Information Leaflet #13
A Householder’s Planning Guide for the Installation of Antennas, including Satellite Dishes
September 2006

Choosing Suppliers and Installers

Suppliers and installers should be familiar with the planning and environmental aspects of installation.

We strongly advise you to get your antenna equipment from a reputable supplier, such as a member of the Radio, Electrical and Television Retailers’ Association (RETRA), other established companies or, where appropriate, from the broadcaster.

We also advise you to use installers who are members of the Confederation of Aerial Industries Limited (CAI) or other professionally qualified installers who follow an appropriate Code of Practice in line with this Planning Leaflet.

Reputable installers should have agreed standards for their work, in some cases guaranteed by their company; they should also be covered by public liability and employer’s liability insurance.

You should get quotes for alternative siting options and costs (such as installing at the back) before installing an antenna.
