Sky and Freesat dish installers and repairers in Bromley
Bromley’s large houses want Sky or Freesat in every room. Our satellite engineers fit a multiswitch and add satellite feeds to town-centre blocks.
Bromley’s large houses often have a multiswitch feeding every room, and repairs are often one room losing its picture. In Orpington and Hayes, trees grow into dishes’ views on bungalows.
Repairs are as big a part of our satellite work in Bromley as new dishes. In big houses a single failed multiswitch port or LNB can knock out several rooms at once. On older homes the usual fault is cable that has cracked where it runs along the wall, letting water in. Our engineers repair Sky and Freesat dishes whoever fitted them: realigning, replacing LNBs and brackets, and fixing the cable to each room.
From Bromley the satellites sit about 26° above the horizon at roughly 146° 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 Bromley town centre to Orpington before choosing a spot.
Larger houses often want satellite in five or more rooms. A wideband dish and a multiswitch in the loft keep every room independent. Period homes get a slimline dish placed where the street can’t see it, with cable routed through the loft instead of down the face of the house. 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.
Sky or Freesat dish stopped working in Bromley?
Tap what your Sky or Freesat box is doing. Our Bromley satellite engineers repair dishes, LNBs and cables of any make, whoever fitted them.
“No satellite signal” on every box
- Likely cause
- The dish has been knocked off target, the LNB on the arm has died, or rain has seeped into the outdoor cable.
- What our engineer does
- Check the signal at the dish with a meter, realign it or fit a new LNB, and reseal or replace the outside cable.
Picture freezes in rain or wind
- Likely cause
- The dish is a fraction off aim or rocking on its bracket, so bad weather tips the signal over the edge.
- What our engineer does
- Re-tighten or replace the bracket, peak the dish on a meter and weatherproof the connectors.
Only some channels missing
- Likely cause
- One LNB output or one cable has failed, or the box has lost its settings after an update.
- What our engineer does
- Test each feed from the dish, swap the faulty LNB or cable, and reset the box if needed.
Can’t record one channel while watching another
- Likely cause
- Only one of the two cables from the dish is working, or a second cable was never run.
- What our engineer does
- Find the broken feed, repair it or run a new one, and test recording on every box.

Bromley satellite questions
Do you fit Sky and Freesat dishes in Bromley?
Both. We fit new dishes, move old ones and add rooms across Bromley, including Shortlands and Hayes, Beckenham, Orpington, Beckenham, Orpington and Hayes.
Which way does a satellite dish point in Bromley?
Towards the south-east, about 146° on a compass and tilted roughly 26° 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 Bromley 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.
