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.

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.

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.
