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.

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.

A really quick appointment appointment booked, received an eta on the day, arrived as promised, then worked methodically to trace the fault and fix it, leaving a very happy customer! It's quality if work, reliability and customer service, so lacking in others, that also makes him really stand out

We heartily recommend David and will tell family and friends about him if they need work done. We asked to move satellite and phone cables away from our windows, as they were due to be replaced. He was excellent all round, both with contact, replying to questions, but most importantly turning up as arranged. We even got a courtesy email to remind us of the appointment, an eta, and he arrived early. He replaced old cables, checking with us to ensure we were happy with the new location too. Other installers had left long lengths of cable and David tidied everything up, leaving the whole area inside the house looking so much better than it had been. He checked everything was working before leaving. A good experience all around.

David promptly answered my call himself and texted a quote immediately. He was able to book in the job to fit in with a quite urgent request before scaffolding would be dismantled. He fitted a new aerial to serve three flats and cleared away all old cables and obsolete aerials. He had a flexible approach and was able to do all that was required efficiently, taking away all the unwanted old equipment. He was friendly and helpful with lots of good advice. And he stuck with his original quote

David English was very helpful when I had a problem with my aerial and TV reception. He came exactly when he said he would and made sure he had the correct ladders with him. On arrival he investigated the problem and clearly and carefully explained to me what the best solution would be. He identified the problem was with the television not the aerial . David was really helpful and considerate throughout, and the whole problem was dealt with less than 24 hours after I first contacted him.

Contacted David to repair a broken Ariel. David arrived at the agreed time & carried out the work efficiently. In addition, he repaired some broken tiles. I would highly recommend David. David also did some cabling work unexpectedly which I had been meaning to do for some time. Very impressed.
