TV aerial repairs in Marlow
When the Freeview picture goes in Marlow, 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 Aylesbury office.
Fixing TV aerials in Marlow since 1999
Lost channels and pixelation by the river, often down to damp joints. Traced on the meter and fixed on the first visit where we can.
Most Marlow homes take Freeview from Crystal Palace. When a picture fails, we measure signal strength and quality at the TV, at the amplifier and at the aerial, so we replace the part that has failed and nothing else.
You get free advice over the phone or WhatsApp first, and an accurate guide price before any work starts. Send a photo of the aerial and we can often tell you what is wrong before we arrive.

No signal, pixelation and other TV aerial faults in Marlow
Nearly every Marlow 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 Crystal Palace 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.
One TV not working
If the other rooms are fine, the fault is in that room: the socket, the cable or a splitter. We test each point to find it.
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 Marlow, made safe and refitted
Homes near the river sit low, and the hills behind can block part of the Crystal Palace signal. High-gain aerials help. When wind gets under an old TV aerial in Marlow, it bends the pole or twists the bracket. We make it safe, then fix it so it stays put.
Careful positioning by the river
Homes under Winter Hill and Quarry Wood need the aerial placed to find the clearest path, sometimes on a taller mast or a different side of the stack.
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.
Loose over a path or drive
A storm-damaged TV aerial above a path or a car is the job we move to the front of the queue. Keep clear and send us a photo.
Storm damage and insurance
We give you photos and a written note of the damage and the repair, which most home insurers ask for.
Why Marlow pictures drop out
Before blaming the aerial, it helps to know how signal reaches Marlow.
Thames valley floor
Homes near the river sit low, and the hills behind can block part of the Crystal Palace signal. High-gain aerials help.
Winter Hill and Quarry Wood
Houses tucked under the wooded hills can be in shadow. Careful positioning and height fix most of them.
Strong in Marlow Bottom
Marlow Bottom and the ridge towards Booker have a clear view, and loft TV aerials often work there.
Conservation areas
The High Street, the bridge and the river frontage are protected. Aerials and dishes are kept out of sight.

When a Marlow TV aerial repair is not enough
We will always tell you honestly which makes more sense on your Marlow roof.
Usually a repair
A new cable, connector, bracket or booster fixes most faults, and costs far less than a new TV aerial.
Badly broken or worn out
Snapped elements, a box full of water or twenty winters of corrosion. At that point a new TV aerial is the honest answer.
Wrong aerial for Crystal Palace
Some older aerials were made for a different transmitter group. If yours cannot pick up Crystal Palace properly, we will say so.
Older roofs in Marlow Bottom
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.
Marlow TV aerial repairs: your questions
Straight answers for Marlow households.
How do I know if the aerial is at fault?
If every TV in the house has the same problem, the aerial, main cable or booster is the likely cause. If only one TV is affected, it is usually that room's cable, socket or the TV's tuning.
Which transmitter should my Marlow TV aerial point at?
In Marlow the answer is usually Crystal Palace, about 27 miles south-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?
If anything is hanging loose, keep people clear and call us. We make it safe as soon as we can reach you, then repair or replace the aerial and its fixing properly.
I have a bent or broken TV aerial. Can it be repaired?
Often it can. Bent poles, loose lashings and split cables are repairable. If the aerial itself is badly broken or corroded, we fit a new one and tell you why first.
Do you charge a call-out fee in Marlow?
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 Marlow?
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.
