Is It Right for You?

Is a Loft Aerial Right for Your Home?

A loft aerial can be a useful alternative where an external installation is undesirable, or where your property and local signal conditions make an internal roof-space aerial a viable option.

Suitability depends on factors including local signal strength, roof construction, insulation materials, aerial positioning and, where relevant, surrounding buildings or terrain. We assess your property before recommending a loft aerial.

Choosing the Right Option

Loft Aerial vs External Aerial

Loft Aerial

Equipment is protected inside the roof space and is less visible externally, which can be useful where an external installation is undesirable. Suitability still depends on your local signal conditions and how your property is built.

External Aerial

An external aerial may provide the better solution where loft signal conditions are poor or the roof structure attenuates reception. Read more about our external aerial installations.

Reception & Suitability

What Affects Loft Aerial Reception?

Loft aerial performance can vary from property to property. Common factors include:

  • Roofing materials used in your property's construction
  • Foil-backed insulation, which can reflect or block signal
  • Distance and direction to your local transmitter
  • Obstructions such as nearby buildings or trees
  • How and where the aerial is positioned within the loft
  • General local signal conditions in your area

Loft aerial installations are generally intended for terrestrial Freeview reception where appropriate. Read more about whether you need a new aerial for Freeview.

New Build Homes

Loft Aerials in New-Build Properties

Some homeowners in new-build properties may prefer aerial equipment to be fitted in the loft, depending on the property's construction, local signal suitability and installation requirements. This isn't the right approach for every new-build home, so we assess each property individually. Read more about aerial installation for new-build homes.
