Satellite installers and dish repairs in Reigate

Sky and Freesat dish installers and repairers in Reigate

Reigate’s conservation streets need discreet dish placement, often on a rear wall or chimney. Our satellite engineers fit Sky and Freesat where the view to the south-east is clear but the street view is not spoiled.

Reigate’s older homes in the town centre need dishes kept discreet, and repairs often mean replacing cracked cable that has let water in. On Reigate Hill, wind pushes dishes off target. In South Park and Woodhatch, we often fix dishes moved during extensions.

Repairs are as big a part of our satellite work in Reigate as new dishes. On older homes the usual fault is cable that has cracked where it runs along the wall, letting water in. 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 Reigate 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 Reigate town to Reigate Heath 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. 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. In big houses the dish usually feeds a multiswitch, so the lounge, kitchen, bedrooms and garden room can all watch something different.
