There is more than one kind of installation
A quote for a new antenna should make clear whether it is a first installation, a replacement or part of a wider TV setup. Reusing sound existing components is a different job from adding new cable routes and outlets. Start by explaining what the property has now and what you want completed.
What changes the scope?
Roof access, antenna and mounting requirements, cable condition and the number of TV outlets all affect the proposed work. A multi-storey property or shared building may also require access coordination. Ask the installer to distinguish equipment, labour and additional connection or setup work.
Questions to ask before accepting a quote
Ask what has been assessed, which parts will be supplied, what can be reused and what completion checks are included. Clarify whether tuning, additional TV points, access equipment and any follow-up work are part of the price. Obtain the relevant product and workmanship terms in writing.
New antenna or repair first?
A reception symptom is not a price diagnosis. Describe whether one screen or all screens are affected and whether the problem is constant or intermittent. An assessment can help identify whether the aerial itself, a connection or another part of the setup needs attention.
Preparing for your installation enquiry
Have the property location, type of building, number of TVs and any known access limitations ready. Photos taken safely from ground level can help explain the setup. Do not climb onto the roof to collect information.
Your next step
Use the installation page to discuss a new or replacement setup, or the repair page for an existing reception fault. Ask for an itemised quote based on your property, equipment, access and the work to be completed.
