From initial contact with Cable Guys they understood the requirements, pre-empted my questions and Troy did an excellent job on the day. The work was completed a little earlier than estimated so the final invoice was reduced to reflect this. Polite, professional, knowledgeable, highly recommend.

Troy from Cable Guys really took pride in the work carried out. He took time to listen to me and understand what we needed and provided excellent suggestions. It was an easy process, he was on time, did what he said he would do and the work was of a very high quality. We will definitely use Cable Guys again and will/have recommended Troy to friends/family. If only all trades people were like Troy.

Sue was super helpful in arranging Troy to come and give us a quote, actually listened to my communication preference (which is rare!). Troy was super friendly and polite when he came to give us the quote and arranged the work to happen very quickly. Turned up today and again was super friendly and helpful, did the work really quick and cleaned up after himself. It was all a really positive experience and happy with the TV now being wall mounted!

Following 27 years of using various TV suppliers we had a jungle of redundant cables within the house and fixed to the outside. I had a recommendation that 'The Cable Guys' could sort it out for me. Following a phone call a visit was arranged which duly happened on time. The technician, Troy, was extremely polite and professional, taking all precautions in view of the prevailing Covid-19 requirements. Wasting no time, he was able to make sense of the tangle, sorting it out in the hour that had been estimated. Without hesitation I would thoroughly recommend the Cable Guys.

I just wanted to thank you for the work your Engineer did on his visit to my home yesterday. On arrival he immediately clarified the scope of the work with me, and then installed a new satellite dish on my gable end as requested. On checking the signal quality he advised me that I could get a better signal if he moved the dish slightly, and we agreed to do this. Once installed, he carefully ensured that the cables were routed out of sight and connected them to my Freesat box, leaving plenty of spare cable in case I moved the television at a later date. Your Engineer also removed my existing Television and FM aerials which were sited high on a rooftop chimney. In performing all this work he consulted me whenever a decision had to be made, and I now have a very high quality installation which gives me an excellent signal. Thank you for a job very well done, and it was a real pleasure to have used Cable Guys, who I will heartily recommend to friends and relatives.

So pleased to find such an honest, fair and trustworthy company. Lee checked and solved problems with signals, both aerial and satellite, and fitted an extra aerial socket for me. He checked that both my freesat and freeview boxes were working well. He was polite, courteous and considerate throughout. Sue in the office, a delight to deal with, insisted on refunding a slight overcharge - even though, what I had paid, I considered to be a very fair price. They are rightly proud of their company and I cannot recommend them enough.

You can see why they are trusted traders: Cable Guys could not have been more efficient or more helpful. In the midst of coronavirus lockdown, they sorted out our total aerial failure speedily and satisfactorily. Sue at base managed some small organisational miracles, and Troy carried out the work ultra-professionally. Very highly recommended.

Cable Guys Ltd were previously recommended to us by John Lewis when we purchased a FreeSat TV. We have also recommended them to friends and our 2 sons where they have had TV aerials fitted or issues resolved. They have on all occasions been reliable, professional and given an excellent service. It would be good if all companies provided the same level of service.

I can't speak too highly of Cable Guys and Stuart who did the work. This entailed fixing a large tv to the wall and setting up the 3.1 Hifi system. I have never come across such a super quick technician and the cost of works was transparent and very fair - what more could you want.

After years of dodgy digital signal, and recently periods of no signal, I contacted Cable Guys. Difficult to diagnose the fault but, from the options I was offered, I ended up with new aerial and cable, and, powerful signal. That coupled with other freebie advice (such as to update my PVR firmware) has left me way better off than before, all for a very reasonable amount of money. Recommended.

The Cable Guys came and sorted my T.V aerial after I had brought smart TV and got it up and running in no time, every thing the people say on here is true they are a top class company from the first point of contact till the end of the job they do for you. Would have no problem recommending them to any one.

Would definitely use again and can recommend without hesitation. Cable Guys impressed from start to finish. Good, informative website with no nonsense price list and the lady on the phone was very pleasant and helpful too. Arranged installation of aerial with points to 6 rooms. A very friendly guy arrived, on time, and asked what I wanted where and talked me through the options. He was very willing to drill where I wanted to ensure the best cosmetic finish and answered all my questions. He also offered to leave sufficient cable in each room as hadn't decided exactly where each TV was going. Very happy with the work done, no issues at all. All cables left neat and tidy and he also cleaned up after himself.

Pleasant and polite lady able to answer all queries at initial phone contact. Made arrangements to call at specific time. Phoned on the day to explain slightly late arrival due to horrendous weather. Two men arrived, very pleasant, explained options. They installed a point and signal booster from existing aerial. Wore protection over their shoes and did a very careful job. Would certainly recommend

I needed a new aerial on the roof. Two companies came to look at the job. They said that they needed to access the chimney from the roof but because my roof has fancy ridge tiles that can easily be broken by the roof ladder they did not want to take on the job. I called Cable Guys and they got to the aerial directly from the chimney using all the correct safety/climbing equipment. They also fitted a distribution amp in the loft and made good an originally poor installation. I found them to be very competent and good value for money.

Used this company for the first time when I needed a new aerial point and a general tidy up of existing wires outside my house. The engineer turned up on time and he was extremely efficient and did an excellent job. He was very pleasant and helpful (helped me to retune a TV more effectively) and was a pleasure to do business with. I would have no hesitation in recommending this firm to anyone.

Cable Guys recently installed a Freesat dish for me and connected it to a Humax Box. They charged £120 which I consider very good value for the dish, cabling and the work of two technicians. They offered me a choice of appointments for within 3 or 4 days of my call. They arrived promptly and took great care in establishing the best position to fix the dish, trying to strike a balance between siting it as unobtrusively as possible and getting the best signal. I recommend them highly.

I recently bought a new HD Plasma TV and wanted to set up Free Sat using an old SKY dish I was no longer using. I already had aerials set up on site and I wanted them to check I was getting the best signal out of them. They were at my house for about 2 hours and checked everything over, changeing bits where needed. Everything works better then before and my HD picture is just fantastic. I am very happy to recommend these guys. They may not be the cheapest in town but I think all in all, you get what you pay for so on that basis they are value for money.

I can't recommend the Cable Guys more highly. They've done various jobs for me - installing an FM/DAB aerial and points including Sky in several rooms, electrical wiring work like installing new sockets, and other repairs. Every time, they've been expert, professional and nice guys to have around. They even put boot covers on before they come into your house.

We needed a chimney aerial to view a second digital TV, which would be cheaper than paying cable monthly to use a second set. Cable Guys found the TVonics digibox recommended by Which?. The installation was clean and efficient. He had the equipment to find the best signal resulting in an excellent picture. All work was of a very high standard with friendly explanation at all stages.
