TV aerial repairs in Loughton
When the Freeview picture goes in Loughton, the fault is usually one part between the aerial and the TV. We find it with a signal meter, tell you what it is, and fix it, usually in one visit from our Milton Keynes office.
Local TV aerial repair engineers for Loughton
Failed amplifiers and corroded connectors, traced on the meter and fixed.
In Loughton the usual transmitter is Sandy Heath. A reading at the TV and another at the roof tells us whether the trouble is the aerial, the cable, the booster or the TV itself.
Advice over the phone or WhatsApp is free, and we give you an accurate guide price before we start. A photo of the roof often tells us what to bring.

What goes wrong with Loughton TV aerials
Nearly every Loughton call-out is one of these. Each has a clear fix once the meter has found it.
“No signal” everywhere
When every TV loses the picture at once, it is normally the booster, the main cable or the aerial. The meter shows which.
Pixelation and freezing
Borderline signal from a wet connector, old cable or a TV aerial knocked off line. We replace the failed part, not the whole system.
A few channels gone
When one group of channels vanishes, the aerial is usually a few degrees off Sandy Heath or a filter is blocking it. A realign on the meter sorts it.
Damaged aerial on the roof
Birds, ladders and weather all take their toll. We replace broken elements, bent poles and split boxes, or fit a new TV aerial if it is beyond repair.
Only the bedroom TV
Other rooms fine? Then look at that room: a loose plate, a pinched cable behind furniture or a tired splitter.
Fine one day, gone the next
Weather-related faults come from a moving aerial or a wet connector. We tighten, re-seal or replace so it stays fixed.
Storm-damaged TV aerials in Loughton, made safe and refitted
Knowlhill offices often need CCTV and screens. Winter gales are behind many of our Loughton call-outs. We make a damaged TV aerial safe first, then put it back up properly.
Replacing tired loft systems
Many MK5 homes still run on the loft TV aerial and amplifier fitted when they were built. A new TV aerial and amplifier bring every room back.
Bent masts and snapped brackets
A bent pole or a bracket pulled out of soft mortar is replaced with galvanised or stainless parts, fixed into sound brick.
Hanging off the chimney
If a TV aerial or cable is dangling, keep people and cars clear and call us. We make it safe as quickly as we can reach you.
Claiming on your insurance
Storm damage is often covered. We send dated photos and a short report so you can make the claim.

Fix a broken Loughton aerial, or replace it?
We will always tell you honestly which makes more sense on your Loughton roof.
Most faults are one part
A corroded connector, a cracked cable or a dead booster. Changing that one part is quicker and cheaper than a new TV aerial.
Old or corroded aerials
If the elements are rotten or the connection box has filled with water, a new TV aerial is the lasting fix.
Wrong aerial for Sandy Heath
Some older aerials were made for a different transmitter group. If yours cannot pick up Sandy Heath properly, we will say so.
Older roofs in Furzton
A tired chimney or rusted bracket can be the real problem. We move the aerial to a sound fixing rather than refit it in the same place.
Loughton TV aerial repairs: your questions
What people in Loughton ask when the picture goes.
How do I know if the aerial is at fault?
A fault on every set points to the roof, the main cable or a booster. A fault on one set points to that room. Tell us which and we can usually narrow it down by phone.
Which transmitter should my Loughton TV aerial point at?
In Loughton the answer is usually Sandy Heath, to the east. We check the signal at your roof and aim at whichever gives the steadiest picture.
My aerial was damaged in a storm. What should I do?
Keep away from anything that has come loose and send us a photo. We make it safe first, then refit the aerial on a sound fixing.
Is a broken TV aerial always replaced?
No. A broken bracket, pole or cable is simply replaced. We only fit a new TV aerial when the aerial itself is damaged beyond repair, and we show you why.
Do you charge a call-out fee in Loughton?
There is a call-out charge for a visit. Talking it through by phone or WhatsApp costs nothing, and we give you an accurate guide price before starting.
Can you repair a TV aerial someone else fitted?
Of course. Whoever put it up, we test it, keep what is still sound and change only the parts that have failed.
Do you repair aerials for landlords and flats in Loughton?
Yes. Letting agents and landlords book us for rented houses and shared systems. We sort out access with the tenant and send a brief report afterwards.
