Default Cost to replace a TV aerial

In article , Grumps writes
Hi
Just wondering if anyone in the Reading area knew the approximate cost
of replacing a TV aerial. The old one has to come down (I will dispose
of it), and a new one goes up (I will supply, actually a radio antenna).
No wiring needed except poking the cable through an airbrick. And no
testing required.
I have a quote for £85+VAT. Sounds reasonable?
Ta.

I paid £40 to have a guy replace my weather station. Similar sort of job
to yours - and while he was up there he retied the loose cable to the TV
aerial and tightened up the mounting bracket. But I'm not in Reading.
However I did note that many aerial fitters seem to be operating through
national franchises which bumps up the cost. You can always tell from
the web site as they emphasise that they have local companies to do the
job. A stand alone local business just says "Here we are".
