Aerial and satellite work across Stevenage
Stevenage was Britain's first post-war New Town, designated in 1946, and most homes were built in planned neighbourhoods like Shephall, Bedwell and Chells. Newer areas such as Great Ashby add modern housing on the edges of town.
Stevenage is named as part of Sandy Heath's main coverage area, so most aerials point north for BBC Look East and ITV Anglia. Many original aerials are now very old, and a modern replacement often fixes poor picture quality.
Stevenage's neighbourhoods were planned around their own shops and schools, and the housing in each is fairly uniform: terraces and maisonettes in Bedwell and Shephall, family homes in Chells and Pin Green, and newer houses in Great Ashby. The Old Town has older buildings around the High Street, some in a conservation area.
There are also a lot of flats in Stevenage, many with a communal aerial on the roof that dates back decades. We repair and upgrade these systems, and can add satellite feeds so residents don't need individual dishes on the building.
Beyond central Stevenage, we cover Old Town, Shephall, Bedwell, Pin Green, Chells, Great Ashby, Broadwater and Symonds Green.

Getting a new aerial in Stevenage
Many of Stevenage's post-war homes still have their original aerial or one fitted decades ago, and swapping it for a modern wideband model makes a real difference. On terraced streets in Stevenage, aerials usually share chimney stacks with neighbours, so we fit brackets carefully and keep cable runs tidy down the front of the house.
Stevenage is fairly level, so a well-chosen aerial at normal roof height usually gives every channel without needing an amplifier. Every new aerial we fit in Stevenage is aimed at Sandy Heath, wired with good-quality cable and tested channel by channel. If you want TV in more rooms, we add extra points at the same visit.
Whether you need a straightforward replacement or a complete multi-room system, our Stevenage aerial installers will explain the options and the price before any work starts.

Same-day aerial repairs in Stevenage
Stevenage's early New Town houses often have aerials and cable that have been up for a very long time, so a repair is often the moment to replace both.
Common reasons people in Stevenage call us for an aerial repair:
a "no signal" message on every channel, often a broken cable or connection.
aerials blown off-line or brought down in a storm.
boosters that have died, or are pushing too much signal into the TV.
old, rusted aerials that no longer pick up a clean signal.
blocky pictures and stuttering sound, usually a signal or cable problem.
interference from mobile networks that a simple filter can often cure.
Most aerial repairs in Stevenage are done in one visit, often the same day you call. Repairs start from £99, and we always tell you the price before we start. If your aerial was damaged in a storm, check your home insurance: storm damage is often covered, and we can provide a written quote for the claim.
If a repair would cost nearly as much as a new aerial, or the old one is close to the end of its life, we will say so and let you choose.
Read our guides to aerial repairs and storm-damaged aerials.
Which way should a Stevenage aerial point?
Stevenage is in Sandy Heath country. The transmitter is near Sandy in Bedfordshire, about 16 miles to the north, and it carries BBC Look East and ITV Anglia rather than London news.
We always take a meter reading at roof height first. It tells us which transmitter gives the cleanest signal and whether you need a high-gain aerial or an amplifier at all.
Wall-mounted TVs in Stevenage
Many newer Stevenage homes have plasterboard or stud walls, so we use heavy-duty cavity fixings or find the timber studs before a large TV goes up. We can hide the cables inside the wall or in neat trunking, fit a shelf for your box, and mount a soundbar to match.
It's easy to combine with a new aerial or extra TV point, saving a second visit. More on our wall mounting service.
Starlink satellite internet in Stevenage
Starlink isn't usually needed in Stevenage itself, but we install it for homes and farms in the surrounding villages.
The dish needs an open, ideally raised view of the sky. In the UK it faces roughly north, so we look for a roof, wall or pole position with nothing blocking that part of the sky. We then fix the dish on a secure roof, chimney, wall or pole mount and route the cable neatly into the house to the router.
You order the kit and plan from Starlink; we take care of the mounting, cabling and set-up.
See our Starlink installation page for more detail.
Dishes, extra points and TV mounting in Stevenage
We also handle satellite dish repairs and realignment, Freesat installs, DAB radio aerials and TV wall mounting for homes in Stevenage. We also look after shared aerial systems in flats, offices and care homes. Need security too? See our CCTV installation in Stevenage page.
Stevenage TV aerials: common questions
Where does the TV signal in Stevenage come from?
In most cases Sandy Heath. The best choice can change from one street to the next, so we confirm it with a meter reading on the day.
Do you do emergency aerial repairs in Stevenage?
We can usually reach Stevenage the same day or the next. It's roughly 12 miles from our base, and a morning call gives us the most flexibility.
Do you cover Old Town and Shephall?
Yes. As well as central Stevenage we work in Old Town, Shephall, Bedwell, Pin Green, Chells, Great Ashby, Broadwater and Symonds Green and the rest of SG1 and SG2. Nearby, we also cover Knebworth, Hitchin and Welwyn.
My aerial was damaged in a storm in Stevenage. What should I do?
We can, usually within a day. We make the aerial safe, repair or replace it, and give you paperwork for an insurance claim if you need it.
Will a loft aerial work in Stevenage?
Many Stevenage homes get a strong enough signal for a loft aerial, which avoids weather damage. If the readings in your loft are too low, we fit it outside instead.
Can you fit a Starlink dish in Stevenage?
Yes. We check for a clear view of the sky, mount the Starlink dish securely on the roof, a wall or a pole, and route the cable neatly into your Stevenage home.
