Satellite internet

Starlink and satellite internet installation in North London

Satellite broadband only works as well as its view of the sky, and North London is full of things that block it — mature trees, tall neighbours, parapets and chimney stacks. Getting the dish in the right place is the whole job, and it is exactly the kind of survey we have done on these roofs for years.

  • Safe roof and pole mounting
  • Weatherproof cable entry

Clear sky

What the survey is really about

North & North West London

The right position first, then a proper mount

We check obstructions before anything is fixed: which part of the sky the dish needs, what the trees look like in full leaf rather than in February, and whether a ridge, gable, pole or flat-roof position gives a genuinely clear view all year round.

Then it gets mounted like a piece of permanent equipment rather than propped on the tiles. Stainless fixings into sound structure, correct clearance from the ridge, cable routed and clipped so wind cannot work at it, and a properly sealed, drip-looped entry point through the fabric of the building.

Inside, we get the router placed sensibly and, if the signal has to reach several floors, we can extend it over the same visit — access points, cabling and mesh are all part of what we do, so you do not need a second trade.

What the job includes

What a satellite internet install involves

Obstruction survey

Sky view assessed for the whole year, including tree growth and neighbouring buildings.

Mount choice

Ridge, gable, wall, pole or flat-roof mount selected for both signal and building fabric.

Height where needed

A pole or extended mast to clear a parapet, tree line or extension roof.

Sealed cable entry

Drilled, sleeved, drip-looped and sealed so nothing tracks water inside.

Tidy internal finish

Router positioned properly, cable clipped and hidden where it can be.

Coverage extension

Optional access points or cabling so the whole house benefits, not just one room.

Questions we get asked

Starlink installation — the details

Will trees stop Starlink working?

They can. Even bare branches cause dropouts, and summer foliage is worse. We survey for the position that stays clear through the year, which often means going higher.

Can it be mounted on a chimney?

Sometimes, if the stack is sound and the view is right. We assess the brickwork before considering it.

Do you supply the hardware?

Most customers buy the kit directly and we install it. We are happy to advise on which version suits your roof before you order.

Is it any good in a conservation area?

Siting matters even more there. We aim for rear elevations, flat roofs behind parapets or garden poles so nothing is visible from the street.

Can you make it reach the whole house?

Yes — that is the second half of most of these jobs. We add access points or cabling so coverage is not stuck in one room.
