Signal & coverage in Hitchin
Sandy Heath coverage across SG4 and SG5
Hitchin sits 11 miles south-west of Sandy Heath with mostly clean line-of-sight. The ridge at Highbury and Oughtonhead can shadow lower-lying streets in the town centre, and Walsworth's deeper valley sometimes loses the BBC HD multiplex on older aerials. We carry meters on every job and confirm the strongest pointing before fitting.
Conservation area work in Tilehouse Street and Bancroft
Hitchin's medieval and Georgian core is a tight conservation area — North Herts planning is strict on roofline alterations. We loft-mount aerials where signal allows, hide dishes on rear elevations and use smaller 60cm dishes painted to match brickwork on listed buildings.
