Why IRS, not a dish on every flat

A dish per flat means every leaseholder fights for the same wall, the building gets covered in mismatched satellite dishes, and managing agents end up with planning complaints. An IRS solves it once: one professional dish and aerial on the roof, head-end amplifier, multiswitches and a tidy cable down to every flat — supporting both Freeview AND Sky/Freesat. Every leaseholder gets the choice without putting hardware on the building.

Converted houses & HMOs

Converted Victorian and 1930s houses in Surrey (Wimbledon, Sutton, Croydon, Epsom) often have 3–6 flats sharing one staircase — perfect for a single shared aerial system instead of half a dozen aerials on one chimney. We work with HMO landlords across the South London/Surrey border to bring older conversions up to modern reception standards.

Common questions

Communal Aerial & IRS Systems Surrey — the questions we get asked.

Who pays for a communal aerial system?

Usually the freeholder, the managing agent on behalf of the freeholder, or — in HMOs — the landlord. We invoice whichever party commissions the work and provide formal quotes suitable for service charge approval.

Can leaseholders still have Sky on an IRS?

Yes — that's the whole point. The IRS multiswitch supports a Sky box in every flat without each leaseholder needing their own dish on the wall. Sky bills the subscription as normal; the dish hardware is shared.

Can you upgrade an old MATV system to IRS?

Often yes — if the original cabling is sound, we add a dish, multiswitch and head-end to give satellite reception alongside the existing Freeview. Saves running new risers.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?

Yes — annual visual inspection, signal check at sample outlets, log of any deteriorating components and replacement before they fail. Priority response on contract clients.

Will you handle the access and risk assessment?

Yes — RAMS, method statements, PASMA / IPAF qualified for tower and platform work, £5m PLI as standard.
