TV aerial installers in Cobham

Cobham’s large houses, village cottages and long tree-lined drives make for some of the trickiest aerial work in Surrey. Our engineers test the signal at your house, then fit an aerial or dish that copes with the trees.

TV aerial fitters and engineers in Cobham

Cobham’s large houses and long drives make it one of the more involved areas for a TV aerial fitter. The aerial is often set well back from the road, hidden behind a chimney or tucked into the loft, and it may need to feed a dozen TVs across the house, a pool room and a garden office. Our engineers design the system before they start, so every room gets the same strong picture.

Trees are the main challenge here. Oxshott and Fairmile are thickly wooded, and an aerial that worked well when it was fitted can lose signal as the trees grow. We measure on the day, and where the trees have won, we raise the aerial on a taller mast or switch to a satellite dish facing south-east.

In the village itself, around the High Street and Church Street, the buildings are older and some are listed. There the job is about fitting discreetly and protecting old roofs. Whether it is a single new aerial for a cottage or a full distribution system for a large house, our local aerial engineers test everything before they leave.

Which aerial suits your Cobham home?

Homes we work on in Cobham

Each kind of Cobham home brings its own aerial problems. These are the ones we see most.

Large houses with long drives

Several TVs, home cinemas and outbuildings. We plan one aerial or dish system that feeds every room evenly.

Village cottages

Low chimneys and listed fabric. We use fixings that protect old brickwork and keep the aerial discreet.

Homes among the trees

Where the trees win, a dish facing south-east usually finds a clear view.

Aerial notes for each part of Cobham

What our engineers find on the roofs in each neighbourhood, from the jobs we do there.

Cobham village

Homes: Period cottages and shops along the High Street and Church Street.

Aerial notes: Older buildings need careful fixings. Crystal Palace usually gives a good picture.

Fairmile

Homes: Large detached houses on private roads among tall trees.

Aerial notes: Trees are the problem. A taller pole, or a dish where the aerial can’t see out.

Stoke d’Abernon

Homes: Family homes, the station area and houses near the river.

Aerial notes: A good signal on most roofs. Plenty of extra TV points into extensions.

Downside

Homes: Village cottages and farms south of Cobham.

Aerial notes: Lower ground and woods, so we often measure the Guildford relay as well as Crystal Palace.

Church Cobham

Homes: Older houses near St Andrew’s and the Mole.

Aerial notes: The river valley sits lower. A taller mast helps some houses.

Cobham aerial questions

Do you cover all of Cobham?

Yes. Our engineers work right across Cobham, including Cobham village, Fairmile, Stoke d’Abernon, Downside, Church Cobham and Oxshott.

Which transmitter do Cobham aerials point at?

Most face Crystal Palace, about 16 miles east-north-east of Cobham. It carries BBC London. Where trees or hills get in the way, the Guildford relay, about 13 miles off to the south-west, can be the better choice. We measure both.

Could my Cobham aerial live in the loft?

Sometimes, but at this distance from the transmitter the roof tiles cost a lot of signal. Our engineer holds a meter up in your loft first, and says plainly when the aerial needs to go outside.

Can you hide the aerial on a large Cobham house?

Usually. A loft aerial, one behind a chimney or one on a rear elevation keeps the front clean. We measure the signal first to make sure it will hold.

Do you work in Oxshott and Stoke d’Abernon?

Yes, and Downside, Fairmile and the rest of KT11.
