Aerial engineers for Attleborough
Attleborough is a market town in south Norfolk, beside the A11 between Norwich and Thetford, with St Mary's Church and a small historic centre. It has grown a great deal, with large new estates and more planned, while the surrounding villages and farms remain rural. We install, repair and realign TV aerials in Attleborough on older homes in the centre, the post-war and newer estates, and farmhouses and cottages in the villages.
Close to Tacolneston
Attleborough receives Freeview from the Tacolneston transmitter, carrying BBC East and ITV Anglia. The mast is only a few miles away, so most homes get a strong signal. That makes the setup more important than the aerial's power. Fitting a high-gain aerial with an amplifier that isn't needed can overload the TV, causing break-up just like a weak signal. We measure at the roof and each socket and set the levels correctly.
In many homes a smaller aerial or a loft installation works perfectly well.
Your Freeview channels in Attleborough
Because Attleborough is served by Tacolneston, a main transmitter, you should get the full Freeview line-up, including the HD channels. If some are missing, it is usually an old or poorly aligned aerial, a tired amplifier or a TV that needs retuning, rather than the signal itself.
Whatever the job, we finish by retuning every TV and recorder in the house and checking that each Freeview channel, including HD, comes in cleanly. Freeview Play catch-up also needs the TV online, so we check that while we are there. Weighing up Freeview against Freesat or Sky? See our guide to Freeview, Freesat, Sky and Freely.

New estates
On the new estates, homes often have only one or two TV points. We add more, fit the right amplifier, wall-mount TVs with the cables hidden and set up Freeview Play.
Villages and farms
In the villages, we fit aerials on farmhouses, cottages and barn conversions, often feeding annexes and holiday lets from one aerial.

Call 0800 151 2978Why have I lost Freeview channels in Attleborough?
Usually because the aerial is no longer picking up every Freeview multiplex from the Tacolneston mast south-west of Norwich. Frequencies have been reorganised over the years, so an older aerial, a waterlogged cable or a failing amplifier can lose some channels while others look fine. We test the signal at the aerial and at every socket in your Attleborough home, then tell you whether a retune, new cable, a realign or a new Freeview aerial will fix it.
Which transmitter serves Attleborough?
Attleborough is served by the Tacolneston transmitter, only a few miles to the north-east, carrying BBC East and ITV Anglia. The signal is strong.
Can you add TV points in my new-build?
Yes. We add TV and network points to bedrooms, studies and garden rooms, with the right amplifier so every set gets a clean signal.
Do you cover nearby villages?
Yes, including Great Ellingham, Besthorpe, Old Buckenham, Rocklands, Bunwell, Snetterton and Larling.
