Who we work with

If you own, manage or maintain a building with more than one tenant relying on TV signal, you need a communal system that's been designed properly and is maintained by a local engineer who can be on site quickly.

  • Landlords with blocks of flats
  • Property management companies
  • Housing associations
  • Care and residential homes
  • Student accommodation providers
  • HMOs and large shared houses

IRS — one dish, every flat, Freeview + Sky + Freesat

An Integrated Reception System (IRS) brings Freeview, Sky and Freesat signals into a single distribution amplifier and feeds every flat from one head end. Tenants can use a Sky subscription, a Freesat box or just a TV — no extra dishes, no leaseholder disputes about cabling, no aerials sprouting from balconies.

What a typical communal install includes

  • Site survey and signal assessment
  • Wideband or grouped aerial head end
  • Sky-compatible satellite dish + quattro LNB
  • Multi-switch and amplifier rack
  • Tap-off plates per flat
  • Cat6 or coax distribution risers
  • Outlet plates in living rooms / bedrooms
  • Full channel test and certification

We commission the system, label the cabinet, and provide a single point of contact for reactive call-outs.

Reactive repairs & maintenance contracts

Most existing communal systems we get called out to have a knackered amplifier, a failed PSU, water ingress at the head end or one floor with no signal because a tap-off has died. We diagnose the actual fault, give you a clear quote, and can put the building on a regular maintenance check so issues are caught before tenants ring.

Landlord & HMO packages

If you let a single HMO or a portfolio of rentals across Stockport, the goal is simple: tenants should never call you about TV signal. We offer a landlord package that covers the initial install or upgrade, a documented system with cabinet labelling, a single point of contact for the property, and discounted reactive call-outs paid by the landlord directly so the tenant just rings us. Suits HMOs, student accommodation, large shared houses, and small portfolios of flats.

  • One contact number for all your properties
  • Discounted reactive call-out rates
  • Direct billing — tenant never pays at the door
  • Annual inspection on systems over 8 outlets
  • Compliant with most letting-agent maintenance specs

What affects the cost

Every job is a fixed price agreed before we start — no callout charge, no surprise add-ons. Cost depends on the scope of work, the parts needed, access (loft, ladder or scaffold), and how long the cabling needs to be. Most quotes can be given honestly over the phone — ring the office on 0161 399 1757 or send a WhatsApp and we'll come back to you the same day.

Common questions

MATV (Master Antenna TV) distributes Freeview only from a single aerial. IRS (Integrated Reception System) adds Sky and Freesat satellite into the same distribution, so every flat can use any of the three with one set of cabling.
