01
The view of the sky
Trees in full leaf, chimneys, neighbouring houses and hills can all block part of the sky. We check in the app and look at what will grow or be built over time.
We pick the position with the fewest obstructions.
Satellite broadband, properly fitted
Starlink installation in Surrey & Berkshire
Bought a Starlink kit but don’t want it sitting on the lawn? We mount the dish high on the roof, chimney, wall or a pole with a clear view of the sky, run the cable neatly into the house and set up Wi-Fi where you actually need it.

01483 789110How it works
From kit in a box to fast broadband
Step 1
Send us the details
Call or WhatsApp with your postcode, which Starlink kit you have, and a photo or two of the house and garden.
Step 2
We check the sky
Your engineer runs the obstruction check from the likely positions and agrees the best one with you.
Step 3
Mount and cable
The dish is mounted and secured, and the cable run neatly into the house, with the price agreed before we start.
Step 4
Online and tested
We connect the router, check speeds and coverage in the rooms that matter, and show you around the app.
Why fit it properly
Starlink works best with a clear view of the sky
Starlink is satellite broadband from a large network of low Earth orbit satellites. Unlike a TV dish, which points at one fixed satellite, the Starlink dish tracks satellites moving across the sky, so it needs a wide, open view rather than a single line of sight. Here in the UK, the northern part of the sky matters most.
That’s why where the dish goes makes such a difference. On the ground or a low wall, trees, the house itself and neighbouring buildings get in the way, and each obstruction causes a short drop-out. You might not notice it when browsing, but you will on a video call, an online game or a live stream.
Our engineers already spend their days on Surrey and Berkshire rooftops fitting aerials and satellite dishes. We use the Starlink app’s obstruction check to compare positions before drilling a single hole, then mount the dish where it gets the clearest sky and the shortest, tidiest cable route into the house.
Who we fit Starlink for
- Rural homes stuck on slow broadband
- Home offices and garden rooms
- Farms, stables and equestrian yards
- Businesses wanting a backup connection
- Second homes and holiday lets
Starlink services
Starlink dish installation, mounting and Wi-Fi
You buy the Starlink kit and subscription direct from Starlink or a retailer. We do the part that makes it work well: the survey, the mounting, the cabling and the Wi-Fi.
Sky view survey
We check obstructions from several spots on the roof, walls and garden using the Starlink app, then recommend the position that gives the clearest view of the sky.
Roof & chimney mounting
Dishes fixed on a pole mount, chimney bracket or ridgeline mount, high above trees and roof lines, secured for exposed and windy sites.
Wall & pole mounts
Gable-end, wall and freestanding pole mounts where a roof position isn’t suitable, including on outbuildings, barns and garden offices.
Neat cable routing
The cable clipped neatly, sealed where it enters the building and run inside to the router position, without trailing wires through an open window.
Wi-Fi around the home
The router placed for the best coverage, with mesh units or a wired connection to the home office, garden room or far end of the house.
Moves & fault-finding
Dishes moved from a temporary spot to a permanent mount, repositioned after new obstructions, or checked when drop-outs start to creep in.
Getting it right
What we check on every Starlink install
A good installation is mostly decided before any drilling starts. These are the four things we look at on every job.
02
The mounting surface
Chimneys, rendered walls, brick, timber cladding and roof tiles all need different fixings. Exposed sites need extra bracing against the wind.
We use the right bracket and fixings for the surface.
03
The cable route
The supplied cable has a set length and isn’t designed to be cut and re-terminated, so the dish position and router position have to work together.
We plan the route before the dish goes up.
04
Wi-Fi coverage
One router by the front door rarely reaches the whole house, especially with thick walls, extensions or a garden office.
We place the router and add mesh or cabling where needed.
Good to know
Starlink questions, answered honestly
Is Starlink right for my home?
If you can get full fibre to your door, it is usually the cheaper and faster choice. Starlink comes into its own where the only wired option is slow copper broadband, which is still the case in many villages and on farms across the Surrey Hills, the North Downs and rural Berkshire.
It is also popular as a backup line for home workers and small businesses who can’t afford to be offline when the local broadband goes down.
Does the dish have to go on the roof?
No, but higher is usually better. A dish on the lawn or a low bracket can work in an open field. In a garden with trees or close neighbours, lifting it above the roof line is often what turns frequent drop-outs into a steady connection. Wall and pole mounts are a good middle ground.
Can I still watch TV?
Yes. Streaming services work over Starlink like any other broadband. Many of our customers keep their TV aerial or Freesat dish for live TV too, so they have a picture even if the internet drops. We can check your aerial on the same visit.

Do you supply the Starlink kit?
No. You buy the kit and subscription direct from Starlink or an authorised retailer, so the warranty and account are in your name. We survey, mount, cable and set it up.
Which Starlink kits can you install?
We install the Starlink Standard and Mini kits for homes and businesses, using Starlink mounts or a suitable pole, wall or chimney bracket for your property.
How long does an installation take?
Most homes are done in a few hours, including the sky check, mounting, cabling and Wi-Fi set-up. Long cable runs or outbuildings can take longer.
Can you move my dish off the ground?
Yes. Many people start with the dish on the lawn or a garden table, then find trees cause drop-outs. We move it to a permanent, higher mount.
Do I need planning permission for a Starlink dish?
Usually not for a single small dish on a house, but limits apply in conservation areas, on listed buildings and on some roof positions. We’ll tell you if you should check with your council first.
Does Starlink work in bad weather?
Very heavy rain can briefly slow the connection. The dish is built to live outdoors and can warm itself to melt snow. The bigger risk in a storm is a poorly fixed mount, which is why we brace dishes properly on exposed roofs.
Can you get Starlink to my garden office?
Yes. We can run a wired connection or set up mesh Wi-Fi so your garden office, annexe or workshop gets a strong connection.
Sorting the TV at the same time?
We can check your aerial or satellite dish, or wall-mount the TV, on the same visit.
