Berkshire and Oxfordshire service
Visible hardware causes objections, not reception
Conservation officers very rarely object to someone wanting to watch television. What they object to is a galvanised mast bolted onto a front elevation. Almost every heritage property in Berkshire can be served from a position that's invisible from the road.
Options include loft-mounted aerials where the roof covering allows it, rear-slope or gable fixings, low-profile flat aerials, colour-matched hardware, and dark mesh satellite dishes tucked behind a parapet or set into the garden.
We provide written specifications and photos where your local authority or managing agent needs supporting evidence for a listed building consent application.
What's included
Listed & conservation done properly, first visit
Loft-mounted aerials
Fitted where slate or tile allows enough signal through, checked on a meter first.
Concealed satellite dishes
Dark or colour-matched dishes kept out of public view, including pole mounts set in gardens.
Heritage-friendly fixings
No penetration of historic fabric where there's an alternative; lead flashing respected throughout.
Rear and gable positions
Kept well off the principal elevation to satisfy conservation policy.
Consent paperwork
Specifications, photographs and siting plans prepared for consent applications.
Thatch and timber-frame work
Careful methods suited to the most sensitive property types in the county.
How it works
Listed & conservation: from phone call to finished job
- 01
Get in touch
Give us your postcode and describe what's happening on screen. Often we can narrow down the likely cause before the van's even loaded.
- 02
On-site check
Your engineer reads the actual signal at roof height, rather than assuming it matches the house next door.
- 03
Clear price
You'll know the cost before anything is fitted, drilled or climbed.
- 04
Fit and prove it
Once the work's done, every point in the house is checked and the area left as we found it.
Questions
Listed & conservation questions, answered straight
Anything not covered here, call 0118 968 0881 and speak to an engineer — not a scripted call handler.
Do I need consent for an aerial on a listed building?
Often, yes, for anything external. Loft-mounted or concealed options usually avoid the issue entirely - we'll advise before quoting.
Does a loft-mounted aerial actually work?
Frequently, in areas with a decent signal already. We check inside the loft first and will tell you honestly if it won't hold up.
Can the hardware be matched to the building?
Yes - black or heritage-finish aerials, brackets and cable are all available.
Do you liaise with conservation officers?
Regularly - we provide written specifications and photographs to support applications where needed.
