Re: Action Aerials
It's the age old problem with installers. Action along with many of the bigger installers, franchise out their work to local engineers. The ad's you see may look local, but it's worth a bit of searching to see whether the company is really local. I actually used one of these companies a while ago following several recommendations & they done a superb job. Yet I've seen on several forums from people in other areas that have had problems with this same company.
At least with this company, you called the local engineer direct and arranged a 4 hour timeslot for a visit. Action, on the other hand, have been using a central booking system for several years.
The best bet is go on a recommendation. Failing that, go for a CAI plus company that uses benchmarked equipment, offers a guarantee of at least 12 months, and is prepared to quote for the work without obligation. Get them in, is the van in good order? Is it tidy? Do they use the correct methods for securing the ladders? Go up and do a signal test with a meter & not just a fleeting glance at the roof & "oh you'll need a ##**!!! up here mate, or you will have trouble". Yes, most of these guys are rough & ready outdoor types, but ones that do the job well are invaluable.
