would charge to install a tv aerial, a dab aerial, a fm aerial and a zone 1 minidish?

Would a quote of £100 be the average or would that be too much?
 
It depends on your loaction, ease of access, where installed (wall, chimney etc), whether it is two man job and materials required (poles, brackets, length of cabling etc.), All essential info in this type of query. Assuming you are supplying aerials and dish.
 
The only thing I am lacking is a pole long enough for aerial, dab and fm aerials and cables(I have cables but they aren't long enough).
 
I think £100 is really cheap , i charge about £40 per item installed + materials + petrol if is out of my catchment area .. it also depends on how long the cable runs are and how many rooms , as that can make a big difference in price also .

I suppose the TV , DAB and FM can go on the same pole , i don't really do these ..
 
Yes , mostly satellite , the odd aerial here and there but it's a rare occasion .

each install has to be taken on merit... if you provide the chimney bracket,strapping,pole,UHF/DAB/FM aerials,zone 1 dish with quad lnb,wf100 cable,combiner,diplex plate ect. how many sat feeds? 2, how many rooms? best thing you can do is get a qualified installer to give you a quote explaining exactly what you require. there are too many variables and you get what you pay for generally like anything else. id expect to pay at least £100 for an LTE approved aerial to 1 room using wf100 if on a chimney bracket/pole. rgds
 
4 sat feeds all to the same room. I don't have a chimmey so t&k brackets and pole is probably needed.
 
You originally wanted only a Zone 1 dish installed in the other thread.

Around here there are of course plenty of installers, but you get a lot of bad in with the good, pricing is going to be less important to a bad installer who knows you have a choice to go elsewhere, and the good will often have to come close to matching the lowest common denominator pricing.
Around where you are the rarity, and I assume the distances between jobs, will mean any good installer within the catchment area will have to cover his travel costs, and any risk of having to carry duplicate equipment (just in case what you have is not up to the job), and/or return to fix anything failing under warranty will charge a higher rate .

I believe £100 is very good value if this is in writing and includes everything but the pole and cable (plus from memory T +Ks, connectors, clips, cable ties, insulation/almalgamating tape, fuel, general van and tool wear, packed lunch etc).

Bite their hand off.
 
My current tv aerial is falling apart. And I thought that if I get a tv aerial I might as well get a dab and fm aerials too and have it all done at the same time.
