Additional TV Points & Multi-Room TV in Stockport

If you've moved the sofa, set up a bedroom TV, or finished a loft conversion, you usually want a new aerial-fed socket rather than a long trailing flylead. If you want TV in three or four rooms — without one cutting out when another's recording — that's a distributed multi-room system. We do both, sized properly for your home.

Most extra points run off your existing loft or roof aerial for Freeview. If you have Sky, Freesat or a foreign-language satellite setup, we run a dedicated coax from the dish so the second box works independently. We'll talk through which is right for the room before quoting.

Splitting an aerial across multiple TVs with a basic two-way splitter usually works for a while — then channels start dropping out, the picture pixelates, and the kids' TV stops working when someone records on the main one. The fix is a powered distribution amplifier in the loft, fed from the right aerial for your area, with dedicated cable runs to each TV point. Same approach for Freesat — distributed off a quad or octo LNB so each room runs independently.

An aerial chosen for your transmitter (Winter Hill for most of Stockport, Saddleworth for parts of Marple and Romiley), a powered distribution amp in the loft, dedicated cable runs to each TV, and a flush wall plate in every room. Every outlet is signal-tested before we leave.

We route cabling through the loft, behind skirting, down stud walls or under floorboards wherever possible. For older Stockport terraces and stone-built homes in Marple where chasing isn't practical, we use slim trunking that paints over neatly. Everything's tidied, sealed and clipped before we leave.

Mid-renovation is the easiest time to do this — we can first-fix cabling before plastering, run dedicated runs to each room, and come back to fit the wall plates and test once you're decorated. For finished homes we work around what's there.

Cost depends on how many rooms, whether each point is aerial-fed or satellite-fed, how much cabling needs hiding, and whether a distribution amplifier is needed for signal strength. Most setups can be quoted over the phone once you describe what you want — give the office a ring on 0161 399 1757 for a fixed price.
