What we remove
We take on the full range of removal work — from a single redundant Sky mini-dish on a gable to a full clear-down of aerials, poles, dishes and external cabling before roofing, rendering or solar work. Send photos from a safe position on the ground for a free WhatsApp quote. We will confirm the access and agreed scope before work starts.

Where we work
Stockport is our home patch and the strongest area for short-notice availability, but we handle removal work regularly across Greater Manchester and East Cheshire — including Cheadle, Bramhall, Hazel Grove, Marple, Romiley, Heaton Chapel, Offerton, Edgeley, Poynton, Wilmslow, Alderley Edge, Hyde, Denton, Ashton-under-Lyne, Dukinfield and Stalybridge, plus South Manchester and the wider Tameside area. Timing depends on where you are and the current workload — call the office and we'll tell you honestly when we can be with you.
What happens during a removal
- Review of any photographs supplied, or a conversation about the equipment.
- On-site assessment of access, mounting condition and surrounding risks.
- Safe detachment of the aerial or dish at height.
- Removal or retention of brackets and poles as agreed with you.
- Removal of accessible redundant cabling where included in the scope.
- Sealing or making good of suitable cable entry points where part of the agreed work.
- Tidy-up of the working area and disposal of the removed equipment.
- A clear note of any roof, brickwork or access issue that would need another trade.
What can remain in place
Full removal is not always the right answer. Where a bracket is sound and might be useful in the future — for a replacement aerial or a wall-mounted satellite dish — it can often be left cleanly capped. Internal cabling frequently stays in place where pulling it out would mean lifting floors or disturbing decoration for no practical benefit. Shared or communal equipment must not be removed without the proper authority from the building owner or management company, and equipment that serves another room, property or tenant needs to be identified before anything is taken down.
Emergency aerial and dish removal
Emergency call-outs are available for loose or storm-damaged aerials and dishes, subject to availability and safe access. Call to discuss the earliest suitable appointment. Stay clear of hanging equipment and take any photos from a safe position on the ground. Moving poles, equipment striking roof tiles, falling cable or water tracking along old cabling are reasons to arrange an assessment. Planned roof or chimney work can also be a good time to remove redundant equipment.
What affects the cost
Every job is quoted in writing before any chargeable work starts. Cost varies with access, roof height and roof type, whether a tower scaffold or specialist access is needed, the condition of brackets and fixings, whether poles and brackets are also being removed, how much of the external cabling comes with it, whether holes need sealing and making good, and whether an aerial and dish are being removed on the same visit. Ask for a free quote based on your property and the work you want included; any specialist access or additional work will be explained before you agree to it.
