New aerials fitted for Newbury roofs
We pick the aerial to suit your roof and the Hannington signal reaching it, then set it on a mast and bracket that will still be solid in ten winters.

Reception in Newbury
What we usually find on Newbury roofs
Very close to the mast, so overload is the usual culprit behind breakup here. Attenuation and a correctly grouped aerial beat any amplifier.
We work right across Newbury, including the canal wharf and Wash Common, and out to the surrounding villages. Because we are only up the road in Reading, a job in RG14 is a short run for us — so there is no travel charge and same-week slots are normal.
Aerial and satellite work we do in Newbury
Repairs and storm damage
Bent elements, snapped masts, loose chimney straps and water in the cable are the usual Newbury call-outs. Most are put right on the first visit.
Breakup and missing channels
We meter signal strength and quality at the aerial and at the TV, so you find out what is actually wrong instead of paying for guesswork.
Extra TV points
Bedrooms, kitchens, garden rooms and offices around Newbury — cabled properly and tested, with the routing agreed before we drill anything.
Satellite, Sky and Freesat
Dish installs, realignment and LNB faults, plus Freesat where the terrestrial picture will never be reliable at your address.
Communal and landlord work
Flats and rented property in RG14 — one visit, one report, and every point tested before we leave.
Local detail
Aerial and signal work across Newbury
Newbury is close enough to Hannington that too much signal, not too little, is the usual cause of breakup. Old wideband boosters left over from the analogue switchover are the biggest single culprit across RG14, and the fix is often to remove equipment rather than add it.
Outside the town the picture changes. Wash Common, Speen and the outlying farms and barn conversions bring long cable runs and, in some dips along the Kennet, genuinely marginal reception where Freesat is the steadier answer. We say which before any work is booked, not afterwards.

Questions
Newbury aerial questions we get asked
Do you charge extra to come out to Newbury?
No. Newbury is part of our normal working patch, so there is no travel charge on top of the price you are quoted.
Is the quote really free?
Yes. Quotes are free and given over the phone on 0118 968 0881. We don't issue written quotations or send a salesperson round first.
Which transmitter will my Newbury aerial point at?
Usually Hannington. We meter it on the day rather than assume, because two roofs on the same street can read very differently.
Can you fix it the same day?
Most RG14 aerial and signal faults are diagnosed and put right on one visit, and we carry the common parts on the van.
Do I need a new aerial or just a repair?
Often just a repair. We check the aerial, the mast, the cable and the connections, and only recommend a replacement when the old one genuinely cannot be saved.
Which Newbury areas do you cover?
RG14 and the surrounding villages including Wash Common, Speen, Donnington, Greenham and Shaw, plus Thatcham, Hungerford and Tadley.
Why has my picture got worse since a booster was fitted?
Because Newbury already has plenty of signal. Amplifying it overloads the tuner. We measure the level and usually fit attenuation or take the booster out.
Is Freesat worth it here?
In a few Kennet valley dips, yes — it gives a stable picture where terrestrial never will. Everywhere else a properly fitted aerial is the better option and we will say so.
Do you charge to come out to villages around Newbury?
No. The whole area is part of our normal patch, so there is no travel charge added to your quote.
