Satellite dishes in Ashford
Ashford is a growing, international town, and we fit satellite dishes for every kind of household, from Freesat in new-builds to channels from home for families from abroad.
Established 2000. £5 million public liability insurance. Dishes fitted, moved and repaired across TN23 to TN25.

What we do with dishes in Ashford
New dishes, repairs, Freesat, Sky and channels from abroad, all from the same Ashford engineers.
Freesat in Ashford
Over 170 channels, including the main ones in HD, with no monthly bill. It uses the same satellites as Sky, so an old Sky dish can often be reused.
What we doWe check or fit the dish, connect a Freesat recorder or the Freesat tuner inside your TV, then sort the channel list and series links.
Sky dishes in Ashford
Sky Q still runs from a dish in millions of homes. Moving, replacing or adding a box all need the dish and LNB set up correctly.
What we doWe move and replace Sky dishes, fit wideband LNBs for Sky Q and run cable for extra mini boxes.
Repairs and realignment in Ashford
A dish knocked a fraction of a degree out of line, a failing LNB or a wet cable will all cause “no satellite signal” messages.
What we doWe test the dish, LNB, cable and box in turn, fix only what has failed and realign the dish on a meter.
TV from abroad in Ashford
Channels from Poland, Turkey, Romania, the Middle East and beyond come from satellites such as Hotbird, Türksat and Nilesat.
What we doWe fit a dish for the satellite you need, or one dish with two LNBs so you keep Freesat as well.
Multi-room and flats in Ashford
One dish can feed several rooms, or a whole block of flats, so the walls aren’t covered in separate dishes.
What we doWe fit quad and octo LNBs for multi-room homes, and multi-switch systems for converted houses and blocks.
Getting dish placement right in Ashford
Many of Ashford’s new estates were built with satellite cables already in the walls, running to a plate in the loft or on an outside wall. Often no dish was ever fitted. We fit the dish, connect it to the existing cables and test every room, which is much quicker than starting from scratch.
Ashford’s international station and its growth have brought families from across Europe, Asia and Africa. We fit dishes for Polish, Romanian, Nepali, Indian and African channels, using the satellite that carries each, and can combine them with Freesat on one dish.
Satellite dish questions from Ashford
Satellite questions we hear in Ashford. Anything else, just ring.
My Ashford new-build has satellite sockets but no dish. Can you fit one?
Yes. We fit the dish, connect it to the existing cables and test every socket. It is usually a quick job.
Can I get African channels in Ashford?
Some are available by satellite, often with a subscription. We can advise which satellite and package you need and fit the dish.
Do you install Freesat in Kingsnorth?
Yes. We fit Freesat dishes and boxes across Ashford, including Kingsnorth, Finberry and Repton Park.
Which way does a satellite dish point in Ashford?
For Freesat and Sky, towards the Astra 2 satellites: a bearing of about 146°, which is south-south-east, tilted 26.1° above the horizon. Anything tall in that direction, such as a tree, a gable or the house opposite, will block it, so we check the view with a meter before fixing the bracket.
Quicker with a picture
Snap the aerial or dish from the garden, or the error on the TV, and WhatsApp it to us with your postcode. An engineer looks at it and replies with the likely fix and a price.
