TV aerial and satellite services in St Albans: Homeowners vs renters

Homeowners

You’re responsible for your home’s aerial or satellite setup, so you’re free to choose your installer. If your property is listed or in a conservation area, always check if planning permission is required. You may also need to ensure cabling is safe and meets local building regulations.

Renters

Your landlord is usually responsible for the aerial or satellite system. If you're dealing with poor reception or want to switch to satellite, speak to them first. You’ll likely need written permission before any installation can happen.

Either way, an aerial engineer in St Albans can give guidance on options for your setup.
