SKY install in a listed building...

[Don1]

Anyone know of a firm in Hampshire/Surrey who can do the above? Despite being told that it was grade2, the sky installer today went into 'can't do it' mode...

Cheers!

My gf's parents live in a grade two listed building and sky installed in no problems.

Sorry about being no help.

strictly speaking you cannot stick a dish on a listed building without listed building consent.

I apologise on behalf of the planning numpties.

The dish doesn't have to be high up, how about putting it on a separate pole?

You can't install a dish to a listed building, nothing stopping you having it fitted on a concrete fence post mind if line of sight is OK......

...constitutes development within the curtilage of a listed building, detrimental to the character and setting of a listed building, and so on. You really do have to be careful.

Sorry guys, to be slightly clearer... dish already up on a conservatory, and SKY are refusing to via the loft spaces or through walls... Does anyone know of anyone who will (legally)?

Then they just have to join it up.

Well they probably wont go over a conservatory.

Its only high quality coax - run it yourself.

[Don1]

SDS it myself and go from there? Well, it's simple! I think I'll have a little poke around tomorrow... Cheers all!

And when the Chairman of English Heritage comes round with a clipboard and looks quizzical, you can tell him some geezer from Sky did it

True, done that method many times myself.

I expect the reason the sky guys won't do the work is they are too bloody lazy and it's not a straight forward job. They like to be able to whack a dish on the outside wall drill a hole and run 20' of cable to your box, job done in an hour. Anything more and they lose money.

Had virgin media installed in my Grade two listed property a few moths ago. Guys had no problem with drilling through walls. Not sure if planners will be bothered but they prob wont know. There was loads of old satilite cables and ariel cables that have been left attached to the outside of house which i have taken off since replaced by the one virgin cable which enters house 1m up from floor.
