How to judge a TV aerial / satellite installer
Independent, no-ads guidance. The trade-specific checks that matter most, the warning signs, and what to ask before you hire. Use it alongside each trader’s public evidence above.
Verify before you hire
- Check they are a CAI (Confederation of Aerial Industries) member: the UK's only trade body for aerial and satellite installers, requiring insurance and a 1-year guarantee on all work.
- Look for CAI Plus status, which means the installer is also DBS-checked and holds a working-at-height certificate: important for anyone on your roof.
- Confirm they carry public liability insurance; without it, you have no practical recourse if they damage your roof, guttering, or a parked car.
- If you live in a conservation area or a listed building, check the installer will advise on whether planning permission is needed before fitting a dish or aerial.
Warning signs of a cowboy
- A cold-knock on your door claiming your existing aerial is 'unsafe' or 'out of date' with no appointment: this is the most common aerial scam in the UK.
- A quote that only covers the aerial itself, with extras for cable runs, signal amplifiers, or multi-room splits only revealed once work has started.
- No mention of CAI membership, no proof of insurance, and no written guarantee: this trade has zero statutory licensing, so anyone can show up in a van.
- Pressure to decide on the spot or pay fully in cash before any work begins.
Questions to ask before you hire
- Are you a CAI member, and can I verify that on getmeviewing.org.uk before you start?
- Does your quote cover everything: cable, fittings and a signal amplifier if needed? Or will extras be added on the day?
- What is your guarantee, and is it in writing?
- I live in a conservation area: will you check whether I need planning permission before fitting the dish?
Frequently asked questions
- How do I choose a trustworthy tv aerial / satellite installer?
- Compare the public evidence on each profile: how many independent reviews they have and across how many named sources, the rating and how recent it is, any credential evidence, and the company status. A tv aerial / satellite installer backed by several named sources is harder to fake than one found in only one place.
- Does MyTrustedTraders rank or recommend tv aerial / satellite installers for payment?
- No. There are no ads and no paid placement. TV aerial / satellite installers are ranked only by the strength of independent public evidence. No one can pay to rank higher, add a badge, or change their reviews.
- Where do the reviews come from?
- They're imported from named public review sources and always shown with the source named. They aren't reviews written on MyTrustedTraders. We cross-check the same business across sources rather than creating new reviews.
- What should I check before hiring a tv aerial / satellite installer?
- Confirm credentials and insurance directly with the tv aerial / satellite installer, get a written quote, and run the Cowboy Checker on the business first. MyTrustedTraders helps you shortlist on the evidence. It doesn't replace your own checks before you hire.
