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.

I contacted David to get a price for installing a rooftop Freeview TV aerial and putting a new TV connection into the kitchen. He was able to do a site survey and get back to me with a quote very promptly which was accepted. I was very pleased with the job done, everything was installed very tidily, it was done when promised and David and assistant were both very friendly. I would definitely recommend and use again.

Following sudden problems arising with my freeview and direct aerial tv services I called in David English. Our aerial set up is somewhat complicated in that we have a large tv aerial and satellite dish distribution box which serves my flat and two others above me in the same building. It formerly served more flats but following ownership changes it was reduced to just the three flats. As I have responsibility for the service to all the flats it was essential to get a good repair for everybody. David arrived on the specified time, identified the problem ( a failed amplifier ), offered a cheap solution of opting out of the satellite part of the set up as no one used it but as we wished to future proof in case anyone eventually chooses satellite services he did a temporary work around giving everyone good aerial service and returned later to fit a new amp having given advance clear estimate of cost. David is very polite and professional and him and his assistant were always removing shoes when entering the interior of the house. I would emphatically recommend the services of David's company to anyone needing tv aerial works of any kind.

We had a steadily deteriorating signal and loss of picture, David was recommended to us and quickly arranged a new installation which provided a big improvement in reception. He was able to resite the aerial to a better position on the roof and kindly helped with moving the old aerial and scaffold pole it was supported on, out of the way. Would definitely recommend David and will pass his name on should we be asked for a good installer ourselves.

Had problem due to neighbour's scaffolding. David agreed to deal with it, turned up to the second and resolved the problem efficiently by moving my satellite dish temporarily to the scaffolding. Reasonable price. Will use him when the scaffolding comes down.

David erected me a dish, TV and radio aerials. He was extremely knowledgeable and very helpful in installing everything exactly where I wanted them. I was particularly pleased with the installation as it was not an easy or a quick job. On top of that, I am the sort of person who asks lots of questions like, ‘Can we do this?’ ‘Why can’t we do that?’ He showed a lot of patience in answering those questions and really did give me quality answers. I am a very happy customer.

I cannot recommend David English too highly. He is a real star – a superb engineer and incredibly skilled. My house had extremely confusing aerial wiring (three different sets in all) but no signal. He worked with immense patience, trying various things, to untangle the confusion. He then set about restoring a signal and saved me the considerable expense of roofers and a dish by establishing that a good aerial in the loft would work, as it did. I now have a signal. Not only is he highly professional, he is extremely courteous, faultlessly punctual, and tidied up immaculately afterwards. A totally brilliant expert.”

Excellent service from start to finish! David kept me informed of his findings as he went along and offered creative solutions to solve our problems. All the work was carry out in a timely manner and without leaving a speck of dust behind him. I cannot recommend him highly enough!
