Aerials · Satellite · Multi-room · Communal systems
From one aerial in a flat to a distributed system across a whole building. Established 1997, still run by Dean, still in Morley. The call-out is free and so is the advice, including when the advice is that you do not need us. You get a price before anything starts.
What people ring about
Worse when it is windy, or on some channels and not others. Usually the aerial has moved, or a connection has worked loose and is letting water in. It is very rarely the television.
What causes break-upChannels gone, or one television working and another not. A retune costs nothing and sometimes that is the whole answer, so it is worth trying before you ring anyone.
Try this firstBlown round in a storm, come loose, or off the roof entirely. Do not go up after it. We will make it safe and tell you whether it can be refitted or needs replacing before anything is charged for.
What we do about storm damageWall mounting, an extra point, or every room in the house fed properly from one system rather than a splitter halving the signal each time.
Multi-room and extra pointsMost of Leeds and West Yorkshire is fed by the transmitter at Emley Moor, about nine miles south of Morley. Between that mast and your television there are only a handful of things that can go wrong.
The aerial, which moves. Its fixings, which corrode. The cable, which lets water in. The connections, which work loose. That is the order we check them in, and it is why the answer is so rarely a new television.
One firm for a single aerial in a flat and for a distributed system across a whole building.
01
Repairs, realignment and new installations, on the aerial and on the dish.
Most reception faults are the aerial, its fixings, or the cable where it enters the house. We find out which before anything is charged for, and you get the price before the work.

02
Free-to-air television, fitted once, with nothing to pay every month afterwards.
The live channels come down the aerial or off the dish, so they do not depend on your broadband. We fit it, connect it, and tune every set in the house in before we go. A TV Licence is a separate thing and still applies.
Freeview and Freesat03
Flat screens fitted properly, on the right fixings, with the cables out of sight.
A television on the wrong fixing is a television on the floor. We check what the wall is actually made of first, then mount to suit it and hide the cabling.
Wall mounting
04
An extra point, a whole house, or every dwelling in a building fed from one system.
A splitter halves the signal every time it divides. A distributed system amplifies first, then the level is measured at each outlet. Same principle at the scale of a block.

Free call-out · free advice · a price before anything starts
01
Not a call centre and not a booking form. You describe what the television is doing and roughly where you are, and you get an opinion on the spot about what it is likely to be.
02
So is the advice. If it turns out you do not need us, you have lost nothing, and we would rather tell you that than sell you an aerial you do not need.
03
You are not waiting in all day for a four-hour window. Customers mention this more often than they mention the signal.
04
We find the fault first, then tell you what it costs to put right. Nothing begins until you say so, and the number does not move afterwards.
05
Shoes off, cables tidied, and every set on the system tested at the screen and tuned in on the new connection before we go. Then twelve months of workmanship guarantee on the work. If something we fitted is not right, we come back.
Dean Marsden founded DM Communications Ltd in 1997 and still runs it, still from Morley. Same person on the phone, same person at the door, same number as the one on this page.
That is the whole difference between this and a booking network: there is nobody to pass you on to.
Customers rarely mention the signal. They mention being rung half an hour before we arrive, shoes coming off at the door, and every television in the house tuned in and set up before we go rather than left for them to work out. That is the part most of this trade gets wrong, and it is why the phone keeps ringing after twenty-nine years.
“Tried 4 other aerial companies before finding Dean. He was with us within 24 hours, with a call saying he was 1/2 hour away. Sorted out the problem, checked all was working and made sure I was happy. He and his colleague even took their shoes off! I have no hesitation in recommending them.”

A new build development in West Yorkshire, wired for aerial and satellite house after house. The same survey, the same testing, done at scale, for developers who come back for the next one.
Commercial & communal
Communal aerial and IRS distribution for football stadiums, hospitals, hotels, offices, schools, apartment blocks and homes. Surveyed, specified, method-statemented, tested and handed over with the signal levels recorded rather than described. A good deal of it is new build, wired a street at a time for developers who come back for the next site.
How you are charged
Any firm that gives you a fixed figure before seeing the aerial is guessing, and the number moves once they are up there. We do it the other way round.
Morley, Churwell, Gildersome, Tingley and Birstall are the home patch. Household work across Leeds and West Yorkshire, and communal systems wherever the building is.
Not on the list? Ring anyway, it is a local number and the advice is free.
