Building Regulations for Antenna Installation
Are you planning to install a satellite dish, a TV aerial, or a radio antenna on your property? You might be wondering about the official rules. Generally speaking, the UK Building Regulations do not cover these types of installations. However, even though specific regulations may not directly apply, it is absolutely essential that you take full responsibility for the safety of your new antenna. You must personally ensure that the entire setup is secure, and that the point where you attach it to your building is robust, stable, and completely safe.
