Satellite installers and dish repairs in Addlestone

Sky and Freesat dish installers and repairers in Addlestone

Addlestone’s new flats were often built with an aerial point but no satellite feed. Our engineers work with managing agents to add one, so residents can have Sky or Freesat. On houses we fit new dishes and move old ones off the front during renovations.

In Addlestone’s new blocks, satellite usually comes from a shared dish, and a fault there affects every flat. In New Haw and Row Town, we often realign dishes moved by roof work, and replace LNBs that have failed after years of weather.

Repairs are as big a part of our satellite work in Addlestone as new dishes. In blocks, one failed multiswitch can take out satellite for every flat, so we repair the shared kit first. On bungalows, low dishes are the first to lose signal as hedges and trees grow up into their view. Our engineers repair Sky and Freesat dishes whoever fitted them: realigning, replacing LNBs and brackets, and fixing the cable to each room.

From Addlestone 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 Addlestone centre to Row Town before choosing a spot.

Flats rarely allow a dish per balcony, so we fit one shared dish with a multiswitch that serves every flat in the building. Bungalows have little height, so we look for the gap in the trees and hedges and fix the dish on whichever wall has the clear view. In big houses the dish usually feeds a multiswitch, so the lounge, kitchen, bedrooms and garden room can all watch something different.
