Satellite installers and dish repairs in Leatherhead

Sky and Freesat dish installers and repairers in Leatherhead

In the Mole valley a dish often gives a steadier picture than an aerial. Our satellite engineers fit Freesat and Sky across Leatherhead, Fetcham and Bookham, and add rooms after extensions.

Large homes in Fetcham and Bookham often have a multiswitch feeding Sky or Freesat to every room, and a failed port leaves one room blank. In Leatherhead and Ashtead, we also re-fix dishes moved by extensions and roof work.

Repairs are as big a part of our satellite work in Leatherhead as new dishes. In big houses a single failed multiswitch port or LNB can knock out several rooms at once. On terraces, dishes on chimneys and back walls get knocked by roofers and scaffolders more than anywhere else. Our engineers repair Sky and Freesat dishes whoever fitted them: realigning, replacing LNBs and brackets, and fixing the cable to each room.

From Leatherhead 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 Leatherhead town to Ashtead before choosing a spot.

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