TV says “No signal” in Forest Hill
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 Forest Hill
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.

Our engineers carry out TV aerial repairs in Honor Oak, Perry Vale, Dartmouth Road, the roads by the Horniman and Forest Hill station every week. Forest Hill is about a mile from the Crystal Palace transmitter, which sends Freeview to most of London, so we aim and test every repaired aerial for that distance.

Questions about aerial repairs in Forest Hill
If yours isn't here, call or WhatsApp us. Advice is free.
Should I remove my amplifier?
Possibly. Forest Hill is close to Crystal Palace and the signal is often strong enough without one. An old amplifier can overload the TV, so we test with and without it.
How much does an aerial repair in Forest Hill cost?
From £99. Removing an old amplifier that is overloading the TV is usually at the lower end.
Do you work in Honor Oak, Perry Vale and around the Horniman?
Yes. We repair aerials in Honor Oak, Perry Vale and the roads around the Horniman, plus Dartmouth Road and the streets by Forest Hill station.
Can you repair aerials on hillside Victorian houses?
Yes. Hillside Victorian houses catch the wind more than most, so we use stronger brackets and lashing to stop the aerial twisting again.
Can you fix the shared aerial in my converted Forest Hill house?
Yes. We swap failing splitters for a proper system, so each flat gets a clean signal.
My Perry Vale TV picture freezes. Is it the amplifier?
It may be. This close to the mast, an amplifier often makes things worse. We test with and without it.
