About Canterbury Aerials & Satellites

A Canterbury business fixing TV reception on Kent rooftops since 2000, independent of every TV provider.

Established 2000. Independent specialists. £5 million public liability insurance. Repairs from £99, often fixed on the day you call.

Since 2000aerials and satellite

Twenty-five years on Kent’s roofs

We set up in 2000, back when every set was analogue. We’ve put in the aerials for digital switchover, the dishes when Freesat launched, the wideband aerials after two lots of frequency changes, and now Starlink dishes for farms and villages the broadband never reached. What doesn’t change is the county itself: flint cottages, Regency terraces, oast houses and clifftop bungalows, each with its own way of fixing an aerial.

No TV company pays us, so the advice is ours. Sometimes that means a new aerial, sometimes a five-minute cable fix, and sometimes telling you the fault is in the TV and not on the roof.

What to expect from us

  1. Someone who knows the trade answers. Phone or WhatsApp, you speak to the team, not a booking line.
  2. Prices up front. A picture of the job is often enough for a quote before anyone drives out.
  3. No surprises on the day. The engineer tells you what needs doing and the cost before any work starts.
  4. Checked before we go. We go through every channel, TV point or WiFi room with you at the end.

A typical week

Mostly aerial faults and new aerials, a good number of dish jobs, and TVs to hang or rooms to wire in between. Thick-walled cottages get mesh WiFi; farms and garden offices get Starlink.

Letting agents and freeholders use us for communal and commercial systems, and after a gale our phones are busy with storm-damaged aerials and masts.

About the business

Anything else you’d like to know, just ask.

What insurance do you have?

£5 million public liability insurance. If your landlord, managing agent or block needs a copy before we go up, we’ll send it over.

Do you get commission from Sky or anyone else?

No. Nobody pays us to recommend their service. We suggest Freeview, Freesat, a dish, Starlink or simply a streaming stick, depending on what your house and your viewing need.

Do you take on commercial work?

Yes. Communal systems for blocks of flats, screens in pubs and hotels, TV and WiFi for holiday lets, and network cabling for small offices.

Which areas do you cover?

The whole county, run from our base in Canterbury.

Quicker with a picture

Snap the aerial or dish from the garden, or the error on the TV, and WhatsApp it to us with your postcode. An engineer looks at it and replies with the likely fix and a price.

Talk to a Canterbury engineer

Ring the office, or WhatsApp us a picture of the roof, the dish or whatever your TV is showing. Most of the time we can say what the fault is and give you a price there and then.
