10 Brilliant honest service
Posted 01 December
Excellent and honest survey all problems sorted. Rad was brilliant expected to have to replace aerial, he checked everything and said I needed a small filter on splitter amplifier. No aerial upgrade required. Very honest service at a fair price . Would recommend this company wholeheartedly.Verified reviewerJob location: SL4Response from Reading Aerial Services Limited

Great service from Daniel and team at Reading Aerial Services, they put a tv on the wall along with a soundbar and speakers and did an amazing job. The entire service from the team from initial inquiry through to installation was seamless. The communications were great, they were tidy and great workmanship with the installation. We would definitely use again.Verified reviewerJob location: RG45Response from Reading Aerial Services Limited

9.33 Excellent job done by top people
Posted 12 November
All the people i interacted with (office manager, estimator & two installers) were polite, friendly and efficient. Job done swiftly and neatly with no mess left. The price i paid was actually slightly less than the estimate i'd accepted 'cos the installers found they didn't need all the kit priced into the estimate.Verified reviewerJob location: RG10Response from Reading Aerial Services Limited
