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.

Dave English reconnected our TV, programme recorders, DVD player and net flix stick all of which were disconnected after an environmental emergency. Service was prompt, on time, efficient and effective. Notes and instructions were drawn up to enable absent family members to follow the set up. I strongly recommend his service.

My TV was showing pixelated channels and weak signals. David checked the TV aerial and cables, diagnosed and explained weaknesses, provided me with choices at each stage, and then carried out the work very neatly without causing any damage to the roof. The work involved removing all old redundant TV aerial equipment and cabling, installing a new system, plus adding new external splitters. The bill included a five-year warranty. Overall, David was pleasant, good at communication and prompt.

David arrived on time and managed to sort out the problem with our TV aerial. He had to repair a loose connection and configure another aerial socket. We have used David many times and would not use anyone else.

Great service from David. Free no pressure estimate. Installed new aerial and six new points. Work was very reasonably priced and was carried out neatly and to a very high standard. David is professional and very knowledgeable and I highly recommend him for all your TV/aerial needs.

I had a tuning probem with my TV that was kind of trivial, except that I had absolutely no idea how to solve it. David came round, fixed it rapidly and effectively, and charged me half his call-out fee. He was impressive.

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.

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.

What a treasure! I found David English based on the reviews on here after I lost all tv reception. David had had a cancellation that morning and so called round straightaway. He diagnosed the problem quickly and, when he was not able to fix it straightaway (as it involved going on the roof and the slates were slippery that day as it was raining), he called round later that day to fix a temporary aerial in place. Now the problem is all sorted - David checked it was all working as it should (and I now have better reception than before). It is a very neat job and a good price. David always turned up promptly, was easy to communicate with and was a pleasure to deal with - as one of the other reviewers here says, honest and professional. I would have no hesitation in recommending his service to others.

Having had David English do a superb job a while ago on re-positioning my satellite dish on a tall roof, I was glad he was available to replace my old Technomate receiver box. He installed a new version perfectly. At the same time, I asked him to rationalise the wiring and connections of other set-top boxes (cable media, dvd player etc) added and linked to the same TV. They are no longer a confusing jumble and eyesore. Again, expert jobs done at a reasonable price.

I contacted David to get a price for installing a rooftop Freeview TV aerial and putting a new TV connection into the kitchen. He was able to do a site survey and get back to me with a quote very promptly which was accepted. I was very pleased with the job done, everything was installed very tidily, it was done when promised and David and assistant were both very friendly. I would definitely recommend and use again.

I accessed David through Which? Local and can confirm all the 5star reviews listed. We wanted a new TV and DVD supplied and installed .We had contacted John Lewis but they hedged everything with qualifications : we take away the old TV but not the stand. can only mount on this wall not that with this bracket not the one we wanted. Not sure about timing . Everything was about their needs, not ours. David turned up on time (having confirmed the night before) overcame all the problems and left us with an immaculate job at a very reasonable price. Brilliant

David has done 3 jobs for me over the last couple of months and he has completed the work to a high standard. He is very polite, friendly and professional and he responded quickly to the work we required. He has come on time and has repositioned our neighbours sat dish which was affected by our building work and neatly installed a new aerial & sockets in front and rear rooms.

We had a steadily deteriorating signal and loss of picture, David was recommended to us and quickly arranged a new installation which provided a big improvement in reception. He was able to resite the aerial to a better position on the roof and kindly helped with moving the old aerial and scaffold pole it was supported on, out of the way. Would definitely recommend David and will pass his name on should we be asked for a good installer ourselves.

David solved a problem with my TV that Virgin Media could not fix in 10 months of trying. He was efficient and effective in his work and when he had resolved the issue he tidied everything up (even the mess of wires left by Virgin Media on their last visit). David is personable and showed me what he had done so that I would be able fix the problem should it arise again. I would highly recommend him.

David replaced my TV aerial and carried out signal diagnosis to ensure I could receive the best TV reception for my area. He responded quickly to my initial request, provided a fair quote and communicated well throughout the process. He arrived on time and completed the work efficiently. The job was also completed in time for the World Cup, thus ensuring peace in this household. Highly recommended.
