Cable inlet for roof

[eyup]

Hi all,

I have a satellite (sky/freesat) and an aerial lashed to the chimney pillar and am now considering best way to bring nine cables down in through the tiled roof. I dont like the cables running externally down past the guttering and then up through the soffits and with nine cables it will likely look even worse. I understand I could go the loft box route but this isnt on the cards yet.

What are peoples thoughts regarding nine WF100 (will have to check, its decent stuff I made sure but cannot be sure of name), simply by lift a tile slightly? Personally I though nine cables was too many. Therefore, I was thinking along the lines of this?



Am I making too much work for myself? Any better options?

I may just pop the cable out below the pipe and run them through the felt laps or run the pipe though the felt laps to make it easier.

I have had a quick search but just want to make sure!

Thank you

Go talk to your local roofing materials suppliers. There's vent tiles and similar products that would be a simpler fit, look better and probably preserve the roof integrity to a higher standard too.

depending on your tile profile I would have thought that something like this may be easier/neater.

I would also be worried with all those cables rubbing on the tile surface.
