A worked example
Replacing an antenna on an accessible roof
The $250–$650 standard price covers the antenna, cable and first outlet and may not include GST. Multiple outlets, a difficult roof or distribution equipment change the scope. If only one TV loses channels, ask for a signal and cable check before assuming the roof antenna needs replacement.
What changes the cost?
Signal diagnosis
Poor reception can come from the antenna, connectors, cable, distribution equipment or tuning. Measure the signal before deciding a new antenna is the answer.
Roof and outlet access
Height, roof condition, safe access and the number of outlets change the installation. Shared apartment systems require coordination with the building contact.
Before you arrange the work
Reception and distribution
Identify which channels and outlets are affected and whether the fault is intermittent. A problem at one TV point can require a different repair from a building-wide issue.
Equipment selection
An amplifier is not automatically the fix for every reception problem. The antenna position and the quality of the existing cable route need assessment first.

Common questions
Is a replacement antenna always necessary?
No. Faulty coaxial cable, connections or splitters can cause similar symptoms. Ask for diagnosis before replacement.
Can you change an apartment building’s shared antenna?
Common-property work needs the appropriate building authorisation and access. Confirm who manages the shared system before booking.
Does the standard range include every TV outlet?
The standard price includes the first outlet. Extra points, splitters, amplifiers and difficult cable routes are listed separately in a multi-room quote.
