How Sky Installation Works

1
Consultation

Call or message Roger to discuss what you need. He'll explain the options — single room vs multi-room, dish position, cabling — and give you a clear quote.

2
Dish Installation

The satellite dish is mounted on a wall bracket, chimney lashing kit or pole mount, positioned for a clear line of sight to the satellite. We use a professional signal meter to achieve perfect alignment.

3
Setup & Testing

The Sky Q box is connected, activated and fully configured. We tune all channels, pair the remote and test everything across all connected rooms before walking you through the system.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does Sky installation cost?
A new satellite dish installation with Sky Q box setup typically costs £100–£180 depending on the dish mounting position and cable run length. Multi-room additions with Sky Q Mini boxes are priced per room. We provide a clear quote before any work starts — no hidden extras.
Can I get Sky without a satellite dish?
Yes. Sky Glass and Sky Stream work over broadband without a dish. However, for the full Sky Q experience with recording capability, a satellite dish is required. We can advise on the best option for your situation.
Where should the satellite dish go?
The dish needs a clear line of sight to the south-southeast. We find the best position on your property — typically a south-facing wall or chimney. In conservation areas or listed buildings, we can often find a discreet position that satisfies planning requirements.
Can you move an existing satellite dish?
Yes. If building work, an extension or a new tree is blocking your signal, we can relocate the dish to a better position and re-route the cabling. We also handle dish removal if you no longer need satellite TV.
What is the difference between Sky Q and Freesat?
Sky Q requires a monthly subscription and offers live TV, on-demand content, recording, and multi-room viewing. Freesat is a free-to-air service with no monthly fees — you get over 200 channels including BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 in HD. Both use a satellite dish, so switching between them is straightforward.
Do you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. We offer flexible appointments including evenings and weekends to fit around your schedule.
