Heh heh, ask for roofer under Age UK to lift an aerial off a roof
right by the guttering, both cable straps had snapped. Work breakdown
structure... place ladder against guttering, cut aerial cable, throw
aerial down into driveway, descend ladder. One quote demanding a
Cherry Picker because "H&S will not allow anyone to do it any other
way".

Lowest quote... £100.

I suspect an aerial installer would be £175-200 plus materials to
remove it AND fit a new one, far better approach!


You need to find someone old hand who can fit it in at their
convenience re turning up either between a job or having finished
something a bit sooner. That said I doubt it will be less than £420,
more likely £450 minimum. Diesel is not getting any cheaper, and most
things are going up in price including stupidity (£70 for obtainable
moron, £100 for a unobtainable competent).
