Douglas fitted a new aerial to my chimney and added 2 TV points into my property. He did a great job and responded at short notice. Would highly recommend.

Accessed the Trusted Trader site for the above and found D S Mackay (TV aerial installation) to be excellent. A very professional attitude and work commitment. Based in Corstorphine and came out on what was a miserable day and completed the job as required. Without being prompted, also wiped his feet every time he re-entered the house - not all workmen do this!

Would highly recommend!

I was very impressed by DS Mackay. My faulty aerial connection was correctly identified and repaired within a short period of time. I would not hesitate to recommend this company.

Review Comments
I was seeking an urgent tv repair visit to a bedbound elderly lady who's tv had stopped receiving pictures. She was very dependent on the tv as she was bed bound and had no family to assist getting the tv sorted. She was also unable to let any tradesman in and was dependent on a neighbour to let people in to her flat. This was further complicated as this neighbour had to go to work at 2pm.
I contacted Mr McKay first thing in the morning and he said he'd phone back at 10am to let me know if he could squeeze in a call prior to 2pm. This he did and indicated he would make every effort to get there before 2pm.
He got there in time to enable the neighbour to let him in and he got the picture back on. Getting the tv fixed was a god send and so important to the lady in question.
It would have been very easy for Mr McKay just to say he couldn't do it but this was a 'mercy' mission and it was very much appreciated that he went out of his way to carry out this work.

Doug renewed an outside aerial. Installed a new coaxial point. Supplied and installed a tv bracket. All cables hidden. Very tidy. Great communication and time taken to agree all the detail of the installation. Excellent service.

Required an aerial relocated. I would absolutely recommend this company. With other companies, it was difficult to get them to even quote. However DS Mackay turned up, quoted, and returned on the agreed date to complete the work. No hassle.

Had 3 TV ariels put in.
Requirements and Mr Mackay's recommendation discussed the week before and a rough estimate of cost.
The tradesmen arrived on the day as agreed .
They worked hard to complete the tasks and checked the success of their work as they went along.
Mr Mackay clearly takes pride in his work and I would thoroughly recommend him to others

We had a new aerial fitted for Freeview by Douglas Mackay today. Very happy with the work done, great advice was given and a careful and thorough job was done by Douglas. The aerial was fitted well and care was taken to route and secure the cables properly. This was run into the property with no sign of cables at all and connected up and tested as working well. Thoroughly recommended trader, fair price charged for the work done and I would recommend Douglas for any aerial or related work.

Dougie replaced our ageing TV aerial and fitted a new cable with no issues whatsoever. The work was to a high standard and the cost was very reasonable. I'd definitely use his services again.

Highly recommend. This company upgraded and moved my TV cable. All aspects of the work were clearly explained beforehand. They were punctual, polite, very tidy and did a great job. The new cable is securely fastened and very neat (you wouldn't even realise it was there). I'd have no hesitation in using this company for future work.

Douglas came to survey the job when he said he would and clearly explained all the various options for a new aerial and internal points in various rooms.
He was very knowledgeable, prompt and friendly. When I mentioned I’d like my kitchen tv on the wall he came back the next day with a bracket and fitted it. Excellent service.
We were very happy with the work carried out and would have no hesitation in using him again and recommending him to anyone needing this type of service.

We had very poor signal quality and strength so after checking reviews on Trusted Trader we gave DS Mackay a call. Very nice guy, friendly and provided a really good professional job, highly recommended and would use again.

The professionalism and personal service provided by D S Mackay is simply the best. He always goes out his way to achieve the results u want and never leaves a mess (that’s a huge plus point for me!).

Can’t recommend this company highly enough.
