Where your dish points in Tilbury
From Tilbury, the Astra satellites at 28.2° east sit to the south-east. These are the angles we set with a meter on every dish here.
- Direction

- Tilt up
- –
- LNB twist

A few degrees out and the picture drops in heavy rain. We align every dish with a meter, then lock it off.
In Tilbury that means facing 146° SE, tilted 25.6° up, with the LNB turned about 20°. Trees, chimneys and neighbouring extensions in that direction are the usual reasons a dish can't see the satellite, so we check the line of sight before we fit anything.
Satellite engineers in Tilbury
We fit and repair satellite dishes in Tilbury, Chadwell St Mary and East Tilbury, for households, landlords and managing agents.
Terraces by the river
On Tilbury's older terraces, dishes are usually fixed to the back wall or the chimney. Over the years, brackets corrode and the wind off the Thames gradually shifts the dish until the picture freezes in bad weather. We replace tired brackets and LNBs, realign with a meter and seal the connections.

Tenants and landlords
If you rent, ask your landlord before a new dish goes up; once you have permission we'll fit to their requirements. For landlords with several properties, we can check and repair dishes between tenancies.
Blocks with shared dishes
Many flats are fed from one shared dish on the roof. If your socket stops working, the fault can be in the flat, the riser or the shared equipment, and we trace it to the right place.
Satellite problems we fix in Tilbury
Rusty dish and bracket
- Likely cause
- Salt air corroding cheap steel fittings and the LNB.
- How we fix it
- Stainless fixings, a sealed LNB and weatherproof connectors.
'No satellite signal' after a storm
- Likely cause
- Wind or scaffolders have moved the dish, or a loose bracket has let it droop.
- How we fix it
- Re-secure on a rigid bracket and realign to the right bearing and elevation.
Sky Q box can't find the signal
- Likely cause
- An older LNB that isn't the wideband type Sky Q needs.
- How we fix it
- Fit the correct LNB and check every feed.
Some channels missing
- Likely cause
- A weak or noisy signal where only the strongest channels get through, often a corroded connector.
- How we fix it
- New weather-sealed connectors and cable, and a meter-checked alignment.
Flat's satellite socket is dead
- Likely cause
- A failed multiswitch or riser cable in the block's shared system.
- How we fix it
- We test the flat and the shared equipment and fix whichever has failed.
Dish in the way of solar panels or an extension
- Likely cause
- Building work where the dish is fixed.
- How we fix it
- Take it down, refit it in a clear spot and realign with a meter.

FAQ
Common questions

Call 0800 151 2978Can I fit a dish to my rented home?
You'll usually need your landlord's permission first. Once you have it, we fit to their requirements.
Why does my Sky picture break up in the rain?
Usually a slightly misaligned dish or an ageing LNB. A meter realignment and, if needed, a new LNB fixes it.
Do you cover nearby areas?
Yes, including Chadwell St Mary, East Tilbury, West Tilbury and Grays.
