Satellite installers and dish repairs in Sunbury-on-Thames

Sky and Freesat dish installers and repairers in Sunbury-on-Thames

Sunbury’s family homes often want Sky or Freesat in more rooms after extensions. Our satellite engineers add cables and a multiswitch, and move dishes off rendered walls.

In Sunbury flats, satellite problems are usually in the shared system, a failed multiswitch or LNB. On terraces around Sunbury Common, dishes get knocked off target by roofers and scaffolders. We realign them and replace damaged cable.

Repairs are as big a part of our satellite work in Sunbury-on-Thames 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 Sunbury-on-Thames the satellites sit about 25° 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 Lower Sunbury to Charlton Village 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. On a terrace the back of the house nearly always has the clearer view south-east, so that is where we fix the dish. In blocks we add a satellite feed to the shared system so each flat can have its own box, and agree the work with the managing agent first.
