TV says “No signal” in Finchley

Every channel shows “No signal”. Most often a cable has come loose, been damaged, or let water into a connector. Less often the aerial itself has failed or come down. We test from the TV back to the aerial and fix the break.

Poor Freeview reception in Finchley

Some Freeview channels have gone after a retune, or the picture is weak on HD channels. The usual causes are an old, badly aimed or blocked aerial, or a failed amplifier. We measure every channel with a meter before changing anything.

In FinchleyFinchley is on higher ground, so most homes have a clear path to the transmitter. If you are losing channels, the aerial is usually too old or badly aimed, not the signal.

Corroded aerial cable connector on a brick wall

Pixelated or freezing picture in Finchley

The picture freezes, breaks into blocks or the sound drops out. Typical causes are a corroded joint, an aerial moving in the wind, or interference from a nearby phone mast. We find the cause and fix it, usually in one visit.

What we find on Finchley roofs

Many Finchley houses still have aerials fitted in the 1990s or earlier. They worked for analogue TV but struggle with today’s digital channels, especially the HD ones. In Edwardian houses, long cable runs to bedrooms are another weak point.

Our engineers carry out TV aerial repairs in Church End, Finchley Central, West Finchley, Ballards Lane and Regents Park Road every week. Finchley is about 13 miles from the Crystal Palace transmitter, which sends Freeview to most of London, so we aim and test every repaired aerial for that distance.

Aerial repair questions from Finchley

If yours isn't here, call or WhatsApp us. Advice is free.

Why can I get some channels but not others?

Different channels come on different frequencies. An old or damaged aerial can pick up some and miss others. We test each one.

How much does an aerial repair in Finchley cost?

From £99. Replacing a 1990s aerial that can’t pick up today’s channels costs more, and we agree it with you first.

Do you cover Church End, Finchley Central and West Finchley?

Yes. We work across N3, from Church End and Finchley Central to West Finchley, Ballards Lane and Regents Park Road.

Can you fix the TV in a purpose-built flat in Finchley?

Yes. Most purpose-built blocks in N3 share a roof aerial. We test the socket and cable in your flat first, and if the fault is in the shared part we repair it for the managing agent.

Will a new aerial bring back the HD channels?

If your old aerial is missing them, usually yes. We show you the readings before and after.

The bedroom TV in my Edwardian house has gone. Can you fix it?

Yes. Long runs to upstairs rooms often have a failed joint. We test the run and replace the damaged section.
