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 ran some cabling over the top of the house for a Virgin installation and sorted out the relevant BT lines and w-ifi issues. Thorough, efficient and helpful.

David arrived on time and carried out the work in a respectful and professional manner. He fitted a new dish and even returned my sky remote and box plus fixing the magic eye. The cost was spot on with the quote and I would have no problem recommending him to others. Russell

David did a brilliant job: he took down the wonky old aerial attached to the front of the house and neatly removed its unsightly cable threaded under the window sill, replacing it with a modern aerial attached to the chimney and running its cable discreetly behind our drainpipe and into the sitting room out of sight. He re-tuned the TV and PVR, made sure the Fire stick was working, and even tidied up the mess of cabling at the back of all the equipment. He worked quickly and efficiently, was pleasant and helpful, and was also great at keeping me informed - he phoned to change the scheduled date because of predicted bad weather, but was able to do the job that day instead. I can't really comment on value for money, as I didn't get any other quotations for the job - what I'd read on Which? Local convinced me that I didn't want anyone else to do the work, and I'm very glad I made that decision.

Although he was having a day off for his birthday David replied immediately to a voicemail I left asking about his service. I needed a TV mounting on the wall and a mess of wiring tidied. He quickly sent me an estimate for the work which was done a few days later. He turned up exactly on time and did a fantastic job, consulting throughout to make sure he got it right. The cost was at the lower end of the quotation he’d given. And on top of all that he’s a very nice bloke! I’d highly recommend him.

David insisted he come in and look at the room where the work was taking place, when he arrived I knew he was the man for the job because he knew exactly what he was talking about and his confidence calmed any reservations I had about my ideas for the room. We wanted to change the dynamic of our meeting rooms and wall mount two 65 inch TV's on a partition wall, as well as a 48inch TV in another room, this was carried out by David to a high level of professionalism. The TV's look great and have completely transformed the room. He was polite, tidy and a pleasure to work with. Cheers!

Used David English both to install multiple TV points several years ago and to fix a recent aerial problem caused by builders. Original installation was very neatly done with most cabling well hidden. Came very quickly to diagnose and fix the recent problem. Good, efficient service.

David installed satellite and aerial, fitted signal amplifier and distribution of digital TV and sky throughout my 5 bed, two living room house. He also wired cat 6 data feeds throughout, installed ceiling and wall speakers in several locations and wall hung 3 TVs and sound bar. David worked with precision throughout the project and co ordinated well with other trades who were on site. The job has been finished to a very high standard throughout and we are thoroughly pleased.

Mr English and his assistant came on the day he promised having given us a call the day before to give us a time. He took great care to check out what we wanted offering a couple of helpful options. The location of the cable was not straightforward and required clearing of some ivy. It was fitted neatly and securely. He then set up our televisions linking in to our internet. All this was done with great care and good humour. We would definitely recommend him.
