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'd just moved into a new home and the whole place was running with various different cables from Sky, Virgin and Freesat. All I wanted to be able to do was use my Freeview box, but there was no aerial on the roof. I contacted David and he was able to pop round the day after I moved in. He installed an aerial on my roof and removed all the cables from my house. He also removed all the extra phone cables and repositioned the box into my lounge. Also on top of all that, he's a nice chap.

I contacted David to install my TV on the wall, move all cables to the opposite side of the room, install a new directional amplifier and repair a damaged aerial cable outside. He came to assess the work and promptly provided a very reasonable estimate. He and his assistant/nephew Alfie were on time the day we arranged. They both were very polite, knowledgeable and professional throughout. David also gave some very good advice about TV settings and which cables to use. David and Alfie used trunking to hide all cables and now everything around the TV set looks neat and tidy. They also repaired an aerial cable outside that was no longer working. I wholeheartedly recommend David English installations and I will definitely use their services again.

Reading all the previous positive commendations,the praise, the satisfaction, and the high approval others have expressed re David and Alfie (his apprentice/nephew) - there is nothing more I can add except to confirm it is all true and their charges are really reasonable. One could not find better service anywhere (I know as I've had 3 other TV installers/engineers who were hopeless.) So - this is just to confirm the truth of all the compliments already quite justifiably heaped on David English Installations.

Satellite dish repair/re-installation. Phoned to ask if he could come earlier than agreed! Did a great job and obviously knows his stuff. Both David and Alfie easy to talk to. Highly recommended. I would definitely use him again.

David returned yesterday after a new PVR was giving me problems. I called him because I was so pleased with his service last June. He was able to show me how to use the PVR and set it all up for me. I had asked him to install a double aerial socket but this turned out to not be necessary. I have recommended him to friends and colleagues since June 2013.

Very impressed with David and young Alfie. They were punctual, knowledgeable and nothing seemed too much trouble. Even at the initial assessment stage they were courteous and gave good advise and different options on what one could do. I would really recommend them you will not be disappointed.

David replaced a rooftop aerial and the related cables. He was efficient, knowledgeable and friendly - he cared about the job - and his charges are reasonable. In addition, he took his shoes off before coming in the house, patiently answered my incessant questions and even cleared the roof gutter whilst he was up there! I would have no hesitation in using David again or recommending him.

I cannot recommend David highly enough. He came by and quoted and was able to do the work fairly shortly after with minimal disruption. Friendly, polite and very punctual, gave good advice and set the aerial up to leave us with some options in the future if we decided to change our set up. Very reasonable charges, would recommend to anyone and will definitely use in the future.

David and his young apprentice/relative Alfie recently came to install a couple of upstairs TV connections at my home, as well as fit a new aerial on the roof. He is very knowledgeable, and both couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. David discussed everything step by step, and he also gave me some good advice about TV sets and brackets. Reliable and punctual, exemplary workmanship, an all-round excellent service at a good price, and a genuinely nice guy. Recommended!
