Starlink installation
A rural home shouldn’t mean a connection that holds you back. We install Starlink securely for homes, farms and businesses across East Anglia, run the cables neatly and get the connection to the rooms and buildings where you need it.

Out in the countryside, not out of touch
When your broadband struggles with a video call, a film or the day-to-day running of your business, Starlink can offer another way online. It connects through a network of satellites in low orbit rather than relying on a telephone line or cable to your property, so the distance to the nearest exchange or cabinet doesn't hold it back.
It's worth considering for isolated homes, farmhouses and rural businesses without a satisfactory fixed or mobile connection, from the Fens and the Breckland to the lanes of mid-Suffolk and north Essex. We focus on properties where it makes sense, not simply because the address is rural.
Already have good broadband but weak WiFi in some rooms? You may need better WiFi coverage rather than a different internet connection.
A proper installation, from roof to router
The right position
Starlink needs a clear, wide view of the sky. Trees, chimneys, neighbouring roofs and even future growth on nearby hedges all matter, so we check the view before anything is fixed. Starlink's own app has an obstruction check, and we use it alongside our own look at the site.
Secure mounting, tidy cabling
We fit the antenna on a bracket suited to the building: a roof or ridge mount, a chimney, a wall bracket or a freestanding pole in the garden or yard. The cable is run neatly into the building, sealed where it passes through the wall, and taken to a sensible spot for the router.
Connected beyond the router
A router in the corner of the house won't always reach the office, the annexe or the barn. We can add network cabling, mesh WiFi or access points so the connection is strong where you actually use it.

Who it suits
- Rural homes where fixed broadband is slow or unreliable, especially for working from home and streaming.
- Farms and equestrian yards that need a connection in offices, workshops and outbuildings, and sometimes CCTV linked to it.
- Holiday lets and glamping sites where guests expect WiFi that works.
- Rural businesses wanting a main connection, or a backup for when the fixed line drops.
Planning, listed buildings and older homes
A Starlink antenna is generally treated like other antennas for planning purposes, so most houses can have one without applying for permission, within the usual size and position limits. Conservation areas, the Broads, listed buildings and flats have extra rules about where antennas can go. Our guide to satellite dish planning rules explains the limits, and on older or thatched buildings we'll often suggest a pole mount in the garden or a fixing on an outbuilding instead of the main roof.
Talk to an engineer who understands the whole job
Our Head Technical Engineer, David Elderfield, brings more than 25 years in the industry, including Starlink installations, network cabling and access points. That means we look beyond mounting the antenna to how you'll use the connection around your property, and we can tie in CCTV or a wall-mounted TV while we're there.
Send your postcode, a short description of the building and a few photos of where the antenna could go, and we'll talk through the options and your price on the phone.

FAQ
Common questions
Free advice, no obligation. Tell us your postcode and what's wrong.
Call 0800 151 2978Is Starlink right for my property?
That depends on the broadband options at your address and whether there is a suitable mounting position with a clear view of the sky. Good full-fibre broadband may already meet your needs. We can talk through your current connection and what the installation would involve.
Can you install a Starlink kit I already have?
Yes. Tell us which kit you have and send photos of your property, and we can discuss the mounting position, cable route and any brackets or accessories needed.
Does the installation include the Starlink subscription?
No. The broadband service and subscription are provided by Starlink. Our installation price is separate, and we explain the work and any mounting or networking equipment included before you book.
Can you connect my office or outbuildings?
Yes. We also install network cabling and WiFi access points, so the connection can reach a home office, annexe, barn or workshop. The best option depends on distances and where cables can run.
Do I need planning permission for a Starlink antenna?
Most homes don't, as long as the antenna stays within the normal size and position limits for antennas. Conservation areas, listed buildings and flats have extra rules, and we'll flag anything that might need checking before we fit.
