Hampstead Aerials & Satellites

Independent engineers since 1997

A local aerial firm, run the old-fashioned way

We've been putting aerials on North London roofs since 1997, through the analogue switch-off, the arrival of Freeview HD and the spread of 4G interference. The tools have changed a great deal. The approach hasn't.

On these roofs

Built on repeat calls, not advertising

We started out fitting aerials around Hampstead and Belsize Park and never felt the need to spread further than we could serve properly. Most of our work still comes from people we've helped before, their neighbours, and the managing agents who look after the blocks in between.

Because we've worked the same streets for decades, we carry a working knowledge that no national firm can match: which chimney stacks won't take a lashing kit, which roads lose signal when the plane trees are in leaf, which blocks have communal systems on their last legs, and which conservation rules genuinely bite.

What we don't do is pressure selling. There is no upsell script, no "while we're here" list, and no commission on hardware. If the fix is a five-minute connector repair, that's what we'll quote for — and we would rather do that and be called again than sell you a system you didn't need.

We're insured, we work safely at height, and we stand behind what we fit with a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If something isn't right after we've left, tell us and we'll come back.

How we work

Six things we won't compromise on

The engineer who quotes is the engineer who fits

There's no sales team here. You speak to the person who will be on your roof, which means the quote reflects what the job actually needs.

We measure before we recommend

Every visit starts with a meter. It's the difference between diagnosing a fault and guessing at one, and it stops customers paying for hardware they don't need.

Small patch, on purpose

We stay within North and North West London. It keeps our response times short and means we already know the reception quirks of your street.

Tidy work, taken seriously

Dust sheets down, cables clipped straight, old ironwork taken away, floors vacuumed. It's a low bar that plenty of trades still trip over.

Honest about what isn't worth doing

If a repair will only buy you a season, we say so. If your reception can't be improved, we tell you that instead of selling an upgrade.

Reachable by WhatsApp

Send a photo of the roof and the screen and you'll usually have a sensible answer the same day — often before we've set foot on site.

Free advice, no obligation

Describe the fault. We'll tell you what it needs.
