Company info
For 40+ years, Dan Ford and his team have been installing TV and radio aerials and satellite systems, including Sky, Sky Q, Freesat and dishes for international channels.
Dan's father, Roger, started the business in 1975 from his mother's home in Whitley. In 1985 he bought a shop on the Wokingham Road and ran the business from there, whilst offering DIY and technical advice from the shopfront. Dan took over the business in 1995 and recently (2015) moved their office to Headley Road in Woodley.
In addition to aerial installations, their most popular services include:
· Mounting TVs on the wall and hiding the connecting cables
· Installation of high-quality CCTV systems with remote viewing from anywhere in the world
· Installation of home ethernet networks and WiFi signal improvement
Their office is situated at the rear of Addstyle UK and is open to anyone wishing to purchase DIY products, book a home visit or enquire for technical advice.
They are members of the Confederation of Aerial Industries (CAI). In addition, Dan has a distinction in Satellite Master Antenna Television (SMATV), which is the highest recognised award in the industry.

Excellent service all round.
Faulty transponder had to be replaced
2nd time I have used Reading Aerial Services and would highly recommend them. Prompt service and great Customer service. Will be using them again.
Changed old aerial pole for one more suitable
Rad couldn’t be more polite and helpful. He explained what was needed to be done, completed the job to a high standard and left no mess. I would thoroughly recommend the company.
Fitting an additional TV.
Wanted an additional TV set up in a bedroom. Very efficient and tidy job carried out by Reading Aerial Services. The engineer was Rad.
