Satellite installers and dish repairs in Oxted

Sky and Freesat dish installers and repairers in Oxted

The Oxted valley blocks some aerials, and a dish is a steady alternative. Our satellite engineers fit Freesat and Sky, discreetly on Limpsfield’s older homes.

In the Oxted valley a dish is a steady alternative to an aerial. Repairs often involve trees in Limpsfield growing into a dish’s view, and dishes on older homes that have worked loose on their brackets.

Repairs are as big a part of our satellite work in Oxted as new dishes. On older homes the usual fault is cable that has cracked where it runs along the wall, letting water in. 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 Oxted 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 Oxted town to Old Oxted 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. 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.
