Satellite installers and dish repairs in Gillingham

Sky and Freesat dish installers and repairers in Gillingham

Gillingham’s terraces often want Sky or Freesat. Our satellite engineers fit dishes on rear walls and connect every room.

Gillingham’s terraces often have dishes on rear walls that work loose over time. Repairs are often realigning them and replacing damp-damaged cable near the river.

Repairs are as big a part of our satellite work in Gillingham as new dishes. On terraces, dishes on chimneys and back walls get knocked by roofers and scaffolders more than anywhere else. 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 Gillingham 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 Gillingham town to Hempstead and Wigmore 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. 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. Many newer homes were built with satellite cable already in the walls but no dish. We fit and align one and test each wall plate.
