What moves the price
- Aerial or dish — a satellite dish and a rooftop aerial differ in parts and fitting time
- Signal strength — weak-signal areas need high-gain aerials and careful alignment
- Access — tall houses and steep roofs need more equipment and time
- Extra TV points — each additional room adds cable, sockets and an amplifier
- Loft or roof — a loft aerial is quicker to fit but only works where signal is strong
- Repair or new — realigning an existing aerial costs less than a new installation
Electrical work prices in the UK are up 6% over five years (ONS Consumer Price Inflation, Services for maintenance and repair, to 2026 August). Five years ago a typical tv aerial & satellite installation would have cost about £190 — an estimate from today's guide price and that index, not a recorded price. Source: ONS MM23 D7DO →

How to pay less
- Ask whether the aerial can be realigned or repaired rather than replaced
- Fit a loft aerial if signal is strong, which avoids work at height
- Add extra TV points at the same time as the aerial to share the visit
Before you book
- Check whether a satellite dish needs planning permission, especially on listed buildings or in conservation areas
- Ask the installer to test signal strength before choosing the aerial type
- Ask how the aerial installer will work safely at height and what access equipment they use
- In flats, check the lease before fitting an aerial or dish to the building
TV Aerial & Satellite Installation cost: questions people ask
£120–£300 per install, about £200 typical. A standard aerial on an easy roof costs least; a high-gain aerial in a weak-signal area costs the most.
One to two hours for most installations, including tuning. Extra TV points or a difficult roof can add another hour or two.
Usually not for one dish on a house, but size and position limits apply, and listed buildings or conservation areas may need consent.
In strong-signal areas, often yes. In weaker areas, a rooftop aerial gives a more reliable picture.
Extra TV points, amplifiers and TV wall-mounting are separate. Ask whether the aerial and cable are included.
