Valley houses
Older homes on the valley floor often need a mast to reach a usable signal.
TV aerial installers in Caterham
Caterham on the Hill gets a strong signal; Caterham Valley sits in a deep dip. Our engineers know the difference and fit aerials that work in both.
TV aerial fitters and engineers in Caterham
Caterham is really two towns: Caterham on the Hill, high on the Downs, and Caterham Valley, down in the dip. The difference in TV reception between them can be striking. On the Hill, the signal from Crystal Palace is usually strong. In the Valley, the steep sides can block it, and our aerial engineers often need a taller mast or a carefully positioned aerial. The housing is varied, from Victorian villas in the Valley to post-war estates on the Hill and newer flats at the old barracks site. Our TV aerial fitters adapt to each, using wall brackets, chimney fittings or loft aerials as the house needs. Further out, Whyteleafe, Chaldon and Woldingham have their own challenges, with woodland and hills affecting signal. We test before we fit, and where an aerial won’t do the job, we offer Freesat or Sky instead.
The new flats and houses at the old barracks site on Caterham on the Hill often need satellite feeds added or TV points connected. Our engineers work with residents and managing agents to sort it. In the Valley, older Victorian homes often need the aerial raised to clear the steep sides.

Caterham aerial questions
Do you cover all of Caterham?
Yes. Our engineers work right across Caterham, including Caterham on the Hill, Caterham Valley, Whyteleafe and Woldingham.
Which transmitter do Caterham aerials point at?
Most face Crystal Palace, about 10 miles north of Caterham. It carries BBC London.
Could my Caterham aerial live in the loft?
Often, yes. You’re close enough to the transmitter that a loft can pick up a usable signal, though foil-backed insulation and nearby trees still spoil some. Our engineer tests the loft with a meter before suggesting it.
Why is my Caterham Valley picture worse than my friend’s on the Hill?
The valley floor is shielded from Crystal Palace. A taller mast, a high-gain aerial or a dish usually solves it.
Do you cover Woldingham and Chaldon?
Yes, along with Whyteleafe, Warlingham and Kenley.
