This was a poorly fitted satellite dish installed by another company to the chimney stack.
On old properties, chimney stacks can be in very poor condition hence a better fixing is required, as a result this client lost all signals during high winds...

We were called out to rectify the situation and after removing the dish, we fitted a galvanised cradle bracket and lashing to secure lower down on the chimney. Then on a short pole we remounted the dish and beamed in for maximum signal.
We will always check the quality of the brickwork before fixing and report any findings to the client.
