Sky and Freesat dish installers and repairers in Walton-on-Thames

Walton-on-Thames has many flats and newer homes where Sky and Freesat need adding properly. Our satellite engineers fit dishes on houses in Hersham and Burwood Park, and work with managing agents to add satellite feeds to blocks near the station and the river.

Riverside blocks in Walton often have a shared dish and multiswitch, and when it fails every flat loses Sky at once. In Hersham and Oatlands, we regularly fix dishes pushed off target by wind or moved during loft conversions, and replace LNBs that have failed after years on the wall.

Repairs are as big a part of our satellite work in Walton-on-Thames as new dishes. In blocks, one failed multiswitch can take out satellite for every flat, so we repair the shared kit first. In big houses a single failed multiswitch port or LNB can knock out several rooms at once. Our engineers repair Sky and Freesat dishes whoever fitted them: realigning, replacing LNBs and brackets, and fixing the cable to each room.

From Walton-on-Thames the satellites sit about 25° above the horizon at roughly 145° on a compass. That is lower than most people expect, so a neighbour’s tree or a new loft conversion can block a dish that has been fine for years. Our engineers check the line from Walton town centre to Oatlands before choosing a spot.

In blocks we add a satellite feed to the shared system so each flat can have its own box, and agree the work with the managing agent first. In big houses the dish usually feeds a multiswitch, so the lounge, kitchen, bedrooms and garden room can all watch something different. Terraces usually take the dish on the back wall or the rear chimney, with the cable brought in once and split to the rooms that need it.

Walton-on-Thames satellite questions

Do you fit Sky and Freesat dishes in Walton-on-Thames?

Both. We fit new dishes, move old ones and add rooms across Walton-on-Thames, including Riverside, Hersham, Burwood Park and Oatlands.

Which way does a satellite dish point in Walton-on-Thames?

Towards the south-east, about 145° on a compass and tilted roughly 25° above the horizon. Anything in that line, such as a tree, a roof or a new extension, can block it, so our engineer checks the view before choosing where to fix the dish.

Can you repair a satellite dish in Walton-on-Thames that someone else fitted?

Yes. We repair Sky, Freesat and international dishes of any make, whoever put them up. Most repairs are a realign, a new LNB, a new bracket or a stretch of new cable, not a whole new dish.

Should I mend my old dish or replace it?

Usually. The dish itself rarely wears out. The LNB on the arm and the cable are what fail, and both can be replaced on their own. We only suggest a new dish if it’s rusted through or the wrong type for what you want to watch.

Where on the house does the dish go?

Wherever it has an unblocked line towards the satellites, which sit fairly low over the south-east horizon. We fix into solid brick rather than render, and tuck it round the side when the line of sight lets us.
