About us
A Reading-based aerial firm, not a national call centre.
Ring us and you'll speak to the person who actually turns up at your door — not a booking line somewhere else entirely. We only cover the towns we know, so every van on the road knows the local streets and roofs already.
Reading's Freeview signal comes in from several directions — Hannington, Oxford, Crystal Palace and Guildford all reach different parts of the Thames Valley. Point every aerial the same way and you'll get it wrong on plenty of roofs. We check strength and quality at the aerial and again at the socket before we recommend anything.
From Victorian terraces in Caversham and central Reading to new-build estates in Woodley and Earley with foil-lined roofs, and up towards the Chiltern ridge near Henley-on-Thames, we fit kit built to cope with the local conditions. Fully insured, working-at-height trained, and every job backed by a 12-month guarantee.

What we do
Aerials, satellite, WiFi, CCTV — one Reading firm for all of it.
Nine services, each handled by engineers who fit this kit every week. No subcontractors, no call centre in between — just a fixed price on the phone and a tidy job on the roof.
Digital TV Aerials
High-gain aerials, masthead amplifiers and cabling — checked against the right Reading-area transmitter and fitted to last.
Find out more →Satellite & Sky
Sky, Freesat and multi-room satellite dishes aligned and cabled properly, plus realignment after wind has knocked a dish out.
Find out more →Whole-Home WiFi
Hardwired access points, mesh and Cat6 — sorting out dead spots in foil-insulated new builds around Woodley and Bracknell.
Find out more →CCTV Installation
4K cameras, night vision and secure phone viewing for homes and businesses, with footage clear enough to actually use.
Find out more →TV Wall Mounting
Neat, flush TV mounting with cables hidden in the wall — fixed, tilt and full-motion brackets fitted.
Find out more →Audio Visual & Cinema
Projectors, surround sound and multi-room audio — cabled cleanly and set up properly for the room.
Find out more →Freeview & Freesat
Freeview aerials tuned to the correct multiplex, Freesat dishes where trees or a neighbouring roof block the aerial path.

Clear pricing upfront
We agree a fixed price with you on the phone before anyone sets off, so you know the cost before we arrive.
12-month guarantee
Every install is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If our fitting causes a fault, we come back and sort it free.
We pick up the phone
You get a real engineer on the line, evenings and weekends included, seven days a week.
Local knowledge
The faults we see across Reading — and how we sort them.
Reception across Reading and the wider Thames Valley comes from four different transmitters, and crosses riverside terraces, wooded valleys and foil-lined new builds along the way. Fitting the same aerial everywhere doesn't work here. Here's what we check for, area by area.
We carry a proper signal analyser to every job, not a basic strength tester.
Riverside Reading & Caversham
Homes close to the Thames often have older brackets and connectors worn by damp river air — we fit stainless fixings as standard along these streets.
Tilehurst & the Chiltern approach
Tree-lined roads towards Pangbourne lose picture quality every summer as leaves thicken up — a repositioned aerial or Freesat backup keeps the picture steady.
Central Reading & Earley
Properties sitting close under the transmitter path can actually receive too strong a signal, which needs an attenuator fitting rather than an amplifier.
Wokingham & Bracknell borders
Homes here often pull a cleaner picture from Crystal Palace than from Hannington — we check both before deciding which way to point the aerial.
New-build estates in Woodley & Twyford
Foil-backed insulation on newer roofs blocks cabling routes and wireless signal alike — hardwired WiFi and a properly routed aerial feed solve it.
Henley-on-Thames & Maidenhead
Conservation restrictions mean a standard aerial on the front elevation is often refused — we fit discreet loft aerials and run cabling out of sight.
Why customers trust us
Straightforward work, done properly the first time.
Independent, local engineers
You deal directly with the person doing the work, not a call centre passing your job along the chain.
Work guaranteed for 12 months
If something we fitted develops a fault, we come back and put it right at no extra cost to you.
Free quotes over the phone
We give you a clear price over the phone before any work starts, so there's nothing to query later.
