Friday morning 1st call a new aerial installation Ingatestone, on my doorstep and not too far to travel perfect. When we arrived we were delighted to see a new build with scaffolding all the way to the chimney stack. Knowing the signal strengths of Ingatestone we made up a Fracarro w/b log-periodic and took up a heavy duty large 5 brick course chimney cradle, the idea was to get the aerial up and aligned and then mount a zone 1 Sky mini dish on our 8ft 1” ½ alloy mast but the roof in front had a hip and the dish had to go a little higher than I originally wanted. I like my dishes to sit on the chimney cradle, giving extra strength and support to the dish, keeping it grabbing every dB our meter has squeezed out of it, but given the choice of putting the aerial and dish on the front of the stack and having the dish low, or raising the dish slightly and having the installation at the back of the stack, we decided the back of the stack was best.

We love all our installations but we were particularly happy with this installation as we used an Octo L.N.B which has 8 cables and with the aerial cable, there was 9 cables all neatly run down the chimney stack into our customer’s loft. The Fracarro log-periodic having no reflectors / back plates is a rather discreet looking aerial on any property but tucked away at the back of the stack is even better. We couldn’t ask for a better chimney stack to lash, with the scaffolding providing easy access and allowing us to compatibly walk around it, we were completely spoiled.

After we had re-checked our signal levels from both the aerial and the satellite dish we cleared up and took down our rubbish and delighted to see a skip on the site to deposit the box’s etc. from the aerial and satellite installation. We wrote our bill and took a card payment then headed off to our next call of the day.
