Mark
"I had my TV aerial broken off it’s chimney mounting and dangling on the roof tiles by the cable. Phoned Home Connected, he came round the next day removed the aerial completely as I watch TV through the internet and have no use for it.
He disposed of it too.
Very friendly, efficient service and at a very reasonable price.
Will definitely use again for any associated work."

TV Aerial Repairs
Repairing Aerials Damaged by Wind & Bad Weather
The exposed location of TV aerials means strong winds and severe weather can cause older equipment to become loose, misaligned or damaged. In more serious cases, an aerial can partially or completely detach from its mounting.
Home Connected can assess your aerial system, identify the damage and advise whether it can be repaired or needs replacing.
Common problems we can help with include:
-
Loose or misaligned TV aerials
-
Broken or damaged aerials
-
Damaged brackets and mounting equipment
-
Loose or damaged external cabling
-
Poor or intermittent TV reception following bad weather
-
Aerials that have partially or completely detached
-
Water-damaged or deteriorated connections
Where a repair is practical, we'll always look to resolve the existing problem rather than recommend unnecessary replacement work.
If the aerial has reached the end of its useful life or is too badly damaged to repair, we can also provide a replacement TV aerial and restore your Freeview reception.
TV Signal Problems After a Storm
Poor Reception, Pixelation or No Signal?
Storm damage isn't always immediately obvious. Your aerial may still be standing, but movement to the aerial, brackets or cabling can be enough to affect your TV reception.
If you've noticed pixelated channels, intermittent reception, missing channels or a "No Signal" message following strong winds or bad weather, we can test the system and identify where the problem is coming from.
The issue could be caused by:
-
An aerial being knocked out of alignment
-
Loose or damaged cabling
-
Water getting into external cables or connections
-
Damaged brackets or fixings
-
Deteriorated aerial equipment
-
Another reception fault unrelated to the storm
We'll diagnose the problem properly before recommending what needs to be repaired or replaced.
Contact us if your TV reception has deteriorated following bad weather and we'll help identify the cause.
Satellite Dish Repairs
Storm Damaged & Misaligned Satellite Dishes
Satellite dishes can also be affected by high winds and severe weather. Even relatively small movements can knock a dish out of alignment and affect reception, while older brackets, cabling and dishes can become damaged over time.
Home Connected can inspect the existing satellite installation and determine whether realignment, repair or replacement is the most appropriate option.
Our satellite repair service can include:
-
Satellite dish realignment
-
Damaged dish assessment
-
Replacement of damaged equipment where required
-
Checking brackets and fixings
-
Replacement cable connections
-
Removal of dishes that are beyond repair or no longer required
If your satellite dish is too badly damaged to repair and you no longer need it, we can also remove and dispose of the old satellite dish and redundant equipment.
Loose or Dangerous Aerials After High Winds
If an aerial or satellite dish has become visibly loose, partially detached or is hanging from its mounting, it's important not to attempt to remove it yourself, particularly where the equipment is at roof or chimney height.
Home Connected can assess damaged aerial and satellite equipment and determine whether it can be safely repaired or should be removed.
If the equipment is no longer required, we can remove the redundant aerial, satellite dish, brackets and associated cabling where appropriate, helping leave the property safe and tidy.
Repair or Replace? We'll Assess the Damage First
Not every storm-damaged aerial needs replacing.
In some cases, the problem may simply be a loose connection, damaged cable or aerial that needs repositioning. In others, particularly with older equipment that has become badly damaged or corroded, replacement may be the safer and more reliable option.
We'll assess the condition of the existing system and explain your options before carrying out the work.
If a replacement aerial is required, we'll recommend a suitable system for your property and local reception requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you repair a TV aerial damaged by strong winds?
Yes. We can assess aerials that have become loose, misaligned or damaged following strong winds and bad weather. Where possible, we'll repair the existing system; if replacement is necessary, we'll explain the available options.
My TV says "No Signal" after a storm. Could the aerial be damaged?
Possibly. Strong winds can move an aerial out of alignment or damage cabling and connections without the problem necessarily being obvious from the ground. We can test the system and identify the cause of the reception problem.
Can you repair a satellite dish that has moved in the wind?
Yes. Depending on the condition of the equipment, we can assess and realign the satellite dish or advise if repairs or replacement are required.
How much does it cost to repair a storm-damaged aerial?
The cost depends on the cause of the problem and whether the aerial, brackets, cabling or other equipment needs repairing or replacing. We'll assess the system and explain what is required before carrying out the work.
What happens if my aerial is beyond repair?
If the existing aerial can't reasonably be repaired, we can advise on a suitable replacement. If you no longer require the aerial, we can instead remove the redundant equipment.
Can you remove an aerial or satellite dish that has come loose?
Yes. If damaged equipment is no longer required or isn't suitable for repair, we can safely remove it along with redundant brackets or cabling where appropriate.
Should I try to remove a loose aerial myself?
We wouldn't recommend attempting to access aerial or satellite equipment at roof or chimney height yourself. If equipment has become loose or partially detached, contact us so the situation can be assessed safely.
Do you provide storm damaged aerial repairs for landlords?
Yes. We work with homeowners, landlords and property managers and can assess aerial, satellite and reception problems at residential and managed properties.
