Satellite installers and dish repairs in Cobham

Sky and Freesat dish installers and repairers in Cobham

Cobham’s woods are lovely to live among and awkward for TV signals. When the trees have outgrown the aerial, a dish facing south-east over the garden usually gets a clear view. Our satellite engineers fit discreet dishes on large houses, feed many rooms through a multiswitch, and move dishes when houses are extended.

Big Cobham houses usually have a multiswitch feeding Sky to several rooms, plus a garden room or annexe. When one room loses its picture, a failed multiswitch port or a cable damaged during building work is usually to blame. Around Downside, tall trees also block dishes over time.

Repairs are as big a part of our satellite work in Cobham 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 Cobham 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 Cobham village to Church Cobham 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. Out in the lanes a dish is often steadier than an aerial, and it can feed a barn, annexe or holiday let over a buried cable.
