If you have landed her chances are your satellite ??????   You are in need of a satellite installation or repair, for Free-Sat, Sky HD or Sky Q.  In many cases we install satellite dishes where Sky themselves are unable to; due to health and safety issues, such as heights, drilling or entering customer’s lofts.

As we are seasoned aerial engineers we are used to climbing on roofs, lashing chimneys to provide an incredible super strong support for TV aerials & satellite dished.  Installing your dish on the chimney gives the obvious advantage of non-obstructive line of sight for a better quality signal.  In most cases being higher than surrounding buildings trees etc.

Some of the lower satellite dish installations can be obstructed by buildings, neighbor’s houses etc. which can reduce the amount of signal the dish can capture, providing a weaker signal, making pixilation possible, which we all hate and will not suffer. And if you are paying a viewing subscription even more annoying!

If you require us to install your satellite dish to your chimney stack, we will use a galvanized heavy duty chimney cradle, either a 13 inch or 8inch dependent on how many free brick courses your chimney has free.  5 brick courses for the 13inch and 4 courses for the 8inch.  Both require a lashing, kit and a cut down 1inch and a half diameter mast to fix the dish to.

If you require Free-Sat or Sky HD will supply & fit a universal quod LNB or if you have Sky Q you will need a wideband LNB.  Either choice will need a twin cable run from the dish to your receiver.
