What goes wrong with Edenbridge aerials
Edenbridge is in a pocket between transmitters, and signals arrive from several directions. Some homes do best on Heathfield, others on a different mast entirely. If your aerial was fitted pointing at one and you have lost channels, it may be worth testing the other.
The Tudor and Georgian buildings along the High Street are listed or in the conservation area, and many have aerials in the loft or on rear chimneys. We repair them carefully, without moving them to more visible positions.
What we can fix in Edenbridge
We carry the common parts on the van, so most Edenbridge repairs are finished on the first visit. You get the price before we start.
Realigning a turned aerial
Wind and slipped clamps turn aerials off the transmitter. We re-aim on a meter and fit new clamps.
from £99same-day repairs
New cable and connectors
Cracked coax and corroded plugs replaced with double-screened cable and sealed compression fittings.
Amplifiers and splitters
Failed, overloaded or unpowered loft amplifiers tested, adjusted or replaced so every room works.
Storm damage
Fallen, bent or hanging aerials made safe, then refitted on a stronger pole, with photos for your insurer.
A new aerial when it’s beyond saving
If the aerial itself has failed, we fit a new one aimed at the right transmitter and test every channel.
Satellite dish faults
No satellite signal on Sky or Freesat? See our Edenbridge satellite page.
What’s wrong with the picture in Edenbridge?
Choose what your screen is doing. The panel shows the usual culprit and lights up the part of the house where it normally is.
Every channel says “No signal”
- Usual cause
- Usually a connector that has worked loose behind the TV or at the aerial, a loft amplifier that has died, or an aerial knocked off its bearing by the wind.
- What we do
- We check the signal at three points, the TV socket, the loft and the mast, so we replace only the part that has gone.
Pixelating or freezing when it’s wet or windy
- Usual cause
- Rainwater getting into tired coax, connectors eaten by salt air on the coast, or a mast clamp that has slipped so the aerial rocks.
- What we do
- New double-screened cable, sealed compression fittings and the clamps done up properly.
A handful of channels have vanished
- Usual cause
- An aerial made before the frequency changes, one pointing at the wrong mast for your street, or 4G and 5G from a nearby phone mast swamping the amplifier.
- What we do
- A meter reading on each multiplex tells us which. Then it is a realign, a filter or a modern wideband aerial.
Freesat or Sky can’t find the satellite
- Usual cause
- A dish nudged off target by a gale or a ladder, a failed LNB (the part on the arm), or a waterlogged cable.
- What we do
- We peak the dish on a meter, then swap the LNB or the cable if they have failed.
One room has a picture, another doesn’t
- Usual cause
- A loose wall plate, a dead output on the splitter or amplifier, or damage somewhere along that room’s cable.
- What we do
- We follow that cable from the room back to the loft and repair the fault we find.

Repair questions from Edenbridge
Local answers for Edenbridge. If yours isn’t here, ring and ask.
Which transmitter should my Edenbridge aerial point at?
It depends on your home. Many use Heathfield, but some get a better signal elsewhere. We measure both before deciding.
Do you repair aerials in Cowden and Hever?
Yes. We cover Cowden, Hever, Crockham Hill, Marsh Green and Four Elms.
Can you repair an aerial on a listed building in Edenbridge?
Yes. Like-for-like repairs normally need no consent. We keep the aerial in the same place.
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.
