Professional, flexible and great customer service

David installed a new aerial on our house roof, for Freeview reception; as his expertise covers home comms networks and media generally, he also gave us good advice re wiring etc. His work was what I would consider tops in terms of professionalism and customer service: he responded to my initial email within 24 hours; agreed to come and see the site for a quote, rather than estimate via pictures (as is the practice these days); on the scheduled day notified me of his arrival time; installed the new aerial so that the wiring is virtually invisible outside the house; checked that the installation was working fine; and removed two old non-functioning aerials for disposal. He also responded promptly to a further query I had via email after the work was done and paid for. His price was reasonable for the job done. I would recommend David to a friend.

Great response and excellent quality

David has completed a number of jobs for us, always very responsive, always comes up with a solution, and very good value for money. Highly recommended. On this occasion he set up our broadband system within the house to be ready for the changeover to fibre and returned after Openreach installation to ensure WiFi was working throughout the house.

Reliable and knowledgeable

David arrived on time and managed to sort out the problem with our TV aerial. He had to repair a loose connection and configure another aerial socket. We have used David many times and would not use anyone else.

Excellent work done - very highly recommended, very professional.

David did some work on our house extending some network cabling around to 2 more rooms in our house and wiring up part of our house to a TV aerial on the roof. Both of these were done as hoped for - and our expectations were exceeded. For the data cabling he listened carefully to what we were trying to achieve and his solution involved far less cables around the outside of our house than anticipated. I think this is what sets him apart - he focussed on the objective of what we were after and came up with the best way of doing it - rather than be blindsided by what I thought was the right way to do it! The cables were neatly hidden behind a drain pipe externally - and after he left we discovered in our loft the incredibly neat and tidy way cabling was tied back around the perimeter out of loft. Wiring up the TV signal required a lot more work than anticipated and again the solution required some thought - and David's solution was incredibly ingenious with no extra visible wires. Overall we'd highly recommend David English's services without hesitation.

To rectify problem arising from loss of Sky service

We had suffered a loss of our 'Sky' service following my attempt to sort out a problem with our T V. David was able to visit promptly and rectified the problem while at the same time simplifying the control of the TV. It was a fairly simple job but I am not too clever technically and he explained what he was doing and offered alternative solutions. He was always polite and easy to deal with and gave me some useful advice on reviewing Sky contracts. The price came within his minimum charge and seemed reasonable.

Great job

I contacted English Installations because I needed a TV to be hung on the wall. From the initial quote to the end of the job David was professional, courteous and knowledgeable. In my opinion he went above and beyond what was required. Initially he asked the type of questions a prospective contractor should ask for this type of work and requested photos of the area. Before the appointment I was kept informed of any changes. On the day David arrived promptly and carried out the work to a high standard and importantly, cleared up after. The initial quote was spot on and I paid no extras. I would have no hesitation using this company again.

Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow. Both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
