Local reception knowledge

Reigate: a town with its own transmitter

The North Downs shield Reigate from Crystal Palace, so the town has its own transmitter on Reigate Hill, just north of the town near the M25. It carries the full Freeview line-up with BBC London and ITV London news, and most Reigate homes take their signal from it.

Being so close to the transmitter usually means a strong signal. Problems tend to come from the hills and trees within the town itself, from ageing aerials and cables, or occasionally from an aerial still pointing at Crystal Palace when Reigate would be far better.

If the signal is very strong, an amplifier can do more harm than good, overloading the TV and causing the picture to break up. It’s one of the less obvious faults we find in Reigate, and removing or adjusting the amplifier fixes it.

Repair first

We find the fault before we quote

A new aerial isn’t always the answer. We measure the signal first and fix what’s actually wrong.

01

Picture breaking up

Usually water in the cable, a corroded connector or a misaligned aerial.

We measure signal quality, not just strength, and fix the cause.

02

No signal on the TV

The TV input, a loose lead, an amplifier or the aerial.

We trace where the fault starts: the TV, the socket or the roof.

03

Channels missing after a retune

Often the wrong transmitter, or a relay that doesn’t carry every channel.

We check which transmitter suits your address, then retune.

04

Worse in wind and rain

Loose fixings and water in the connectors.

We secure the aerial and replace damaged cable so it holds up.

Reigate & the surrounding area

Victorian streets and leafy suburbs

Reigate has Victorian and Edwardian homes around the town centre and Wray Park, family homes in Woodhatch and South Park, and larger houses on the wooded roads towards Reigate Heath and Doods. Older homes in the conservation areas may need a discreet aerial or dish position.

We cover Reigate and the surrounding area across RH2. Give us your full postcode when you call and we’ll confirm the visit.

Reigate aerial questions

Answers before you book

We’re close to the transmitter but the picture still breaks up. Why?

A signal that’s too strong can overload the TV, especially through an amplifier. We measure the signal and remove or adjust the amplifier, or fit an attenuator, to fix it.

Should my aerial point at Reigate or Crystal Palace?

In Reigate, almost always the Reigate transmitter. It’s much closer, isn’t blocked by the Downs and carries the same channels.

Do you cover Woodhatch, South Park and Leigh?

Yes, along with Reigate Heath, Wray Park and the rest of RH2.

How much will it cost?

We’ll give you a price on the phone for most jobs and confirm it before we start. No surprises on the day.

Do I still need an aerial if I switch to Freely?

Freely streams live TV over broadband, so it can work without one. Most people keep their aerial as a backup for when the internet drops. We’ll tell you honestly whether yours is worth keeping.
