New TV Aerial Installation Essex www.andysaerials.com

Saturday morning and were off to a new TV aerial installation in Essex, and yet again another large house with an incredibly difficult roof to gain access to.  After looking at all our options we decided to extend our triple ladders and rest them on the chimney stack giving us a better chance of getting around to the chimney.  My customer’s aerial had come down in the recent high winds and storms, it had not been fitted very well and the wrong equipment was used on the installation.  We decided to cut down one of our 12ft 2” alloy masts to 6 or 7ft as we did not need the height as the house was 3 stories, but wanted the extra support and strength of the 2” alloy mast. Using a large chimney cradle which uses 5 brick courses of the chimney stack, this will provide plenty of support for our new TV aerial install.  We took down our customer’s broken old aerial and re-lashed their chimney stack and fitted our large chimney cradle ready to receive the aerial.

We fitted a Fracarro w/b log-periodic TV aerial to the 2” 6ft mast and neatly taped down the aerial coax cable, appearance is everything!  We took the aerial and spectrum analyser up again to the chimney and dropped the aerial mast into the brackets of the chimney cradle; we plugged the aerial into our spectrum and aligned our customer’s new TV aerial.  We were both happy with the readings of the spectrum analyser; a good strong signal equals happy customers.  With the aerial now up all we need to do was connect our signal to our customer’s house.  Once we had our signal in our customer’s loft we connected their cable and checked the TV point with our meter.  Happy with the signal we changed our customer’s coax plug and re-tuned their TV.

We were happy with the results a working TV again all we had to do now was take down our ladders and clear up.  We wrote our bill and set off to our next call a new TV aerial installation in Chelmsford Essex.
