Hannington / Crystal Palace
Big plots mean long cable runs, and that is usually what causes the pixelation people blame on the aerial. We measure the loss end to end before deciding whether any amplification is needed at all.
Coverage areas
One engineering team, one price list, covering everywhere from riverside Reading and the Chiltern ridge to Oxford, Didcot, Witney and Banbury.

Where we work
Depending on where you live, your aerial or dish will be pointed at Hannington, Oxford, Crystal Palace or a local relay — and rooflines, trees and hills all get in the way differently. Here's what our vans usually find, town by town, grouped by county.
Berkshire
Hannington / Crystal Palace
Big plots mean long cable runs, and that is usually what causes the pixelation people blame on the aerial. We measure the loss end to end before deciding whether any amplification is needed at all.
Berkshire
Hannington / Crystal Palace
Two viable transmitters serve Bracknell, and the nearer one is not always the better one. We check both from your roof and fit for whichever holds up in bad weather.
Berkshire
Hannington / Crystal Palace
Heavy pine cover through Crowthorne knocks signal down as the trees fill out, so we build in margin instead of leaving the picture on the edge.
Berkshire
Hannington
Earley has plenty of mature tree cover, so aerials that just about coped in winter start pixelating once the leaves are out. Height and a properly grouped aerial sort it.
Berkshire
Crystal Palace
Conservation frontages along the High Street rule out bulky aerials, so we fit slimline arrays, hide the cable runs and use reversible fixings wherever we can.
Berkshire
Hannington / Oxford
Down in the Kennet valley the terrestrial picture can be marginal, and Freesat is sometimes the steadier answer. We tell you which before any work starts.
Berkshire
Hannington / Oxford
On the valley floor, roof height usually decides which group locks in cleanly. Older aerials around the town centre are more often corroded than badly aimed.
Berkshire
Hannington
Very close to the mast, so overload is the usual culprit behind breakup here. Attenuation and a correctly grouped aerial beat any amplifier.
Berkshire
Hannington
Central Reading roofs mostly favour Hannington, but the Caversham slope often reads better on the Oxford group. Flats and terraces near the station also suffer reflections that a filtered aerial clears.
Berkshire
Hannington / Guildford
Wooded slopes around Sandhurst create dips where the main group fades, and the Guildford relay often fills them. We choose on measurements, not postcode.
Berkshire
Crystal Palace
Flats and terraces around Slough suffer multipath, which shows up as ghosting and sudden dropout. Grouped, filtered aerials settle the picture properly.
Berkshire
Hannington
Kennet valley dips around Thatcham cause long-standing dropout that a modest mast raise usually cures, without touching the amplification.
Berkshire
Crystal Palace
Conservation streets around Windsor call for discreet aerials, hidden cabling and reversible fixings. Crystal Palace is the usual group from here.
Berkshire
Hannington
Wokingham's newer estates are foil-insulated, which blocks TV signal and WiFi between rooms. Extra TV points and a wired mesh node usually solve both in one visit.
Oxfordshire
Oxford
Abingdon sits low beside the Thames, so roof height often decides whether the Oxford group locks in cleanly or drifts at teatime. Older terraces around the market place tend to have chimney straps that need renewing before any aerial goes back up.
Oxfordshire
Oxford / Sutton Coldfield
Banbury sits at the northern edge of the Oxford coverage, so some roofs do better on a different group entirely. We meter both before deciding, rather than assuming the nearest mast wins.
Oxfordshire
Oxford
Bicester has a strong, steady Oxford signal on most streets. The complaints we get here are usually about weak signal in back bedrooms, which is a cabling and splitter job rather than a new aerial.
Oxfordshire
Oxford
Open ground around Carterton gives a clean line to Oxford, so persistent break-up here is nearly always old cable, a corroded connector or a failing splitter.
Oxfordshire
Oxford
Sitting under the Chiltern scarp, Chinnor loses the higher groups on many roofs. Oxford is normally the reliable answer, with the aerial set clear of the ridgeline.
Oxfordshire
Oxford / Chipping Norton relay
High Cotswold ground and steep valley sides mean reception changes street by street. Some homes lock onto the main Oxford group, others are steadier on the local relay, and only a meter reading settles it.
Oxfordshire
Oxford
Flat, open ground and a strong Oxford signal mean most Didcot faults turn out to be cabling, splitters or corroded plugs rather than the aerial itself.
Oxfordshire
Oxford / Hannington
The steep Chiltern sides above Henley cut out Hannington on many roofs, so Oxford usually wins. Riverside properties get weatherproofed connections and stainless fixings as standard.
Oxfordshire
Oxford
Close to the Oxford transmitter, so overload is more likely here than weak signal. Adding a booster usually makes the picture worse — the fix is the right grouped aerial and, if needed, attenuation.
Oxfordshire
Oxford
Heritage streets across Oxford need discreet installs, so slimline aerials, concealed runs and conservation-friendly fixings are the default rather than an extra.
Oxfordshire
Oxford
Open Oxfordshire farmland gives Thame a clean Oxford signal, so the usual faults are old cable and corroded rooftop connections.
Oxfordshire
Oxford
Listed town-centre buildings need slimline aerials and concealed runs to keep the frontage clean, which is how we fit them as standard.
Oxfordshire
Oxford
Under the Downs, some Wantage streets sit in a signal shadow where an extra metre of height changes everything. Freesat is the fallback where it does not.
Oxfordshire
Oxford
Witney is well placed for the Oxford mast, though the older stone properties around the green often have aerials on tired chimney fixings that need renewing before anything else.
Hampshire
Hannington / Midhurst
Alton lies in a chalk dip, so two transmitter groups are usually in play and only a meter tells you which one is steady all day. Homes up towards Windmill Hill often do better on a modest mast raise than on more amplification.
Hampshire
Hannington
Basingstoke sits close to the Hannington mast, so overload is far more common here than weak signal. Adding a booster usually makes the picture worse — attenuation and a properly grouped aerial fix it.
Hampshire
Hannington / Guildford
Fleet's newer estates are foil-insulated, which blocks TV signal and WiFi between rooms just as effectively. Extra points and a wired-back mesh node usually go in together.
Hampshire
Hannington
Close enough to Hannington that signal is strong, so the usual fix here is removing an old booster rather than adding one.
Hampshire
Hannington
Practically under the Hannington mast, so signal is plentiful. Almost every call-out here is about overload, damp cable or a failed splitter.
Hampshire
Hannington
Very close to Hannington, so signal is strong and old boosters do more harm than good. We strip out what is not needed and set the levels properly.
Hampshire
Hannington / Guildford
Heath and tree cover around Yateley softens signal in summer, so we fit for headroom rather than a marginal pass.
Buckinghamshire
Oxford / Hannington
The Thames valley floor here is shadowed by the Chiltern edge, so Oxford often reads steadier than the nearer group. Riverside damp also means every joint gets sealed properly, not taped.
Buckinghamshire
Oxford / Crystal Palace
Tall trees and generous plots make cable length and aerial height the deciding factors here. Satellite is often the steadier option on the most shadowed roofs.
Buckinghamshire
Oxford / Hannington
Marlow sits deep in the valley with the Chilterns on both sides, so a metered comparison of both groups is the only sensible starting point.
Surrey
Hannington / Guildford
Heath and pine cover around Bagshot softens signal in summer when the trees are in full leaf, so we aim for headroom rather than a bare pass mark.
Surrey
Guildford / Hannington
The Hog's Back blocks a lot of Farnham roofs, so the Guildford relay often carries the day. We meter both before quoting rather than assuming.
