Discreet or more complicated installations may cost more due to the additional work and materials required.  We are happy to provide you with a free no-obligation site survey and quotation.

All our installations are carried out by our own professional engineers. Sky have always encouraged bottom price installations which results in poor quality and rushed workmanship.  We refuse to reduce our prices and the quality of our work to that of our competitors and continue to set our minimum standards far higher than the less-than-adequate minimum standards set by Sky.
