Common aerial faults around Queenborough
The old houses along Queenborough High Street are close to the creek and the Swale, and the damp, salty air takes its toll on aerial cable and connectors. Pictures that break up after rain, then recover, are the classic sign. Replacing the outside cable and the connectors usually cures it for good.
At Rushenden, many homes are new and were built with loft amplifiers and multiple sockets. Faults here are usually inside the house: a disconnected cable after a kitchen fit, or an amplifier that has lost power. We test each socket and fix the one that has gone.
From a loose plug to a new aerial in Queenborough
We carry the common parts on the van, so most Queenborough 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 Queenborough satellite page.
Match your Queenborough fault to a fix
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.

What Queenborough customers ask about repairs
Local answers for Queenborough. If yours isn’t here, ring and ask.
Why does my TV in Queenborough only fail in wet weather?
Water is getting into the cable or a connector. We replace the damaged section and seal the joints, which usually solves it.
Do you repair aerials on the new homes at Rushenden?
Yes. We know how those homes are wired and can usually find faults quickly.
How quickly can you get to Queenborough?
Usually the same day. Sheppey is part of our regular round.
