About this service

Most TV reception faults are cheaper to fix than you think

When the picture goes, most people assume they need a new aerial. In our experience, many reception faults come from something smaller: a cable that has let in water, a corroded plug, a booster that has burnt out, or an aerial that the wind has knocked a few degrees off line.

We start every repair by measuring the signal at the aerial, along the cable and at each wall socket. That tells us exactly where the signal drops, so you only pay for the part that has actually failed. If the aerial itself is the problem, we'll show you the meter reading and explain why before recommending a replacement.

Signs your aerial system needs a repair

Pixelation, blocking or freezing on some or all channels
A "No Signal" or "Weak Signal" message on the TV
Channels that have disappeared after a retune
Reception that gets worse in wind or rain
Only one TV in the house affected
Problems that started after a storm or roof work
An aerial you can see is leaning, bent or hanging loose

What you get

What a repair visit includes

Full system test

Signal strength and quality measured at the aerial, the cable runs and every TV point.

Cable and connector repair

Water-damaged or perished coax replaced with double-screened, low-loss cable, and joints weatherproofed.

Booster and power unit checks

Masthead amplifiers, power supply units and splitters tested and replaced if faulty.

Realignment

Aerials that have moved re-pointed at the strongest local transmitter and secured.

Bracket and lashing repairs

Loose chimney lashings, brackets and poles tightened or replaced so the aerial stays put.

Retune and test

Every TV and box retuned, with a final check on each channel group.

Local knowledge

Reception in Swansea

Swansea's hills, the coastline and the valleys mean signal strength changes a lot from one street to the next. Homes are usually served by the Kilvey Hill relay or the Carmel main transmitter, and an aerial pointed at the wrong one, or knocked slightly off line, can lose channels even when it looks fine from the ground. Coastal air in places like Mumbles and the Gower also corrodes aerials and connectors faster, so we use weather-resistant fittings on every repair.

Questions

Aerial repairs FAQs

How much does an aerial repair cost?

It depends on the fault. Replacing a connector or a short run of cable costs far less than a new aerial. We test first and give you a fixed price before any work, and there's no call-out charge.

Can you repair my aerial or does it need replacing?

Most aerials can be repaired or realigned. We only recommend a replacement if yours is corroded, damaged, or the wrong type for your transmitter, and we'll show you the readings that prove it.

Why does my picture break up when it rains?

Usually because water has got into the cable or the aerial's connection box. Wet cable loses signal. Replacing the damaged section and sealing the joints normally fixes it.

Only one TV has a problem. Is it the aerial?

Probably not. If the other TVs are fine, the fault is likely that room's wall socket, flylead, splitter or cable run, which is a quicker and cheaper repair.

Can you come out today?

Usually, yes. Call before midday for the best chance of a same-day visit anywhere in Swansea and the surrounding areas.
