TV aerial repairs in Sevenoaks
Sevenoaks sits on a steep greensand ridge, with valleys on both sides. We repair aerials across the town and the villages around it, and aim each one at the best signal.

The faults we fix most in Sevenoaks
Sevenoaks gets its Freeview from Crystal Palace, to the north-west, and the town’s hills make reception very variable. Homes on the ridge, around the town centre and Kippington, usually get a good signal. Homes in the valleys, at Riverhead and Otford, can struggle. We measure on your roof and fit what works there.
The large houses in Wildernesse and the roads around Knole Park are surrounded by mature trees, which can block the signal in summer. A taller pole is often the fix.
Every kind of aerial repair in Sevenoaks
We carry the common parts on the van, so most Sevenoaks 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 Sevenoaks satellite page.

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.

Before you book a repair in Sevenoaks
Local answers for Sevenoaks. If yours isn’t here, ring and ask.
Why is my Sevenoaks TV picture poor in summer?
Trees in full leaf block part of the signal. A taller pole or a different position on the roof usually fixes it.
Do you repair aerials in Otford and Kemsing?
Yes. We cover Otford, Kemsing, Riverhead, Sevenoaks Weald and Seal.
Which way should my Sevenoaks aerial point?
Usually north-west, towards Crystal Palace. Some homes in the valleys get a better signal from a different mast. We test before deciding.
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.
