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.

New aerial fitted

I asked David to check my decades-old aerial and replace it with a new one. He responded quickly with a quotation, arrived on time on the agreed day and was very considerate of my house, removing shoes, using dustsheets and moving any furniture that might have been caught by ladders being carried in and out. He also asked me exactly where I wanted the new aerial sited. From the street the aerial and the cabling looks very neat (the TV works too!). The bill came in at the low end of his quotation range and he even repaired some broken flashing he noticed while on the roof! Highly recommended!

Writing as a retired architect. David installed a new replacement aerial. The whole event was totally professional and stress free. The work is meticulous, the price fair and reasonable, and it was a pleasant experience. David also sorted out the Smart TV loaded with an Asia only geo-setting, and went through wall mounting and concealed wiring options for later on. He also helped our elderly neighbour with his connection problems gratis. In short professional service at it's very best.

David arrived on time for both the quote and the installation. I was provided with 2 quotes to either repair or replace. I now have all my freeview channels back plus HD for the first time. David and Alfie were very polite and tidy and all the rubbish was removed afterwards. Highly recommended.

Having initially tried to put this right by phone David English visited my house and resolved the issue, bringing TV picture and sound back in less than 30 minutes. I have used him before on related issues including fixing an areal to the house roof. He is always pleasant, strait forward and efficient and his charges are reasonable. I have recommended him to neighbours.

David arrived on time, understood instantly what the issues were and gave the assurance that they could be put right. In answer to some questions I had, he was also able to suggest improvements to the system throughout the house. At no time were these suggestions as a consequence of him pushing for additional business! I was very happy to have his guidance as given in his responses to my queries. David and Alfie were very polite and personable and kept me informed of all actions undertaken during the job.

Excellent service, very professional and genuinely good manners - can't recommend David highly enough. I had a new HD aerial and socket fitted. Smooth process from start to finish, and the little touches and attention to detail made all the difference. Thank you David :)

David installed a new aerial system promptly after I first contacted him. This involved sorting out some old internal junctions and booster equipment, and he certainly fixed various extras which he couldn't have known about when he quoted. Very impressed all round and I don't hesitate to recommend him.

If only all service providers were as thoughtful and took the same care as David! I was very pleased with his responsiveness to my initial inquiry but was even more impressed when he came to our house and made sure that the installation was the right solution for our space and equipment. I really appreciated his attention to detail and care over his work, almost like it was his own home. Replacing our faulty Sky remote with a spare free of charge was an added bonus. Thanks very much to David and his nephew for a job well done!

Very quick response. Able to fit us in rapidly as he was working in the area and we had to have an aerial installation revised because of ongoing roofing works. David was polite, helpful, efficient, did an excellent job a at a fair price and we are very happy to recommend him.
