### Getting Rid of That Old Aerial
Moving house? That **rusty old aerial on the roof** isn't coming with you, but it can't stay there either. Taking it down yourself is dodgy (heights, loose fittings, brittle old metal), and leaving it for the buyers looks sloppy.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Removing old aerials before you move shows you've maintained the property properly - it's a small detail that makes a good impression.

### Why Not Just Leave It?
Fair question. Here's why buyers and surveyors care:
| ✅ Removed Properly | ❌ Left Behind | |---------------------|----------------| | Mounting holes sealed against rain | Water getting into roof timbers | | Clean, tidy roofline | Eyesore showing neglect | | No loose metal in storms | Health and safety hazard | | Professional handover | Potential price negotiation point |

What to Expect
### Step 1: Safe Access I set up ladders properly and check the roof is safe to work on. No cowboys here - if it's not safe, I'll tell you straight. ### Step 2: Remove Everything Aerial or dish comes down, then all the brackets and fixings. Some people try to leave the brackets - they rust and cause problems later, so they all come off. ### Step 3: Seal & Clear Every mounting hole gets filled with proper exterior mastic to keep the weather out. I take the aerial away and leave your roof looking clean.

Good to Know
> 🏠 **Moving house?** I can combine aerial removal with other moving jobs like curtain pole removal, picture hooks filling, or garden furniture disassembly. Save money doing it all in one visit. **Rental property?** Get the aerial sorted between tenants - it's one of those jobs that gets forgotten then causes problems later. **Old Exeter properties?** Those Victorian slate roofs need careful handling. I work on them all the time and know how to avoid cracking slates or disturbing ridge tiles.
Frequently Asked Questions about Aerial removal in Newton Abbot
Can you remove aerials from high roofs?
Yes - I've got ladders and work safely at height. If your roof is particularly steep or high (three storey+), I'll let you know during the quote if I need specialist access equipment.
Do you fill the holes left behind?
Absolutely. I remove all the brackets and fill the mounting holes with mastic or filler so rain can't get in. Leave it looking tidy for the next owner or ready for you to redecorate.
Will you take the aerial away?
Yes - I'll take it down and dispose of it for you unless you specifically want to keep it. Most people moving house don't want the old aerial cluttering up the new place.
How long does aerial removal take?
Most aerials come down in 30-60 minutes depending on height and how they're mounted. Quick job, minimal disruption.
Can you do this on moving day itself?
Best to book it a few days before if possible, but I can sometimes fit in moving day removals - just give me as much notice as you can so I can schedule around your completion time.
