Satellite installers and dish repairs in Ashford (Surrey)

Sky and Freesat dish installers and repairers in Ashford (Surrey)

Ashford’s semis mostly have a clear south-east view, which suits a dish. Our satellite engineers fit new dishes, move them during extensions and realign ones that have been knocked off target.

In Ashford, many dishes are on side walls of semis and bungalows, and they work loose on their brackets over time. A dish that rocks in the wind gives a picture that freezes in bad weather. We re-fix it on a solid bracket and peak it on a meter.

Repairs are as big a part of our satellite work in Ashford (Surrey) as new dishes. On terraces, dishes on chimneys and back walls get knocked by roofers and scaffolders more than anywhere else. 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 Ashford (Surrey) 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 Ashford town to Chattern Hill before choosing a spot.

On a terrace the back of the house nearly always has the clearer view south-east, so that is where we fix the dish. 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. Flats rarely allow a dish per balcony, so we fit one shared dish with a multiswitch that serves every flat in the building.
