Kent-wide service

Kent has four competing transmitters — the right one is not always the nearest

Most of mid-Kent is served by Bluebell Hill, but east Kent leans on Dover, the Weald often does better from Heathfield, and the western edge around Sevenoaks and Dartford is usually strongest from Crystal Palace. Choosing wrong is the single most common cause of pixelation that comes back every winter.

We meter the signal at your actual roofline — not from a postcode lookup — and specify the aerial group, gain and mast height to suit it. Where trees, new-build cladding or neighbouring extensions block the path, we say so and offer a Freesat alternative rather than selling you a bigger aerial that still won't work.

Every install uses double-screened satellite-grade coax, stainless or galvanised fixings, and weatherproofed terminations at the mast head. That matters everywhere in Kent, but especially on the Sheppey, Thanet and Folkestone coast where salt air destroys cheap fittings within a couple of seasons.

What's included

Done properly, first visit

Wideband & grouped aerials

Grouped, high-gain or log-periodic chosen by the meter reading, not by whatever is on the van.

Chimney, wall & loft mounts

Lashing kits, T&K brackets or loft mounts where the signal allows and planning constraints demand.

Masthead amplification

Amplify at the mast where it helps, attenuate where you have too much signal — common right under Dover.

Multi-room distribution

Feed two to twelve rooms from one aerial with a properly powered distribution amplifier.

Fault finding & repairs

Storm damage, corroded connectors, water in the cable, failed amplifiers — diagnosed and fixed in one visit.

Aerial removal

Old, redundant or unsafe aerials taken down and disposed of, with brickwork made good.

Questions

Straight answers

Anything not covered here, call 01622 619811 and speak to an engineer — not a scripted call handler.

How much does a new TV aerial cost in Kent?

Most straightforward chimney-mounted installs fall in a predictable range and the exact figure is confirmed before any work starts, after the engineer has metered the signal.

Which transmitter will my aerial point at?

Bluebell Hill covers Maidstone and the Medway towns, Dover serves Thanet, Canterbury and the east coast, Heathfield reaches much of the Weald and Crystal Palace dominates around Sevenoaks and Dartford. We confirm on the meter.

My picture breaks up in wet or windy weather — is the aerial faulty?

Usually it is a marginal signal, water in an ageing cable, or a corroded connector rather than the aerial itself. We test the whole chain and only replace what needs replacing.

Can you fit an aerial in the loft?

Yes, where the metered signal supports it and the roof is not foil-lined. Foil-backed insulation in Kent new builds blocks the signal almost completely — we will tell you before fitting.
