At Everest Aerials, our goal is to make home and commercial technology services completely transparent. Because we operate strictly as a 100% mobile Service-Area Business without expensive high-street retail showrooms, we pass those structural savings directly to our clients. Our engineers operate fully equipped mobile vans stationed on local routes. This allows us to arrive promptly at your property within hours of booking, run precise digital signal diagnostics on-site, and complete complex technical installations or repairs in a single visit—combining local care with national brand security.

Pricing, Travel & Call-Out Charges

Do you charge a call-out fee or travel rate just to visit my property?

Absolutely not. Everest Aerials operates with 100% transparent pricing. Our mobile engineers provide completely free on-site consultations. We inspect your building, check signal inputs with spectrum meters, and present a firm, written quote. If you decide not to go ahead, our van leaves and you owe us nothing.

How can I be sure that your on-site quote won't change later?

Once our engineer evaluates your mounting structures or wiring paths and provides a price, that figure is completely set in stone. Even if the installation encounters unexpected structural obstacles or takes longer than anticipated, your final bill will match the quote exactly. There are never any surprise add-ons.

Booking Times & Mobile Team Dispatches

How quickly can a mobile technician reach my home or business?

We maintain excellent same-day and next-day booking availability across all covered territories because our vans are on the road daily. If you contact our regional dispatch desk before 2:00 PM, we can usually have a fully stocked service vehicle at your door on the exact same day.

Do you offer weekend booking slots or emergency storm call-outs?

Yes. Our mobile engineering teams operate seven days a week, including weekends. If high winds or a severe storm knocks your satellite dish out of alignment or leaves a dangerous roof mast loose, our priority emergency teams are deployed rapidly to make your property safe and restore connectivity.

Hardware, Vetting & Our 5-Year Guarantee

What exactly is covered under your signature 5-year guarantee?

Our 5-year workmanship warranty plan covers every single premium component we supply and install. This includes high-gain digital aerials, low-noise LNB blocks, galvanized structural wall mounts, smart alarm sensors, 4K CCTV housings, and uPVC replacement gutter joints. If a component fails or exhibits a workmanship fault within 5 years, we replace it completely free.

Can I trust the technician arriving at my property?

Your safety and peace of mind are our absolute priorities. We never use anonymous, unverified third-party contractors. Every engineer operating under the Everest Aerials banner is fully insured for high-level technical work, undergoes strict ongoing quality assessments, and holds active criminal record (DBS) clearance.

How much does TV aerial installation cost?

Standard Freeview aerial installation starts from £99. High-gain aerials for poor signal areas from £149. Communal / multi-point distribution systems from £279. We always agree a firm price before work begins — call 0800 046 7879 for a free quote.

Do you offer same-day aerial repair?

Yes. Call before 2pm on weekdays or Saturdays and in most cases we can attend the same day. Emergency repairs are available with no surcharge.

How long does aerial installation take?

Most standard aerial installations take 1–2 hours. High-gain upgrades and multi-point systems typically take 2–3 hours. We test signal on every Freeview channel before we leave.

What guarantee do you provide?

Up to a 5-year workmanship guarantee on all installations and repairs. If a fault is caused by our work within the guarantee period, we return and fix it free of charge.

Is there a call-out charge?

No. There is never a call-out charge. We agree the price with you before any work begins.

Are your engineers DBS-checked?

Yes. Every Everest Aerials engineer is fully DBS-checked and carries a photo ID card.

What areas do you cover?

We cover 128+ cities and towns across England, Wales and Scotland. Enter your postcode on our signal check page to confirm coverage in your area.

Can you install international satellite TV?

Yes. We install satellite dishes for Arabic, Indian, Turkish, Polish, African and other international channel packages using the Astra, Hotbird and regional satellites.

Do you install Starlink?

Yes. We carry out the full Starlink installation — obstruction analysis, dish mounting, cable routing and router setup. From £149.

What's the difference between Freeview and Freesat?

Freeview uses a rooftop aerial and delivers 70+ free channels via digital terrestrial TV. Freesat uses a satellite dish and offers 200+ channels including HD and 4K, with no risk of 4G/5G interference.

My TV is pixelating — what causes this?

Pixelation is caused by low signal quality, not just weak signal. Common causes include 4G/5G interference, water ingress into cables or connectors, a degraded LNB, or a misaligned dish. Our engineers use spectrum analysers to identify the exact fault on the first visit.

Do you work on weekends?

Yes. We offer Saturday and Sunday appointments. Call 0800 046 7879 or book online.
