Aerial work isn't one-size-fits-all. A loft aerial in a strong-signal pocket of Heaton Chapel is a very different job to a chimney rebuild in Marple, with a long cable run and a roof that needs scaffolding. This guide gives you the honest ranges we quote across Stockport in 2026 — and explains what actually moves the price.
Typical Stockport aerial install ranges
- Loft aerial install — quickest, no ladders. Good option in strong-signal areas like Cheadle, Heaton Chapel and Edgeley.
- Wall-mounted external aerial — bracket fixed to the gable. Mid-range, common in Bramhall and Offerton.
- Chimney-mounted aerial — the most common new install. Lashed to the stack with stainless steel, weather-sealed cable run.
- Pole/T-bar or multi-aerial setup — for fringe reception (parts of Marple, Romiley and the Peak fringe) or where you need both Freeview and Freesat in one go.
- Communal/MATV systems — flats, HMOs and landlord blocks. Quoted per building.
What pushes the price up or down
Signal strength at your address
Most of Stockport gets a clean Winter Hill signal with a standard wideband. Move out toward the hills and you may need a higher-gain log-periodic, a masthead amplifier, or a regional aerial pointed at Saddleworth.
Roof access and height
Two-storey terraces are straightforward. Three-storey town houses, dormer roofs and tall Victorian chimneys take longer and sometimes need extra access kit.
Cable run length
Up to about 15m of WF100 satellite-grade cable is included on most quotes. Longer runs, runs going outside-to-inside through brickwork, or multiple TV points add to the price.
How many TV points you want
A single TV outlet is one price. Splitting the signal cleanly to two, three or four rooms — with a powered amplifier so picture quality holds up — is a bigger job, but cheaper than booking us back later.
