aerial install cost?

Looking for a ballpark figure only...

I live in a new build property and rigged a cheap loft aerial myself for
the freeview box in the living room. It works just fine.

However, I now have a box now in the family room (using inside aerial)
and both kids are getting them for xmas for TV in their bedrooms.

What kind of sum am I looking at for an installer to do me a decent loft
aerial and all cabling etc down to 3 rooms, 2 upstairs, 1 downstairs?

Ballpark?

If your aerial works fine for freeview, why not just put distribution
amplifier in the loft? Make it one which has a lot of outputs one for
every room in the house including kitchen and loo, then you are prepared
for the inevitable demands "I want a TV in ?????" you will only have to run
a coax.

I had thought about DIY Dave, but if it is cheap enough I'll pay an expert.

How will you know it's an expert? Paying money won't ensure that!

A complex and involved vetting procedure.

Paying money won't ensure that!


But I don't expect to get an expert for free.

Why not put an aerial up on the roof?

I would have the thought the question should be "why put an aerial on
the roof?" if his loft one works OK.
