What’s usually included
- Finding the cause: the aerial, the cable, the wall socket or the TV
- Realigning or re-fixing the aerial
- Replacing damaged cable or connectors
- Retuning and checking every channel
What changes the price
- Whether the fault is on the roof or inside
- Corroded brackets or storm damage
- Whether the aerial is worth saving, or needs replacing
Before you book anyone, check
- CAI membership, for anything on the roof
- Public liability insurance
- A call-out fee that comes off the repair if you go ahead
First, retune your TV and check the cable from the wall to the TV: many "aerial faults" are a loose plug or a retune after a transmitter change.

Questions
- Why have I lost some channels but not others?
- Freeview channels come from several frequencies. A weak or misaligned aerial can lose some and keep others. Try a retune first; if that doesn't fix it, it's likely the aerial or cable.
- Can weather affect my TV signal?
- Yes. High pressure can bring interference from distant transmitters, and wind can move a loose aerial. If it comes and goes with the weather, a fitter can usually fix it with a better fixing or realignment.
