Hillside terraces
Steep streets and shared chimneys. A strong fixing stops the aerial moving in the wind.
TV aerial installers in Chatham
Terraces stacked up the hills above the old dockyard and big estates spreading south to Walderslade. Bluebell Hill is just up the road, so signal is rarely the problem. Wind on the exposed hills often is.
TV aerial fitters and engineers in Chatham
Chatham’s terraces climb steep hills above the old dockyard, and Bluebell Hill transmitter is just a few miles south. The signal is strong, but the exposed hillsides catch the wind, and our aerial engineers spend a lot of time re-securing aerials that have twisted or worked loose. We fit heavier brackets and new lashings so the aerial stays pointed in the right direction. On the tight terraces of Luton and the hill, shared chimneys need care. Walderslade and Lordswood are close to the transmitter, and loft aerials often work well there.
Chatham’s housing ranges from the dockyard-era terraces near the station to the 1970s estates of Walderslade and the new flats on the waterfront at Chatham Maritime. In the flats, shared systems often lack a satellite feed, and we work with managing agents to add one. On the terraces, the job is usually a new aerial and cable, fixed firmly for the wind that sweeps up from the river. Our engineers also mount TVs and add extra points in the same visit, so you only take one morning off.

Chatham aerial questions
Do you cover all of Chatham?
Yes. Our engineers work right across Chatham, including Luton and the hill, Walderslade and Lordswood, Walderslade and Lordswood.
Which transmitter do Chatham aerials point at?
Most face Bluebell Hill, about 4 miles south of Chatham. It carries BBC South East Today.
Could my Chatham 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 does my Chatham aerial keep moving?
The hills are exposed to wind. A heavier bracket and new lashings keep it pointing the right way.
Do you fit CCTV in Chatham?
Yes, for homes and shops, set up on your phone.
Can you add Sky to our block at Chatham Maritime?
Often, yes. We look at the shared system, add a satellite feed or multiswitch where there is room, and work with your managing agent to get it approved.
Why does my Chatham aerial move in the wind?
Old brackets and stretched lashings let it twist on exposed roofs. We fit a heavier bracket and new lashings so it stays on Bluebell Hill.
