Well this rain is just about washing all of us out! It must be one of the wettest March and Aprils we can remember, and to anyone caught in the North East flooding this week in their cars, our thoughts are with you!

This weather plays havoc with so many things, many of which we can help you with.

Aerials are being battered and water can seep into the system, causing rust and bad receiving of signal. The water can also get into the cabling, which results in them cracking or splitting, and again interfering with reception. The driving rain and wind can loosen the bolts and brackets that support the aerial, which may put it out of line with where it should face, or indeed make it dangerous to the safety of people below it should it come loose and fall.

Rain can also affect satellite systems, getting into the dish, the receiver box or cabling. Again rusting, dislodging or water damage can affect your enjoyment of viewing but all these issues can be easily remedied by our team.

Any outdoor cabling can be affected, as can any kind of furniture on your roof such as cowls and caps on chimneys and caging to protect from birds. A health check when the rain clears is the best thing you can do, as from the ground damage can be hard to see, and we certainly don't want you scaling the heights we do!

Not to be the bearer of bad news but we have just checked the ten day forecast and it doesn't look like it is going to get better any time soon. We are timing our jobs to perfection to avoid the worst of it though and we are out and about ensuring the region's TV viewing isn't too badly affected, however we can.

If your picture is letting you down, or you think something needs sorting on your chimney, dish or aerial, then do give Jayne a call in the office on 0191 2524308. We will get you booked in as soon as possible.  After all with Euro 2024 and the Paris Olympic Games pending this summer, you really need to make sure your picture is tip top!
