Local to Kentish Town

## An aerial & satellite engineer who actually works in Kentish Town.

Kentish Town is almost entirely Victorian terrace, and almost all of it has been divided at some point into flats and maisonettes. That single fact drives most of the aerial work we do in NW5. There is usually one aerial serving several households, one cable route that was never designed for four separate TVs, and one roof that nobody wants to take responsibility for.

We spend as much time diagnosing as installing here. Before quoting a new aerial we check whether the existing one is actually dead, because in a lot of NW5 flats the aerial is sound and the fault is a corroded splitter, a crushed cable under a floorboard or an amplifier that quietly died three winters ago.

NW5 receives from Crystal Palace, and the ground rises sharply as you move north towards Dartmouth Park and the Heath. Streets on the higher ground often receive cleanly with a modest aerial, while properties lower down and behind taller buildings need more height or a different elevation entirely. This is a district where metering on site saves money, because the aerial the postcode needs varies street by street.

We cover Kentish Town, Dartmouth Park, Tufnell Park, Gospel Oak and the Camden Road side of NW5. Alongside aerials, the regular jobs here are TV wall mounting in narrow front rooms, cabled Wi-Fi for long thin flats, and hard-wired data points for people working from home in a converted box room.

Local problems we solve

## Why Kentish Town rooftops fail, and how we fix them.

Nearly every Kentish Town call-out comes down to one of five recurring faults in Victorian conversion stock.

### Cable, not aerial, is the fault

Old flat conversions are full of degraded coax, cheap splitters and joints hidden under floors. Replacing the aerial when the cable is the problem is a common and expensive mistake.

### Too many TVs on one feed

A single aerial split four ways without a proper distribution amplifier drops the signal below usable on every set. Correct amplification restores all of them at once.

### Loft conversions blocking the old route

Loft conversions in NW5 frequently cut the original aerial cable run. We re-route cleanly rather than surface-clipping a cable down the stairwell.

### Unsafe slate roofs on party-wall terraces

Fragile Victorian slate and shared parapets make some roofs a genuine hazard. A metered loft install is often the safer and better result.

### Wi-Fi failing along the length of the flat

Long conversions with solid walls leave the far bedroom unusable. Ceiling access points on a Cat6 backbone fix it where a mesh puck will not.

Answers for Kentish Town

## The questions Kentish Town customers ask.

Not answered? Call Larry on 07733 555269 (+447733555269), he'll give you a straight answer, even if the answer isn't a sale.

### Do I need a new aerial or just new cable?

+

In Kentish Town conversions it is very often the cable, a splitter or an amplifier rather than the aerial. We meter the signal at the aerial and at the wall plate to prove where the loss is before recommending anything.

### Can you feed several flats from one aerial?

+

Yes, with a properly specified distribution amplifier and correct cabling. Splitting a single feed without amplification is why so many NW5 flats have breaking-up pictures.

### Is a loft aerial good enough in NW5?

+

Often yes, particularly on the higher ground towards Dartmouth Park. We meter in the loft first and only recommend it when the reading supports a stable picture.

### Can you install Sky or Freesat here?

+

Yes, new dishes, relocations, LNB and cable replacement, subject to freeholder permission. Where a dish is not allowed, we will tell you what your realistic options are.

### Do you cover Tufnell Park, Dartmouth Park and Gospel Oak?

+

Yes, all of NW5 plus the neighbouring NW1 and N19 borders.

### Can you hide the cables when wall mounting a TV?

+

Yes, we chase cables into the wall or run them through the void so nothing is visible, and leave the plaster tidy.

### Do you work with landlords and managing agents?

+

Yes, we invoice properly and provide a written diagnosis for communal faults, which is what most agents need before authorising work.

### Is there a charge to come and look?

+

No. Free call-out and free quote across Kentish Town.
