Keith was excellent - very professional throughout, clear that my money was buying a wealth of experience. Very thoroughly checked for any issues with the signal after initial tuning and worked with the existing equipment without replacing needlessly.
Much appreciated, has a well-earned spot in my contacts list now.

Keith kept us informed around when he would arrive which was great. The job was a small one but Keith still approached it in a professional and very friendly way.
Happy with the outcome and will/would definitely use him again.

What a wonderful service, I had unsightly cables from several flats after they hadn't tied into the building, so Keith a lovely man came along to look over and gave a quote which was then fixed and looks fantastic and very safe now.
Very well done and would highly recommend, he knows his stuff....

Keith came when he said he would to look at installing a tv aerial for which another company had offered a solution and quote. Keith's solution and quote was much more attractive. He returned to do the job when he said he would and completed the job and more. He checked everything very carefully and cleared up nicely after installing the aerial. He clearly has a lot of experience and practical solutions at a very reasonable cost.

Keith's communication was great from start to finish. He came out promptly to secure an old co-ax cable from an aerial on our chimney that had come loose during stormy weather. He turned up on time and neatly secured the cable. We are very pleased with his professionalism and workmanship and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Surrey Aerials to family and friends.

I needed a contractor to install an aerial. It was not the usual TV type aerial, rather it was a large aerial of the type used by amateur radio operators (Radio Ham). The installation location was also difficult, being high and with restricted access. Keith (the owner) came round and after some consideration agreed to take on the job.
Keith made a fantastic job of the installation and used 2 very strong brackets to ensure the aerial was fixed securely. I am so pleased at not only the quality of the work, but also being able to find someone prepared to take on the job. I am fairly sure that few contractors would have taken on the work, at least without using expensive cherry pickers etc.
Keith is polite and friendly and timekeeping was extremely good.
I cant recommend Keith and Surrey Ariels highly enough. An absolutely first class service.

Excellent friendly and efficient service by Keith at Surrey Aerials.
I had sudden signal loss on two televisions recently, and arranged for Surrey Aerials to take a look at the issue. Keith arrived and started diagnosing the problem. I am an ex TV Engineer and when Keith was explaining what the possible technical issues were, I understood exactly what he was saying, and it was apparent that he clearly knew his business. Keith was here less than an hour and fixed the issue, which turned out to be a signal amplifier/splitter connected at the aerial end on the roof. Keith took the time to retune and check multiple channels on both televisions.
I would definitely recommend Surrey Aerials, and they would be my first choice should i need aerial work done in the future. The cost of the work was very reasonable and the service warranted a small tip from me.

I had an outside aerial installed . I would highly recommend Surrey Aerials . Attended the job as and when agreed despite the fact we had icy weather only to explain the obvious reasons he was unable to complete the job for safety reasons. Kept in touch to arrange the next suitable day . However in the meantime obliged by tuning my tv into free view . I required an aerial as I had switched from Satellite to BT .
Friendly , obliging and value for money.
Delighted I now have my Tv apps and great reception. 10 /10 . Many thanks!

Keith was installing a dish some 2 years ago. Now I called on his service again, because the gails must have slightly moved the dish. Keith did again an excellent job. He is very thorough, friendly, explains what he does and carries out a professional job. He even didn't take any money, because he told me that his service was covered by the warranty he had given.
I can highly recommend him.

Consumer Beware.
I understand we can all have bad days but the aerial fitter’s anger management (or lack of it) was completely off the scale/disproportionate and unapologetic.
My regret is that I didn’t insist on him providing the work/quote in writing. However, in hindsight he was clearly out of his depth for this job and customer service means absolutely nothing to him.
Most of the work, taking a tv lead from the attic down through the floorboards, landing stairs and directly to the TV had already been carried out by my joiner. So, after the aerial guy had been to the house I phoned him with a simple enquiry about the aerial lead and TV power cable which he was meant to be put through the wall (which is what he said he was going to do) instead of choosing to cut and then splice the two leads together. He became rude, arrogant, agitated and at times incoherent, talking about kettle leads, John Lewis and we still haven’t a clue or see any relevance as to why he would even mention this?
Having a civil and polite conversation with him was not possible and he found it necessary to shout /scream down the phone, hang up, then several minutes later phone again for another screaming rant.
This was then followed up with him sending impolite, ill-mannered texts to my phone. Any attempt I made to deescalate his aggressive tone was met with his sarcasm and bully behaviour as his rage went from 0-100 within seconds. He was not prepared to reason or resolve anything!
He charged £120 for his work (sloppy) which I’ve paid but would have paid a lot more if it meant doing the job correctly -what I had asked him to do -which he agreed to do and said he could do. How did he get on to East Lothian’s Trusted trader?
I wouldn’t normally leave an internet review (he encouraged me to do so)-but I feel the consumer needs to be warned about his behaviour and as he was not willing to resolve the matter- he is a poor representative for surrey Aerials.
I wouldn’t use them again- unprofessional!

I strongly dispute most of what was said. I mentioned John Lewis as this was mentioned by the customer. They paid me £120 for the work I did, and didn't complain. I did the work as best as I could in the circumstances I was presented with.

Keith replaced our entire aerial assembly (which had originally been fitted by his father, over 40 years ago!). He arrived on time, tidied up afterwards, and charged us the amount he’d quoted, even though the job was more difficult and took longer than anticipated. Excellent service and great value for money. No hesitation in recommending and would definitely use him again.

Surrey Aerials installed a new aerial and amplifier on the roof, along with cables running to 3 aerial points throughout the house. The installer demonstrated knowledge of the area's geography, helping him recommend what it was that I needed. The standard of the installation is good, and I get a great picture in every room. Pricewise, he came in a whisker under his estimate. I would definitely use him again, the next time I need work like this doing.

I would have given 5/5 but I just feel I didn't get what I asked for. I simply asked for someone to come and get my aerial working again, I was delighted when the guy got it working quickly and checked all the points in the house, this was done in about half an hour. The guy was very polite and helpful and I should have just said thank you once that was done but he found lots of other jobs to do and ended up staying for two hours. I didn't know how I was being charged and it just seemed like he was doing all these other jobs to be kind. I wouldn't have minded paying for an hour even if he'd left after half that but two hours charging for work I hadn't asked for still doesn't sit right with me. I would use this company again as the work was good but I would be a lot clearer about what I didn't need done. £100 would have been fine for the work I had done, its not a huge amount but its not what I had asked for and that's why I'm not giving full marks.
