Unsuitable mounting on thatch
Fixings through thatch can create damage and leaks, so an alternative solid mounting point is needed.
Looking for dstv dish alignment in Sedgefield? A dish only needs to move a few millimetres to lose signal. After a Garden Route berg wind or winter storm, we re-align your dish with a proper signal meter and secure it so it stays put.
Most dish alignment callouts in Sedgefield come after the dish has been nudged out of position. Around Sedgefield village, Cola Beach, Myoli Beach, unsuitable mounting on thatch is a common cause. We re-peak the dish with a signal meter, tighten the mount and check the LNB so the picture holds in bad weather.

You can't bolt a dish into thatch, and poorly placed wall mounts on older homes often loosen, sag and drift off the satellite. The result is a signal that slowly fades or drops out when the wind picks up.
A safe Sedgefield installation starts with the building, not the dish. We consider thatch, timber fascia, older brickwork and vegetation before selecting a wall or pole position. The aim is a secure fixing, clear satellite view and cable route that does not compromise the roof.
Inspect. We check the dish, bracket, LNB arm and bolts for damage or rust.
Meter align. Using a signal meter, we peak the dish for maximum signal quality — not just 'good enough'.
Secure. Bolts are tightened and brackets reinforced where needed.
Test. We confirm strong, stable signal on your decoder before leaving.
