If only all jobs could go like this one.  We arrived on time as arranged and for the 1^st time in a long time the sun actually shined a little.  I chatted to my customer and they wanted Anglia new if possible.  We agreed a price and I trotted back to my van for my ladders.

Although there wasn’t a cloud in the lovely blue sky, I still needed to put my gloves on before touching my ice cold ladders, I can’t wait summer!  I carried my ladders around to the rear of the property and extended them to the roof line.  Back to the van again to get a large chimney cradle and lashing kit for the stack.

The roof was a dream to walk up, no roof climber required, gentle incline perfect.  The chimney stack was nice too, although there wasn’t a lot of room to accommodate our new aerial as the stack was over crowded with aerials from other flats.  After fitting the large chimney cradle I fitted the large U’ bolts read for aerial I hadn’t yet put together.

After looking at the surrounding aerials while lashing the stack I decided to put together a Blake DMX5 w/b aerial as I couldn’t see any issues with signal.  I love my Blakes and know they will last for years and years to come.  I put the Blake on a 8ft  1” ½ alloy mast, heavy duty pay dividends as I know it will still be there for years, you only pay for what you get in this day and age so let’s have the good stuff.

Aligning the Blake to Anglia I was extremely pleased with the 50db of signal on all 6 mux’s and knew my customer would be delighted as they asked for Anglia.  I cut up a lashing wire and pinned the down cable to the roof to prevent it moving and keeping a nice straight line down the roof line.  I cabled it in white as the flat had a nice white PVC facia and couldn’t see any other route of getting the aerial cable into the sitting room, so white was perfect as you can see in the picture.  (The other dangling cable not mine was to the flat beneath.)

Inside now fitting a nice grommet in the wall where the aerial cable came in, I fitted a coax plug and connected it to the TV.  I tuned the Panasonic TV and the signal strength & quality on the display as the TV was tuning was 10 perfect!   I presented my bill and set off for my next call at Billericay.
