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.
