TV says “No signal” in Sydenham
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 Sydenham
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 SydenhamIf your picture breaks up and you have an amplifier in the loft or behind the TV, it may be the cause. Try unplugging it to see if anything changes, then call us.
Pixelated or freezing picture in Sydenham
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 Sydenham roofs
Sydenham is so close to Crystal Palace that old masthead amplifiers can overload a TV. The picture freezes or breaks up, even though the signal is strong. We remove the amplifier or fit an attenuator, and the picture comes back.
Our engineers carry out TV aerial repairs in Sydenham Hill, Kirkdale, Lower Sydenham, Wells Park and the streets off Sydenham Road every week. Sydenham 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.

Aerial repair questions from Sydenham
If yours isn't here, call or WhatsApp us. Advice is free.
Can too much signal really cause problems?
Yes. A strong signal plus an old amplifier can overload the TV. Removing the amplifier often fixes it.
How much does an aerial repair in Sydenham cost?
From £99. Taking out an old masthead amplifier or fitting an attenuator, the usual fixes this close to the mast, is at the lower end.
Do you work in Kirkdale, Lower Sydenham and Wells Park?
Yes. We repair aerials in Kirkdale, Lower Sydenham and around Wells Park, plus Sydenham Hill and the streets off Sydenham Road.
What is an attenuator, and do I need one?
It is a small in-line part that turns the signal down. Right under Crystal Palace, it stops TVs being overloaded, and we fit one if the meter shows the level is too high.
Can you repair the TV in my converted flat on Sydenham Hill?
Yes. We check the shared aerial on the roof and the cable to your flat, and fix whichever has failed.
Will a smaller aerial work in Sydenham?
Usually, yes. The signal here is so strong that a compact aerial is often better than a big one.
