Aerial engineers for Thorpe St Andrew
Thorpe St Andrew sits on a hillside above the River Yare just east of Norwich, with large Georgian and Victorian houses along the Yarmouth Road, riverside homes, inter-war and post-war family houses, and newer developments near Broadland Business Park and Thorpe End. We install, repair and realign TV aerials in Thorpe St Andrew across the area.
Freeview from Tacolneston
Thorpe St Andrew receives Freeview from the Tacolneston transmitter south-west of Norwich, carrying BBC East and ITV Anglia. Most homes get a strong signal, but the slope down to the river and the woodland on the hillside mean some homes, especially those set among trees, are shadowed. Where trees are to blame, the picture often gets worse in summer.
We measure the signal at your roof and set up the aerial, raising it or moving it to a clearer spot if needed.

Larger homes and multi-room
Many homes here have TVs in several rooms, plus home offices, garden rooms and annexes. We design multi-room systems with the right distribution amplifier and good cable to every room, often combining aerial, satellite and network cabling behind wall-mounted TVs.
Riverside and period homes
On older houses by the river, damp is hard on cables and connectors, so we use sealed connectors and double-screened cable, and lighter brackets on older chimneys.

FAQ
Common questions
Free advice, no obligation. Tell us your postcode and what's wrong.
Call 0800 151 2978Why have I lost Freeview channels in Thorpe St Andrew?
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 Thorpe St Andrew home, then tell you whether a retune, new cable, a realign or a new Freeview aerial will fix it.
Which transmitter serves Thorpe St Andrew?
Thorpe St Andrew is served by the Tacolneston transmitter south-west of Norwich, carrying BBC East and ITV Anglia. Most homes get a strong signal, though the hillside and trees can shadow some.

Yes. We fit distribution amplifiers and neat cabling so every room gets a strong signal, and can add satellite and network feeds too.

Yes, including Thorpe End, Postwick, Brundall, Great Plumstead, Sprowston and Norwich.
