At last a break in the rain and a blue sky shining down. We had a new aerial installation Chelmsford Essex and we were both delighted to see the blue sky, although this new aerial installation was a little challenging as the roof was covered with solar panels, making access to the chimney stack difficult. Before we made a plan on how to get to the chimney stack we made up a test aerials and took some signal readings so we knew if we could achieve good quality pictures for our customers. We were happy with the readings from our test aerial and our spectrum analyser indicated a Fracarro Log-periodic would be perfect for the job with a little amplification, and as we were fitting 4 new TV points the amp was needed any-who. We managed to set up our ladders at the front of the house, there was a small 2ft wide section of roof where the solar panels did not fix or cover the roof, we now had a route to our customer’s chimney stack. We had to be incredible carful cutting the old aerial lashing wire, not only worrying about the cars parked beneath we had to avoid the glass of the roof solar panels. We managed to cut the old aerial down and get it to the floor trouble free and now we could set about re-lashing our customer’s chimney stack and fitting the new aerial furniture required for the new aerial installation.

As we see so many poor substandard new aerial installations where possible we like to use heavy duty fixings so we went to our van and fetched a large heavy duty 5 chimney brick course cradle to support our 8ft 1” ½ alloy mast. We electronically aligned our aerial using our proven and trusted spectrum analyser and wanting to keep the new aerial installation neat and tidy we ran the aerial coax cable into our customer’s loft where we could fit the 4 way amp. We quickly ran a new cable down to our customer’s sitting room and had their YouView box re-tuned and set-up in no time. All we had to do was run 3 new cables to the bedrooms and re-tune the TV’s, which we did and we were both happy with the signal readings upon checking each TV point. Our customer was as always over the moon and we started to clear up and dispose of the rubbish the new aerial installation generated. We wrote our bill and head off to our next new aerial installation.
