TV antenna removal

[MarkRSi]

I would like to remove the antenna from the side of my house (bungalow).

There is a small problem... there's a car port underneath.



It's not possible to dismantle the carport easily, nor would I trust it to support a persons weight.

Any ideas who could do the work? Or is it going to require some sort of crane/lift...?

Roof Ladder?

I have all sorts of ladders if you need to borrow one or two.

You have around two options of getting that down.

I'm a roofer by trade and i would easily give you a hand if you need it.

I did wonder perhaps a 'top down' approach, but might be a bit risky... not sure I'd want a human shaped hole in my car port roof

Would it be a roof ladder or something more complex/safe?

You could get it from above .......or you could run scaffold boards across the supports on your car port and run a ladder off of that.

Your supports of your car port will be over engineered to take the weight of snow so you wouldn't collapse, but try to keep off the Perspex.

Don't you like watching telly then ?

Cut the pole

Leave the bracket

Partially. I don't really watch TV these days asides from Top Gear, even then it tend to miss it when it's shown first time round so just watch it on iPlayer. Could save £140-odd on the TV license fee too.

I'd want to check I can still get a signal from inside the roof before going ahead though.

Another (main) reason is birds tend to gather up on the antenna, which creates a lovely mess on the car port roof (which is why I'd want the whole thing down, bracket and all)
