounted solution instead.
Could 5G be causing my Gillingham TV problems?
It can. Mobile transmissions near the TV band cause pixelation that re-aiming will not fix. We test for it and fit LTE filtering or filtered amplification where it shows up.
Do you cover Rainham, Twydall, Wigmore and Parkwood?
Yes, all of ME7 and ME8 including Upchurch, Hartlip and Lower Rainham, usually with same-day or next-day slots.
Do you work with landlords and letting agents?
Regularly. We handle HMO TV points, communal aerial systems, tenant fault calls and provide clear invoices and documentation for managing agents.
Is a new aerial always the answer?
No, and we will tell you when it is not. In Gillingham, ageing coax, corroded connectors and cheap splitters cause most faults, and re-cabling is often cheaper than a new aerial.
Do you cover Rainham and the Medway towns as well?
Yes. Every Medway postcode is covered on the same fixed-price basis, with the price agreed before we start work.
