Can you remove a Sky dish?

Yes, you can remove your own Sky dish if it’s not too high up or in an awkward position, and you have the tools to do so.

You’ll need a sturdy ladder and potentially some safety gear. You may also need some sealant to patch the holes left behind after removal, as this will prevent potential water ingress.

If you’re uncomfortable with heights, lack experience with handiwork, or feel at all uncomfortable, hire a professional to do the job.

It’s a small and relatively inexpensive task, so it’s not worth risking a potential injury.
