Sky and Freesat dish installers and repairers in Horsham
New Horsham estates often have satellite cabling but no dish. Our engineers fit and align one. In the old town we place dishes discreetly.
New Horsham estates often have satellite cabling but a dish fitted in a hurry that works loose. In the old town, discreet dishes on rear walls get knocked during building work. In Roffey, trees grow into dishes’ views.
Repairs are as big a part of our satellite work in Horsham 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 Horsham the satellites sit about 26° 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 Horsham town centre to Southwater before choosing a spot.
On older and listed buildings we keep the dish small and out of sight, on a rear wall or low on a side return, and run the cable inside rather than across the front. New builds often hide a satellite cable behind a blank plate. We find it, fit the dish and check every room it reaches. 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.
Sky or Freesat dish stopped working in Horsham?
Tap what your Sky or Freesat box is doing. Our Horsham 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.
One room has lost satellite
- Likely cause
- A damaged lead, a plug that has worked loose or a dead multiswitch port feeding that room.
- What our engineer does
- Trace the run from the dish to that room, repair the fault and test every other room too.
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.

Horsham satellite questions
Do you fit Sky and Freesat dishes in Horsham?
Both. We fit new dishes, move old ones and add rooms across Horsham, including Roffey, Broadbridge Heath, Southwater, Southwater, Roffey and Warnham.
Which way does a satellite dish point in Horsham?
Towards the south-east, about 145° 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 Horsham 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.
