Not every reception problem means you need a full new aerial. A lot of the Exmouth aerial repairs I carry out are caused by smaller faults that have been building up quietly for a while. Water in the cable, a weakened bracket, a failing booster, loose connections behind the TV, or storm movement at roof level can all make a perfectly decent setup start behaving badly.
That is why I always start with fault finding. My son Will and I look at the system as a whole, test the signal, and work out where the real issue is before recommending any repair. Customers appreciate that because they know they are getting an honest answer, not just being sold a complete replacement.
Common aerial faults we repair in Exmouth
Picture break-up and pixelation
If the picture freezes, breaks into blocks or disappears in bad weather, there is usually a reason that can be traced. It may be cable deterioration, low signal margin, amplifier trouble or a directional problem. Coastal weather and exposure can be hard on outdoor fittings over time, so it is worth checking everything properly.
Missing channels after a retune
One of the most common calls I get is from customers who have lost channels after retuning. Sometimes the television has tuned to the wrong transmitter; sometimes the signal is unstable; and sometimes the fault was already there and the retune has just brought it to light. I can check the setup, correct the tuning and repair any underlying issues.
No signal at one or more TVs
If one room has lost signal but another is fine, the problem may be with a splitter, distribution amp, wall plate or local cable run rather than the roof aerial itself. I trace the problem systematically so you are not paying for work that is not needed.
Domestic and commercial aerial repairs
We carry out domestic and commercial aerial repairs in Exmouth. That includes houses, flats, offices, shops, holiday properties and other premises where a television system needs attention. In some buildings the issue is very simple; in others there may be shared equipment, more complex cabling or multiple outlets to test.
Whatever the property type, I aim to keep the explanation straightforward. I will tell you what I have found, what needs doing, and whether a repair is sensible or whether replacement would represent better value in the long run.
Repairs carried out neatly and sensibly
I take a lot of care over repair work because it is easy to create new problems by doing a quick patch-up. If something needs replacing, I would rather do that once and do it properly. We use quality cable and fittings, weatherproof outdoor joints and tidy fixing methods, so the repair is made to last rather than just to get the picture back for a week or two.
If it turns out your system would be better replaced rather than repaired, I will explain that clearly. If a repair is enough, I will say that too. Our aim is always the right fix for the home, not the biggest bill.
