Mcgregor Aerials

Just repaired an aerial for a customer in Garelochhead. He had previously phoned in another company to install a new aerial. The old aerial was on a swan neck pole secured to the chimney the other aerial company left the old aerial to rust on the pole not leaving enough space to fix the new aerial to a straight part of the pole. They secured the new aerial to a slanted part of the pole which meant the aerial was sitting at a slanted angle which reduced any signal the aerial r...eceived. Also, there was an unnecessary 12” cable added to the original cable I believe the reason for this was the 12” cable was already connected to this newer aerial they installed and they just couldn't be bothered to remove the 12” cable from the aerial so they just joined it onto the original cable. Now the only scenario I can think of that would fit this is that the aerial was salvaged from some other address. Which means it was second hand and was deliberately mis-sold as brand new. Also, I'm not sure if it was stupidity or deliberate but all the connections between the cables and aerial were all sealed with electrical tape which isn't waterproof and would have quickly failed due to water ingress.
I'm just stunned at the poor standard of workship that one of my competitors supplies to their customers. I'm more confident than ever that I will make a success of this new business. Once my reputation for taking pride in the neat, professional, reasonably priced work I perform for my customers spreads.

I have installed satellite dishes on high rise flats, houses, sheds, garages, static caravans and even on trees to get a signal. But never on a boat so this was definitely a first for me.

Replaced a waterlogged aerial installed on the top of this pole on their chimney resecured the pole to the chimney because the coach bolts had been pulled out from the brickwork probably during a bad storm. So the aerials on the pole are no longer waving around in the wind. And extended cable inside the house so it would now reach their TV. Been told the McHard family are delighted

Thought I would share these pics I took of the scenery while replacing a satellite wire up on a roof on a house in Gourock. It was a lovely day yesterday I was almost tempted to do some sun bathing up on the roof it was that nice of a day.

On Wednesday I fitted this 2 room aerial installation and hang a 32" TV on a bedroom wall for a property in Blantyre. Customer was very happy with the swift service and low price.

Customer phoned other aerial and satellite companies which were either too busy or couldn't be bothered to travel to him in Cove. I got there within in a few hours after being contacted by him and fitted this aerial for £75

Aerial installed with around 160 channels for £75 has made one customer very happy.🙂
