Satellite installers and dish repairs in Rochester

Sky and Freesat dish installers and repairers in Rochester

Rochester’s historic High Street needs discreet dishes. Our satellite engineers fit them on rear walls and add satellite to new homes on the Hoo peninsula.

Rochester’s historic High Street needs discreet dishes, and repairs often involve cracked cable. On the Hoo peninsula, wind off the estuary pushes dishes off target.

Repairs are as big a part of our satellite work in Rochester 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 Rochester the satellites sit about 26° above the horizon at roughly 146° 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 Rochester High Street to Hoo peninsula 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. New builds often hide a satellite cable behind a blank plate. We find it, fit the dish and check every room it reaches.
