Satellite installers and dish repairs in Pulborough

Sky and Freesat dish installers and repairers in Pulborough

West Chiltington’s woods block aerials, and Freesat is often the answer. Our satellite engineers fit dishes clear of the trees.

In West Chiltington and around Storrington, woods block both aerials and dishes. Repairs often mean moving the dish clear of new growth and replacing long cables to stables and annexes.

Repairs are as big a part of our satellite work in Pulborough as new dishes. Out in the lanes, growing trees slowly block dishes that worked fine for years, and long cables take the weather. 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 Pulborough 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 Pulborough village to Storrington before choosing a spot.

Rural homes with poor aerial reception often switch to Freesat. One dish can also feed outbuildings over a long cable run. 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.
