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.

Great work on fixing my aerial socket.

Recently moved into the house and one aerial socket was not working. David persisted with the diagnostics to find the problem (not obvious) and fixed it. Booking the job was easy and text communication was excellent. David arrived on time and was very tidy throughout the job. He communicated well on what the problem was. Clearly very knowledgeable. The invoice was within the quote despite extra work (more time). High recommended.

Needed removal of a TV aerial which fell following high winds. Also wanted to get removal and cleanup of other items left in a poor condition by a previous contractor. David responded to my initial enquiry within the hour, and was available to do the work the same day. He quickly identified what needed to be done, removing the old aerial and satellite dish and relocating the remaining dish and aerial. He worked quickly and neatly, leaving my systems in full working order and removing the old equipment. He was friendly and knowledgeable and a pleasure to deal with.

Our satellite dish needed a new part installed together with a new quad cable to the television and set-top box. Having had David English before, I asked him to do this work. He did this in a most professional manner, testing his work every step of the way, and discussing his findings. He is extremely pleasant and explains the reason why he suggests doing certain things. This gives one real confidence. The work was done to my complete satisfaction, and I would recommend him thoroughly. He will gladly provide an estimate before starting work. My belief is that one should always ask for this, with any tradesman one employs.

A pleasant young man who offered several solutions to my problem. After discussions, by text, he came and did exactly what he said he would. No fuss or bother. Cleaned up well after the job was completed. Re-set both TVs to received additional channels without being asked.

David turned up at the appointed time and explained what he had to do. He used the small Velux window in my loft room for roof access. He removed the old aerial and cable and took it with him. He was very informative throughout and advised on missing tile replacement which I will certainly look into. His price was what I expected from his original quote. I am very happy with the result.

Installation of aerial

David English answered my call for help and sent me two estimates by text later the same day. He came at the agreed time, tested our TV and aerial signal thoroughly and gave me the choice of refurbing the aerial or replacing it with a new one. I went for the latter option. He installed and tested the new aerial and cables and removed the debris - all in about an hour and a half. He was very helpful and polite, coping magnificently with a difficult neighbour. And as a bonus, the final bill was less than the estimate he originally gave. Would highly recommend David.

They sorted out a problem with there being no signal on one of my satellite cables. The price was reasonable, especially as he spent time to give me much useful advice. He arrived when he had said he would, having phoned me to to say he was on his way. David is a pleasure to deal with and I would cheerfully use him again.
