Aerial installation cost?

We have recently bought a new home and have found that there is no tv aerial or aerial sockets in any room. The previous owner had a sky dish only and had the connecting wires fed through a hole they drilled into the outside wall. We have no desire for Sky and only use freeview. Can anyone guide us on the cost of having a new aerial put up in a two story house with a feed/sockets in 4 rooms in total (lounge and 3 bedrooms). We live in Essex so looking at London-ish prices I'd imagine. TIA

If you can find a local aerial installation company you'll probably get better prices - is there a local TV/audio shop?

Something you might not know is that you can use the Sky dish to get Freesat but you'll need the right kind of receiver - some TVs have built in Freesat receivers otherwise it means getting a box like a Humax one. When we moved last year we discovered the aerial cables had been cut as the previous owners had had Sky and the it was going to need scaffolding to sort it out. We bought a Humax Freesat box instead and use the satellite dish. We have an indoor digital aerial in one of the upstairs bedrooms and it works fine with the older freebies box we have.
