Darling Buds Of May

Had an interesting job this week installing SES Satellite Broadband at the Larkin house in Bethersden, Kent.
Ma' and Pop Larkin are very happy with their new broadband internet connection, they say that it is "Perfick!"

Well, they don't actually live there of course, but there is a family that do.

The farm that was used as a backdrop for the Darling Buds of May is host to an annual classic car show, and later this year people will be able to book a holiday in the converted oast.

Check out: www.darlingbudsfarm.co.uk for more details.

As the property is grade 2 listed, the dish for the Satellite Broadband connection went on a pole and the cable was buried in a flexible conduit.

Time for a check-in.

Hello, I am still here!

It has been a very busy period since my last blog, with the winds and what would have been a very steady workload anyway.

I have had the usual TV aerial, satellite dish, telephone and satellite broadband work coupled with wind damages including a call-out to an aerial that had fallen due to the top half of a chimney collapsing! I removed the bricks that were poised ready for sliding down the tiles and hitting a conservatory roof. Then it was made water tight ready for re-building, (I didn't do that bit).

Another call-out was for a Tooway satellite broadband dish that was ripped out of a brick wall. The cause was the wind, but it didn't help that it wasn't installed correctly in the first place. It had loose elevation and azimuth securing bolts and the main wall securing bolts were drilled into to the mortar, which is the weakest point on a wall for mounting things.

Hopefully we have seen the end of the winds for a while, and business can return to normal. I am also hoping that I will have a little more time to update my blog every month. So until next time, Bye-bye.

Wind damaged TV aerials and satellite dishes.

The recent winds have not only blown fences away, but has also blown down TV aerials and shifted satellite dishes out of alignment.
I have now caught up with all of the calls that I have received to get TV pictures up and running again.

Most of the issues were poorly installed and old corroded parts like brackets or masts. Couple these with the high winds and it is a recipe for TV signal loss.

If you still have an aerial laying on the roof, pointing to the sky, or a satellite system that is blocking and freezing since the extra windy conditions, please don't hesitate to contact me here at Ashford Vision. We can even repair and realign your sky dish at nearly half the price of an out of contract Sky callout charge.

Remember, even if you are not using your TV aerial and it is laying on the roof, it could still be a health and safety issue - you don't want it to come down and hit anybody on the head!

Customer Feedback

It can be really hard to get customers to complete feedback, even if they say that they will. So it when it comes to me via an email, it is a nice surprise!

"I just wanted to say how impressed I was the other day with your customer service and politeness. I have had a myriad of tradesmen visiting my home in the last year with the rebuild and it makes a real difference, when somebody who is invited into your home is polite and offers to cover their shoes to help protect your carpets!

I will be recommending you to friends should the need arise,

With Many Thanks

Andrea"
