Satellite installers and dish repairs in Sevenoaks

Sky and Freesat dish installers and repairers in Sevenoaks

In the valleys below the Sevenoaks ridge, a dish often beats an aerial. Our satellite engineers fit Freesat and Sky, and multiroom systems in large houses.

Repairs are often multiswitches in large houses where one room has lost satellite, and trees in Seal and Riverhead that have grown into a dish’s view.

Repairs are as big a part of our satellite work in Sevenoaks as new dishes. In big houses a single failed multiswitch port or LNB can knock out several rooms at once. 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 Sevenoaks 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 Sevenoaks town to Seal and Borough Green 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. 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. Rural homes with poor aerial reception often switch to Freesat. One dish can also feed outbuildings over a long cable run.
