in Is this quote fair?
Not knowing much about things up on the roof!! I need a new high gain digital aerial fitted on the roof of a 6 flat tenement building have had quotes of FROM £75 national company who knew nothing about area. £140 from local company who knew what he was talking about.
Does this seem fair??

    I would say so, I have just had one fitted, together with a booster box system and a small amount of cabling and it was £300:eek:

    You will not get a decent quality high gain digital aerial properly installed for 75 quid. £140 sounds reasonable to me.
