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.

David erected me a dish, TV and radio aerials. He was extremely knowledgeable and very helpful in installing everything exactly where I wanted them. I was particularly pleased with the installation as it was not an easy or a quick job. On top of that, I am the sort of person who asks lots of questions like, ‘Can we do this?’ ‘Why can’t we do that?’ He showed a lot of patience in answering those questions and really did give me quality answers. I am a very happy customer.

My Sky dish was misaligned during roof re-laying. Sky could not send an engineer for a fortnight. David came on the same day that I called him and aligned the dish correctly and quickly. David behaves in a professional manner and charged the same as Sky.

David has 15 years of aerial and satellite installation behind him and it shows. His approach to the work is thoughtful, taking account of the concerns of the client. He works quickly, neatly and and very efficiently; hiding cables and tidying up. He is also a very nice guy and his charges are reasonable.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I asked David to come and diagnose our bad digital TV reception. He was very helpful, punctual and tidy and clearly explained what our options were for fixing things. In the end we decided to install a new aerial and this was done immediately, and he even tidied up some old cables at the front of our house. I would thoroughly recommend him to anyone else.

Having had David English do a superb job on positioning again my satellite dish on a tall roof a while ago, 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 to other set top boxes linked to the TV screen. They were no longer a confusing jumble

Had problem due to neighbour's scaffolding. David agreed to deal with it, turned up to the second and resolved the problem efficiently by moving my satellite dish temporarily to the scaffolding. Reasonable price. Will use him when the scaffolding comes down.

David installed satellite and aerial, fitted signal amplifier and distribution of digital TV and sky throughout my 5 bed, two living room house. He also wired cat 6 data feeds throughout, installed ceiling and wall speakers in several locations and wall hung 3 TVs and sound bar. David worked with precision throughout the project and co ordinated well with other trades who were on site. The job has been finished to a very high standard throughout and we are thoroughly pleased.

I originally contacted David to run Cat5e cabling externally for some PoE IP cameras. The work was carried out to a very high standard, with the external cabling run discreetly as possible and the patch panels inside the premises fitted cleanly to our office wall. Since that first job, I have commissioned David two more times: He replaced a dangerously fitted satellite dish installation, combining both the dish and standard UHF aerial onto a single, robust fixture. Finally, I had David move/re-run some internal cat6 data points in our home prior to some restructuring. During each job, David and his assistant were courteous, friendly and professional. He made sure I was completely happy with the work before packing up, allowing me to set up and test my cameras and perform iperf testing of the cat6 cable runs. If I ever need any more work done on my home home network, or for AV equipment, I'll definitely be giving David a call again.

Although he was having a day off for his birthday David replied immediately to a voicemail I left asking about his service. I needed a TV mounting on the wall and a mess of wiring tidied. He quickly sent me an estimate for the work which was done a few days later. He turned up exactly on time and did a fantastic job, consulting throughout to make sure he got it right. The cost was at the lower end of the quotation he’d given. And on top of all that he’s a very nice bloke! I’d highly recommend him.

The team (2 persons) arrived as agreed and got on with the work. Everything was agreed with me before they continued. The work was largely external but was carried out in a professional manner. When inside they always removed their shoes. The installation works well and is guaranteed. All old materials were removed from the premises. Very nice people good work
