Replace roof aerial and install 2 additional room sockets

The old TV aerial finally packed up and was giving a poor signal on BBC channels. I was told the engineer would arrive between 09.00-09.30 and he rang the doorbell at 09.05 which is pretty good service :-). It was a foul day with strong winds and heavy rain but he went onto the roof without any fuss. I was advised of the cost before the work was started and the final charge was exactly the same. There was no mess left and the signal I get now is perfect. I cannot fault Apollo and would highly recommend them.

Remove very old aerial, replaace with new digital aerial

I contacted Kenton to remove a very larger aerial system almost 30 years old and to replace it with a new digital aerial. He came when arranged for the initial inspection and quote. He was on time for the required work, but had to re-arrange as the nature of removal meant they needed a jib to access the very old system safely. He was again on time on the new day, through out the work he and his assistant were always very courteous and ensured that when any drilling took place suitable protection was taken to prevent dust from going everywhere. A very good job, well pleased, highly recommended.

Installation of two new TV's that included brackets and software set up

Kenton not only did what was an excellent job with the installation but also made an effort to improve my viewing experience not only for my TV but also upgraded the Xbox with some superior cabling. He was very patient with me explaining how it all worked and left me with a few notes to remind me how to work it all. All in all an excellent job done and I'm not surprised that I found out about Apollo by word of mouth. Many thanks Kenton!

A new dish and relocation was required

I contacted Apollo during the summer and every time I arranged a date, my work meant I couldn't be at home. But Apollo kept me in mind and when finally a suitable day came, they came. Very professional and with sound advice, unlike the previous installers. I can't recommend them highly enough.
