Sky and Freesat dish installers and repairers in Egham

In Egham, student houses often want Sky or Freesat in several rooms, and our satellite engineers fit a multiswitch so each tenant has a feed. In Englefield Green, trees near the park can block aerials, and a dish is often the better choice.

In Englefield Green, tall trees near the Great Park can slowly block a dish, so we move it to a clearer spot. In student lets, satellite feeds often get damaged or disconnected, and we rewire them properly so every room works.

Repairs are as big a part of our satellite work in Egham as new dishes. On terraces, dishes on chimneys and back walls get knocked by roofers and scaffolders more than anywhere else. 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 Egham 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 Egham town to Virginia Water borders before choosing a spot.

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. In big houses the dish usually feeds a multiswitch, so the lounge, kitchen, bedrooms and garden room can all watch something different. 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.

Egham satellite questions

Do you fit Sky and Freesat dishes in Egham?

Both. We fit new dishes, move old ones and add rooms across Egham, including Egham town, Englefield Green, Egham Hythe and Virginia Water borders.

Which way does a satellite dish point in Egham?

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 Egham 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.

My box says “no satellite signal”. Is it the dish?

Often, but not always. First make sure the lead behind the box is seated properly, then switch the box off at the wall for a minute. If the message stays on every box in the house, the dish, LNB or outside cable is the likely cause. If it’s just one box, it’s usually the cable to that room.

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.
