Satellite dishes in Sheerness
Sheppey is flat and open, which is perfect for satellite. We fit and repair dishes across Sheerness, using fittings that stand up to the island’s wind and salt.
Established 2000. £5 million public liability insurance. Dishes fitted, moved and repaired across ME12.

What we do with dishes in Sheerness
New dishes, repairs, Freesat, Sky and channels from abroad, all from the same Sheerness engineers.
Freesat in Sheerness
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 Sheerness
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 Sheerness
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 Sheerness
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 Sheerness
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 Sheerness
Almost every home in Sheerness has a clear view of the southern sky, so dish placement is easy. The challenge is durability. Wind and salt corrode LNBs and brackets quickly, so we use sealed LNBs and stainless fixings.
In Mile Town and Blue Town, many homes are flats in converted terraces. A single dish with a multi-switch can feed every flat, which is tidier and cheaper than separate dishes.
Satellite dish questions from Sheerness
Satellite questions we hear in Sheerness. Anything else, just ring.
Why does my Sheerness dish keep failing?
Salt and wind are hard on dishes here. We replace failed LNBs and corroded parts with sealed, stainless components that last longer.
Can one dish serve all the flats in my building?
Yes. A multi-switch system lets every flat use one dish, each watching different channels.
Do you fit satellite dishes in Halfway?
Yes. We cover all of Sheppey, including Halfway, Minster and Queenborough.
Which way does a satellite dish point in Sheerness?
For Freesat and Sky, towards the Astra 2 satellites: a bearing of about 146°, which is south-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.
