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.

We had suffered a loss of our 'Sky' service following my attempt to sort out a problem with our T V. David was able to visit promptly and rectified the problem while at the same time simplifying the control of the TV. It was a fairly simple job but I am not too clever technically and he explained what he was doing and offered alternative solutions. He was always polite and easy to deal with and gave me some useful advice on reviewing Sky contracts. The price came within his minimum charge and seemed reasonable.

I cannot recommend David English too highly. He is a real star – a superb engineer and incredibly skilled. My house had extremely confusing aerial wiring (three different sets in all) but no signal. He worked with immense patience, trying various things, to untangle the confusion. He then set about restoring a signal and saved me the considerable expense of roofers and a dish by establishing that a good aerial in the loft would work, as it did. I now have a signal. Not only is he highly professional, he is extremely courteous, faultlessly punctual, and tidied up immaculately afterwards. A totally brilliant expert.”

Had David in today to replace my old aerial, which had just about given up. Before installing the new one, he thoroughly tested the old one to see if it could be repaired - I don't think many other installers would have done that! David then went on to explain what he intended to do and efficiently and expertly installed the new aerial. He then cleaned up and left the garden tidy taking away my old aerial. I would definitely use David again and I can't recommend him highly enough...!

Whenever it rained etc our freeview would pixelate or disappear entirely. I was sure that it was because the cable from our aerial was not great. I also wanted to get another TV aerial socket installed in our front room because we currently run wires from our one internal socket around the house. We got one estimate from another trader who quoted for going up to the aerial to check/replace and run a new cable from the aerial to the front room. Their quote was very expensive. I asked David to come over and he was very responsive and came over quickly. He took a completely different approach and measured the signal at various places. He confirmed that it was the cable and that he could fix it without going up to the roof. He also confirmed that we didn't actually need another internal socket (unless we really wanted one). He fixed it there and then and did it while my boys were running amok. David is honest, good value and a nice guy.

I called in English Installations for a quote on running an additioanl cable from my satellite dish to a new digital TV recorder to benefit from its extra features. When Mr English looked at my installation he found that I had all the necessary cabling already installed and it was just a question of setting it up correctly, which he did in 5 minutes. His fee? zilch! Not a bean, not a penny. A true gentleman. Needless to say he comes highly recommended!

I was experiencing very bad pixilation on freeview channels and BT Vision. I thought it was a problem with the aerial. David English quickly established that the signal from the aerial was good, and that the problem was with the BT Vision box. He also showed me a way to get round the problem until BT supplied a replacement box. He is very experienced and also gave me advice on my new smart TV. I would thoroughly recommend him.

David was very helpful, kept everything simple and straightforward and answered all my questions clearly. He worked out whether our problem was aerial or tuner and advised on options, all for a token fee.

I am so happy to have found David. He is first class and really knows his stuff. We have RF distribution from garage to every room and he installed 2 sky boxes, hdmi over RF, access to both boxes in different rooms, magic eyes, sorted our tel. line problems, made sure we could access our cctv system on tv's and hung up and connected a new TV. He made quite complex issues look easy and would recommend him to anyone.

I called David due to bad TV signal, pixelation and loss of sound on some channels on two televisions. He quickly checked all my equipment (DVD recorder and hard drive recorder as well as the televisions and all the cables) and told me everything inside my flat was fine. Then he started tracking the wires from the building aerial to my flat and found a junction box outside of the window where the TV aerial enters the flat that was faulty. He was able to bypass this junction box and installed a new one, solving all the problems. His charge was more than reasonable and he was very pleasant to have around. I will definitely recommend him to my friends. Now I hope to recover the cost from the managing agent of my building since the fault wasn't inside my flat and David said he would be happy to speak to the agent and explain the problem and his solution.

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 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!

I found David through Which Local. His reviews were excellent so I approached him to come and connect our new TV. He successfully connected the TV so all elements were working, Xbox, DVD player, sound bar and Apple TV. He was punctual, quick, knowledgeable, extremely helpful and excellent value. I will use him again.

So refreshing to talk to David. He said he could do the job & fit into our tight schedule. Arrived on time, looked the job over & discussed possible ways of bringing arial cable into the house into 3 points. Job done incredibly neatly, considerate to those around him, nothing too much trouble. I’d definitely recommend him.

David and his colleague replaced our satellite dish on the roof terrace. They arrived on time and were both very polite and friendly. They did the work quickly and efficiently, replacing the satellite dish and taking the old one away. The invoice was as per the quote and very reasonable. They were tidy. The new dish works very well. I was very impressed by the quality of the service from the initial call to the installation itself. I would recommend them very highly.
