Aerial Installers Brentwood

We’re heading down the A12 and our customer needs us to give a quote for a new aerial, when we arrive we were delighted to see a lovely roof with good roof tiles a nice gradient and a fantastic chimney stack.  We chatted to our customer and after giving them a price to replace their aerial they as if we could install the new aerial now, which of course we can.  We made up a Facarro log-periodic on an 8ft 1” ½ alloy mast and neatly taped the aerial coax down the mast evenly.  We made our way to the roof and carrying a large chimney cradle and lashing kit we made our way to the chimney stack.  The views from the roof were marvellous, we made our self’s comfortable and placed the lashing wire around the chimney stack.  I secured the lashing wire to the j bolt in the large chimney cradle and placed the 3 brick corners under the lashing wire and started tightening the lashing wire until I was happy with the tension of the wire.

We dropped the Facarro into the U bolts of the chimney cradle and tightened them finger tight so we could rotate the aerial when we aligned it.  Using my spectrum analyser we rotated the aerial 360degress looking at all the signals and of course London was the winner with all 6 digital mux’s square straight and even at a lovely strength.  I tightened the u bolts securing the aerial mast to the large chimney bracket and tacked the aerial cable down the chimney stack, using the remaining lashing wire we cut the wire into lengths and made a u shape so we could pin the aerial coax cable down the roof, preventing movement, offering extended life expectancy and keeping the aerial cable run nice and neat.

We used a drainpipe to hide and support the aerial cable down from the roof to the floor, keeping the aerial cable out of sight and unnoticed.  Fortunately our customer’s TV was right behind the drainpipe’s location in their sitting room, so all we had to do was move their TV drill an extremely neat 10mm hole and tack the cable a couple of brick lengths and up into the hole.  The hole came out nice and neat and once the aerial cable was in the house we sealed the hole with silicon sealer.  Once inside I fitted a wall grommet to the hole and attached an aerial coax plug on to the new cable.  Our customer’s TV was a Panasonic and we were delighted as we re-tuned the TV watching the strength and quality of our signal being confirmed by the Panasonic TV as10/10!  Our customers were over the moon and we were too. We packed away wrote our bill and our next job was Hutton.
