10 Excellent work done
Posted 4 days ago
I saw Reading Aerials van outside a property near us doing some work. Out of curiosity, I went over and spoke to Dan about the problems we were having in not getting signal to watch the tv and we didn’t know whether it was the tv aerial or the satellite dish/ sky box where the problem lay. Dan was superb. He came over very soon after completing his initial job and diagnosed quickly and efficiently that our satellite dish part was broken… hence no signal. He changed the whole dish and the tv was working perfectly. Excellent job done superbly. Very happy customer. Thank you, Dan.Verified reviewerJob location: SL6Response from Reading Aerial Services Limited

10 TV Aerial and Cables Adjustment
Posted 16 July
Reading Aerial Services carried out a number of jobs at our house this morning - adjusted our TV aerial for better reception and installed it on a new chimney bracket, also removed the existing tangle of cables, installed a new cable from the aerial to our living room and removed an old satellite dish. They were prompt, efficient, courteous and knowledgeable - we are extremely happy with the work that was carried out and would not hesitate to recommend them.Verified reviewerJob location: GU47Response from Reading Aerial Services Limited
