Sky and Freesat dish installers and repairers in Gravesend
Many Gravesend families want international channels as well as UK TV. Our satellite engineers fit dual or motorised dishes alongside Sky and Freesat.
Many Gravesend families have dual or motorised dishes for international channels, and repairs are often motors that have stuck or LNBs that have failed. In Northfleet and Singlewell, we realign Sky and Freesat dishes.
Repairs are as big a part of our satellite work in Gravesend as new dishes. On older homes the usual fault is cable that has cracked where it runs along the wall, letting water in. On newer homes, dishes fitted in a hurry often work loose on thin brackets after a few winters. Our engineers repair Sky and Freesat dishes whoever fitted them: realigning, replacing LNBs and brackets, and fixing the cable to each room.
From Gravesend 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 Town centre to Meopham before choosing a spot.
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. On a terrace the back of the house nearly always has the clearer view south-east, so that is where we fix the dish.
Sky or Freesat dish stopped working in Gravesend?
Tap what your Sky or Freesat box is doing. Our Gravesend 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.
Signal went after building work
- Likely cause
- Scaffolding, roofers or a new extension moved the dish, cut the cable or blocked its view.
- What our engineer does
- Re-site or realign the dish so it clears the new building, and replace any damaged cable.

Gravesend satellite questions
Do you fit Sky and Freesat dishes in Gravesend?
Both. We fit new dishes, move old ones and add rooms across Gravesend, including Northfleet and Ebbsfleet, Riverview Park and Singlewell, Meopham, Northfleet and Meopham.
Which way does a satellite dish point in Gravesend?
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 Gravesend 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.
Will you get rid of the old dish on our wall?
Happily. Our engineers unbolt dead dishes, seal up the bracket holes so rain stays out, and clear the loose cable off the wall.
