Saturday morning and first call New Aerial Installation Loughton Essex, we arrive and surveyed the property for fixings and running the new aerial cable to the front sitting room.  Our customer as always was lovely and quickly provided up with a nice cup of tea.  With the house being on 3 floors we had the height for great signal, so we decided to fix a Blake DMX5 w/b aerial only question was on which fixing.

We used a 12” wall bracket as there was not enough wall space for a pair of T&K wall brackets, fixed firmly with large coach bolts and nylon mungos we achieved an extremely strong fixing.  We put the Blake on an eight foot alloy mast and used large U bolts to connect the mast to the wall bracket.  The Blake once aligned brought in a lovely signal measuring 55db on the spectrum analyser.

We cut up a lashing wire to secure the aerial coax cable to the roof to keep it neat and secure then across towards the drainpipe where we could secure the cable with cable ties to the drainpipe.  We love to use drainpipes where possible as you can’t see the cable run, there’s nothing worse than a building littered with cables purely because the engineer can’t be bothered to run them right.

Once on the ground we were able to lose the aerial cable under the bark chipping and around the gas meter until it climbed up with the BT phone cables so we were impressed with the cable route from start to finish.  I drilled the hole through the wall inside out in the bottom corner behind the TV system and was pleased with the cable entering the house as I was with route into the house.

After fitting a nice decretive grommet in the hole in the wall which just finishes off the cable run making it look that bit better, I fitted the aerial coax plug and tested the signal once again just to check the cable and connections were as they should be, which they were.  I then set up and tuned the lovely Samsung TV and checked the all the channels were there which they were, and wrote my bill and set off to our 2^nd call.
