Repairing aerials across E13

Plaistow has lots of aerials that have been on the roof for 20 or 30 years. By now the elements have corroded, the cable has cracked in the sun and the clamps are rusty. Often a full new aerial and cable costs little more than patching the old one, and lasts far longer.

Our engineers carry out TV aerial repairs in Balaam Street, Upton Park, West Ham, Prince Regent Lane and the streets around Plaistow Park every week. Plaistow is about 8 miles from the Crystal Palace transmitter, which sends Freeview to most of London, so we aim and test every repaired aerial for that distance.
