About

My name is David English I have over 20 years experience in this industry. I'm a very hard working trustworthy person and I would treat your property with the same respect that I would my own home.
Most of my work comes from word of mouth and I think that says a lot.
The main services that I provide are the installation of TV aerials and satellite dishes for Freeview and satellite TV (Sky and Freesat)
Before I worked in this industry I worked in the building trade, during this time I picked up a Lot of tips from the trade. This has helped me in many aspects of the services that I offer. Including the demand for people wanting their flat screen TVs hung on the wall, Cables discreetly hidden in the walls and cables put under the floorboards and so on.
Some of the other services that I offer include installing telephone, CAT5 , CAT6 data points.
Installing all your media and data cables during the first fix of your refurbishment then doing the final fix and a signal test at the end of the refurbishment.

David did some work on our house extending some network cabling around to 2 more rooms in our house and wiring up part of our house to a TV aerial on the roof. Both of these were done as hoped for - and our expectations were exceeded. For the data cabling he listened carefully to what we were trying to achieve and his solution involved far less cables around the outside of our house than anticipated. I think this is what sets him apart - he focussed on the objective of what we were after and came up with the best way of doing it - rather than be blindsided by what I thought was the right way to do it! The cables were neatly hidden behind a drain pipe externally - and after he left we discovered in our loft the incredibly neat and tidy way cabling was tied back around the perimeter out of loft. Wiring up the TV signal required a lot more work than anticipated and again the solution required some thought - and David's solution was incredibly ingenious with no extra visible wires. Overall we'd highly recommend David English's services without hesitation.

To rectify problem arising from loss of Sky service

We had suffered a loss of our 'Sky' service following my attempt to sort out a problem with our T V. David was able to visit promptly and rectified the problem while at the same time simplifying the control of the TV. It was a fairly simple job but I am not too clever technically and he explained what he was doing and offered alternative solutions. He was always polite and easy to deal with and gave me some useful advice on reviewing Sky contracts. The price came within his minimum charge and seemed reasonable.

I contacted English Installations because I needed a TV to be hung on the wall. From the initial quote to the end of the job David was professional, courteous and knowledgeable. In my opinion he went above and beyond what was required. Initially he asked the type of questions a prospective contractor should ask for this type of work and requested photos of the area. Before the appointment I was kept informed of any changes. On the day David arrived promptly and carried out the work to a high standard and importantly, cleared up after. The initial quote was spot on and I paid no extras. I would have no hesitation using this company again.

My TV was showing pixelated channels and weak signals. David checked the TV aerial and cables, diagnosed and explained weaknesses, provided me with choices at each stage, and then carried out the work very neatly without causing any damage to the roof. The work involved removing all old redundant TV aerial equipment and cabling, installing a new system, plus adding new external splitters. The bill included a five-year warranty. Overall, David was pleasant, good at communication and prompt.

I contacted David as i needed a new roof aerial and additional socket in bedroom. Spoke to David via telephone and text to make the necessary arrangements for the following week. He was easy to deal with and there was no hard sell. Arrived as arranged, and carried out the work as agreed. He also removed an old satellite dish for me at no extra charge. David did the work really well and explained why i was having issues with the aerial. I am so glad that i got this job done as leaving it could have been disastrous.( split and worn cable that was full of water). Work done as agreed and professional throughout. He was very helpful with excellent communication.

An animal had chewed through the aerial cable. David responded promptly, came when he said he would and discussed the options. Repaired as agreed and checked TV working properly.
