CRT Aerials in short
CRT Aerials is a Telford aerial and satellite business working from Clover Grove, with more than thirty years behind the name and the whole of Shropshire in its patch for residential and commercial work [2]. You can book seven days a week, with evening and weekend appointments for days you cannot be home [2].
Its calling card is price clarity: the site publishes a short menu with fitted digital aerials, Freesat dish installations and extra TV points at fixed prices, plus free local surveys [1]. Google reviews give five stars from nine ratings, the only review source we hold, and the site guarantees all work [2].
Our view: CRT Aerials suits a buyer who wants the price settled before anyone visits, with long experience behind the menu. Against it: no insurance details are published and no accreditations can be sourced, which counts against an otherwise clear public record.
Our verdict
Our judgement: CRT Aerials suits you if you want a Telford installer with prices fixed before anyone visits [1]. The published menu covers the common jobs and the site guarantees all work [2]. The gaps are paperwork: no insurance details are published and no accreditations can be sourced, which count against an otherwise clear public record.

Questions about CRT Aerials
Is CRT Aerials any good?
On the evidence, yes for price-led buyers: it sits third in our Telford table with five stars from nine Google ratings and a published menu of fixed prices.

Is CRT Aerials registered with a trade scheme?

It publishes a short menu with digital aerials fitted for ninety pounds and extra TV points at forty-five pounds, Freesat dish installations on the same fixed-price menu, and free local surveys [1]. Confirm whether the figure includes VAT and any call-out fee, and get the fixed price on the quote before work starts.
