How soon can a satellite engineer come to Cheshunt?
Often within a day or two, and sometimes the same day. Our engineers work from the St Albans office.
Satellite installers in Cheshunt
New satellite dishes, dish repairs, Freesat and international channels across Cheshunt, Goffs Oak and Waltham Cross. Our engineers work from the St Albans office, and most jobs are done in one visit.
Local satellite installers in Cheshunt
Sky Q and Sky Stream installs and dish moves, plus foreign-language satellite channels, without the Sky wait.
Subscription-free satellite TV from a small dish, for homes that want more HD channels.
A dish only needs a clear view of the south-eastern sky. On Cheshunt houses that is usually a side or rear wall, so the front of the house can stay clear.
Advice over the phone or WhatsApp is free, and you get an accurate guide price before any work starts.

New satellite dishes for Cheshunt homes
From a first dish to a whole-house system, fitted neatly and tested at every box.
Sky dish installation
We fit and align the dish and LNB for Sky boxes, often sooner than a Sky engineer can come.
Freesat dishes
A dish and multi-output LNB so every Freesat box in the house gets its own feed.
Dish moves
An old dish moved off the front of a Cheshunt house to a side or rear wall, with the old holes filled.
Older houses in Old Pond
We look for a rear or side wall with a clear view so the street side stays tidy.
Newer homes in Rosedale
If the builder left cables in the loft or a media point, we connect a dish to them rather than drilling new holes.
Bedrooms and extensions
Satellite to a new room means a new cable from the dish and, if needed, a bigger LNB.
Satellite repairs for Cheshunt dishes
Most satellite faults are one part: the LNB, a cable, a connector or a dish knocked off line.
“No satellite signal”
Usually a failed LNB, a cable fault or a dish that has moved. We test each in turn and fix the one that has failed.
Picture freezing in rain
Heavy rain weakens satellite signal. A dish that is slightly off target loses the picture first, so we re-aim it.
Storm-damaged dishes
Dishes blown off line or brackets pulled out of the wall, made safe and refitted on sound brick.
Blocked line of sight
New extensions and growing trees can block the dish. We move it to where the sky is clear.
Freesat in Cheshunt
Freesat gives you free-to-air TV from satellite, with no subscription.
A backup to the aerial
Some Cheshunt homes keep Freeview in most rooms and Freesat on the main TV, so a fault on one never leaves them without a picture.
Reusing an old Sky dish
An old Sky dish is usually fine for Freesat. We test it, swap the LNB if needed and tune the box.
Record and pause
A Freesat recorder lets you pause live TV and record series, and catch-up works over your internet.
More than one TV
Each Freesat box needs its own feed, so we fit a quad or octo LNB and run a cable to each room.
TV from home for Cheshunt households
We fit dishes for channels from Europe, Turkey, the Middle East and beyond.
Motorised dishes
One dish that turns between satellites, for homes that want channels from several countries.
Hotbird, 13° east
Polish, Italian and Arabic TV, from a second dish or a second LNB on the same dish where the angle allows.
Astra, 19.2° east
Channels from Germany, France and Spain, from a dish aimed a little east of the Sky satellites.
Dual-feed dishes
Two LNBs on one dish, so Freesat and a second satellite such as Hotbird share a single dish.
Dish positions and planning rules in Cheshunt
A few rules decide where a dish can go, and we check them before we drill.
Listed and older homes in Cheshunt
Listed buildings around Cheshunt's older streets need careful work. Loft aerials and hidden dishes.
Facing the road
Inside a conservation area, a dish on a wall or roof slope that faces the road normally needs permission, so we use the side or back of the house.
Flats and leasehold
Many leases restrict dishes on the outside wall. We can connect you to a communal dish or fit one where the freeholder agrees.
A clear view south-east
Whatever the rules allow, the dish needs a clear view of the south-eastern sky. We check that before choosing the spot.

Cheshunt satellite: common questions
Quick answers before you book.
I have left Sky. Can I keep the dish for Freesat?
Usually, yes. We check the dish, LNB and cable, and replace only what is worn.
Can a dish go on the back of my Cheshunt house instead?
Yes, as long as the new spot has a clear view of the south-eastern sky. We fill the old holes too.
Can you set up Polish, Turkish or Arabic channels in Cheshunt?
Yes. We fit dishes for Hotbird, Astra 19.2°E, Turksat and others, or a motorised dish for several.
Why does my satellite picture go in heavy rain?
Heavy rain and snow cut the signal a little. A dish that is perfectly aimed copes; one that is slightly off drops out. We re-peak it.
Do I need planning permission for a dish in Cheshunt?
Usually not, but conservation areas and listed buildings have rules. We tell you before we start if your spot needs permission.
Do you charge a call-out fee in Cheshunt?
There is a call-out charge for a visit. Phone and WhatsApp advice costs nothing, and we give an accurate guide price before starting.
