What goes wrong with Wavendon TV aerials
These are the faults behind most Wavendon repair calls, and what we do about each one.
“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.
Picture breaking up
Blocky, frozen pictures mean the signal is borderline. Water in a joint, a perished cable or a twisted aerial are the usual causes.
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.
Bent or broken TV aerial
Snapped elements, a bent pole or a cracked connection box. Small damage can be repaired; a badly broken TV aerial is replaced on a sound fixing.
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.
Wavendon aerials after high winds
After a storm we prioritise anything hanging loose over Wavendon pavements and gardens, then come back to finish the job properly.
Gable aerials for foil-backed lofts
Many new Wavendon homes have foil-backed insulation that blocks a loft TV aerial. A bracket on the gable, connected to the coax in the walls, is the usual answer.
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 Wavendon pictures drop out
Some Wavendon faults are not a broken part at all, but the local signal. This is what we know about it.
Sandy Heath for most
Most homes point east to Sandy Heath.
Crystal Palace as an option
Some roofs on this edge can use Crystal Palace. We test both.
New-build lofts
Foil-backed insulation often blocks loft TV aerials.
Unfinished wiring
Many new homes have cable but no aerial connected.

When a Wavendon TV aerial repair is not enough
Most Wavendon aerials can be repaired. Here is how we decide when one cannot.
Usually a repair
A new cable, connector, bracket or booster fixes most faults, and costs far less 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.
The wrong type for your area
An aerial built for the wrong channel group will never give a steady picture from Sandy Heath, however well it is aimed.
Homes like Wavendon Gate
Many aerials here went up decades ago. Where the chimney or bracket is tired, we move the aerial to a safer fixing.
TV aerial repair questions from Wavendon
Straight answers for Wavendon households.
Is the problem my aerial or my TV?
Check another TV. If they all fail together, look up the line at the aerial, cable or amplifier. If just one does, the fault is probably its own lead, socket or tuning.
Which transmitter should my Wavendon TV aerial point at?
In Wavendon the answer is usually Sandy Heath, with Crystal Palace as an option. We check the signal at your roof and aim at whichever gives the steadiest picture.
Can you fix storm damage to my aerial?
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 Wavendon?
Yes, a visit carries a call-out charge. Advice over the phone or WhatsApp is free, and you get an accurate guide price before any work starts.
Do you fix aerials you did not install?
Yes. Most of our repairs are on aerials fitted by someone else. We keep the parts that are in good order and replace only what has failed.
Do you repair aerials for landlords and flats in Wavendon?
Yes. We repair aerials in rented homes, HMOs and blocks, arrange access with tenants and send a short note of the work for the landlord or agent.
