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.

The service provided by David (new aerial installation) was excellent. He assessed the work, provided an estimate and delivered the job quickly. I am very satisfied with the quality of the installation and the price. Highly recommended.

David English did a superb job of fixing my European satellite problem after it stopped functioning because of the recent big storm. I use a satellite dish directed at the Hotbird satellite to pick up Italian and other European TV stations. It is in an unusual position --on top of a back dormer window on the third floor of a Georgian house-- because we rightly have to meet Listed Building and Conservation Area requirements. I found Mr English on Which Local, discussed the problem over the phone, and he came round later the same day. He quickly and safely erected ladders to reach the dish, which he found had been moved by the very strong winds and also needed a new LNBF (feed horn/down converter). He realigned and firmly secured the dish after fixing the new part. The European TV reception, which had previously been good, is now better than ever! Mr English is a real expert. And he charged a very reasonable price for the job.

David was prompt, courteous and helpful. I would recommend him to anyone. It was some time ago that he came, so the date may be incorrect, the delay was due to me and no reflection on the service provided!

David came quickly to give us an estimate for a new aerial and 6 outlets at both front and back of our house. On the agreed date he arrived promptly and completed the work to a professional standard. David left the house and garden tidy. I would thoroughly recommend him

I have had David English in today, who I got from Which? Local to install an aerial for Freeview and combine this with Sky in all my rooms. He returned my call quickly and came on time to assess what needed to be done and gave me a quote the same evening. He was on time the day we had arranged. He is very knowledgeable, efficient and such a friendly man, a pleasure to have in the house. He explained as he went along what he was doing and how to get Sky and Freeview by the remote on each set. He also took away some wiring which wasn't in use anymore, as it looked like spaghetti junction at the back of the set, tidied up and made secure the wiring outside from the Sky dish into the house which had a tendency to flap about in the wind, both without charge. I would highly recommend him to anyone who might be thinking of having this type of work done, also the price is good too.

David installed freesat dish and all the digital services I wanted but didn't know if I could get. He went out of his way to research solutions to my problems providing Love film to the TV as well as finding a way to boost the general wi-fi signal into the lounge where we had not been able to get a decent signal before. He is knowledgeable and helpful.

David visited to resolve a break in a freeview signal between the aerial and the distribution unit. David quickly found and resolved the problem, and tested all the points successfully. He prompt, efficient and friendly. I would highly recommend him.

David first visited to investigate a very poor freeview picture. He diagnosed the problem, explained the different possible solutions (and costs), installed a new aerial and added TV points and connections upstairs. Everything worked perfectly. The second job was to install a wall bracket and shelf for the TV etc. While doing this he also tidied up a mass of TV and Internet cables: the whole room looks better. David is knowledgeable, an excellent communicator and I was delighted with the work that he did. I recommend him strongly.
