Can a TV Aerial be installed in the Loft? Surrey Aerials’ expert engineers will visit your property to assess the feasibility of installing a digital loft aerial.

The increasing frequency of loft TV aerial installations is notable, especially in new build properties where cabling for aerials is often pre-run directly into the roof or loft space.

However, the effectiveness of a loft TV aerial can vary depending on the area within Surrey, as reception quality differs from one location to another.

In regions with poor signal strength, Surrey Aerials consistently recommends the use of a High Gain aerial to ensure optimal reception.

One common question posed to us is whether loft aerials actually work. The straightforward answer is yes, but it’s important to note that Surrey Aerials always advises that installing a TV aerial on the roof typically provides the best reception quality.

The suitability of a loft for aerial installation may be affected by certain factors, such as foil lining in the roof space or the thickness of the roof in older properties. If the loft space is lined with foil, no aerial would function effectively.

 Additionally, older properties with thicker roofs may experience reduced reception quality compared to modern builds.

To achieve the best signal strength within Surrey, Surrey Aerials recommends the installation of a high gain aerial or an amplifier, especially if the loft aerial is intended to be connected to multiple televisions.
