Flats, conversions & large homes

Communal TV and IRS systems for flats and large homes.

One set of dishes and aerials on the roof, a clean TV and satellite signal in every flat. We design and install integrated reception systems for blocks, conversions and big houses across West Sussex.

IRS systems

One roof, every flat, no forest of dishes

When every flat in a block puts up its own dish and aerial, the building ends up covered in hardware and cable, and half of it gets left behind when tenants move out. An integrated reception system, or IRS, replaces all of that with one installation.

A single aerial and satellite dish sit on the roof. Their signals are combined and sent through a multiswitch to a cable run into each flat, so every resident gets Freeview and satellite from a socket on the wall, and nobody needs to go near the roof again.

We design these systems end to end: surveying the building, sizing the equipment for the number of outlets, planning the cable routes, then installing and testing every point.

Who it’s for

Buildings we work on

Anywhere more than a couple of TVs need to share one roof.

01

Blocks of flats

Purpose-built blocks where residents need TV and satellite without each of them fitting a dish.

02

Conversions

Houses split into flats, and commercial buildings turned into homes. Easiest to wire while the conversion work is under way.

03

Large homes

Big houses with TV points in lots of rooms, where a simple splitter can’t keep the signal strong enough.

04

Landlords and managing agents

We work with whoever looks after the building, quoting for new systems or taking on faults in an existing one.

Existing systems

Faults in a system that’s already there

Older communal systems can struggle as channels change and equipment ages.

01

Lost channels in some flats

Usually a failing amplifier, multiswitch or connection somewhere along the run. We trace it back to the point of failure.

02

Satellite missing for everyone

Often a fault at the dish or LNB on the roof, or a power supply that has given up.

03

Adding outlets

New flats, an extra room or a refurbished unit. We check the system has the capacity before adding to it.

04

Upgrades

Bringing an old system up to date so it carries the channels residents expect.

Getting started

What we need to quote

Every building is different, so communal systems are always quoted after a survey. We need to see the roof, where the cables can run between floors, and how many outlets the system needs to feed, both now and in future.

For a single house with lots of TVs, the same idea applies on a smaller scale, and is often part of a wider AV installation or aerial upgrade.

FAQs

Communal TV questions

An integrated reception system takes TV and satellite signals from one aerial and dish on the roof and shares them through a multiswitch to every flat, so each one gets its own feed from a wall socket.
Each flat gets its own satellite feed, so residents can plug in a satellite box without putting up a dish. Some services need specific equipment, so we check what residents want before designing the system.
Yes. We need to see the roof, the cable routes between floors and the number of outlets before we can design a system and give you a proper quote.
Yes. We survey what’s there, find the fault and tell you whether it’s worth repairing or due an upgrade.
