Satellite dish installation in Aylesford

From the old village by the Medway to the estates at Larkfield and Ditton, we fit and repair satellite dishes for Freesat, Sky and international TV.

What we do with dishes in Aylesford

New dishes, repairs, Freesat, Sky and channels from abroad, all from the same Aylesford engineers.

Satellite box with its cables plugged in

Freesat in Aylesford

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 Aylesford

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 Aylesford

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 Aylesford

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 Aylesford

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 Aylesford

Aylesford’s old village is a conservation area, with narrow streets and historic buildings. We fit dishes on rear walls or in gardens, out of view from the street and the river.

Larkfield and Ditton have many semi-detached homes with good views south. Dishes there can usually go on a side or rear wall, and we often fit quad LNBs for multi-room Freesat.

Satellite dish questions from Aylesford

Satellite questions we hear in Aylesford. Anything else, just ring.

Can I have a satellite dish in Aylesford village?

Usually yes, on a rear wall or in the garden, hidden from the street.

Can I have Freesat in every room in Larkfield?

Yes. We fit a quad or octo LNB and run cables to each room.

Do you repair satellite dishes in Ditton?

Yes. We repair, realign and replace dishes across Ditton, Eccles and Larkfield.

Which way does a satellite dish point in Aylesford?

For Freesat and Sky, towards the Astra 2 satellites: a bearing of about 146°, which is south-east, tilted 25.8° 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.

Talk to a Canterbury engineer
