  • Your business needs a failover link in case the main broadband goes down
  • You've bought a Starlink kit but the supplied mounting kit won't work for your roof or property

  4. STEP 04

    Install

    Half‑day to full‑day, depending on access and cable run. Dish, cabling, indoor configuration, integration.

  5. STEP 05

    Sign‑off

    Speed tests at the property, Starlink app set up, you're trained on the basics.

/ Questions

Frequently asked.

Do I buy the Starlink kit or do you supply it?+

Most customers buy direct from starlink.com — you get the kit straight from SpaceX and pay your monthly subscription directly. We install whatever variant you provide (Standard, Mini, High Performance or Flat High Performance). If you'd prefer us to procure it, we can do that too — adds a small handling fee.

Can Starlink actually replace my BT/Openreach broadband?+

Yes, for most rural and many urban customers. Typical speeds are 100–250 Mbps down / 10–30 Mbps up — better than rural ADSL or rural 4G in most cases. Reliability is excellent now the constellation is mature. The only real catches: it's not symmetric like fibre and ping is slightly higher (30–50 ms vs 10–20 ms on fibre), but for browsing, calls, streaming and most cloud work it's indistinguishable.

Can Starlink run alongside my existing broadband as failover?+

Yes — that's one of the most popular installs for us. We pair it with a dual‑WAN business router (typically a TP‑Link Omada ER‑series) so if your primary broadband drops, traffic automatically routes via Starlink with no manual intervention. Great for businesses that genuinely can't afford downtime.

Will my roof be damaged by the install?+

We use professional non‑penetrating mounts on most installs (weighted base, no holes drilled). Where penetration is genuinely unavoidable, we use proper UV‑rated sealant and lead flashing — same standard as a satellite TV install. Nothing gets drilled without your explicit agreement.

Can you install Starlink on a caravan, motorhome or holiday let?+

Yes. We do mobile installs with a proper pole mount or roof rack mount, dedicated cable management and the Standard or Mini dish as appropriate. For holiday lets we set up a guest network with bandwidth limits to protect your usage and keep guests off your main systems.

Will Starlink work at my exact address?+

Almost certainly — Starlink coverage is universal across the UK. The real question is whether your sky view is clear enough (tall trees, hills, neighbouring buildings can block it). We do a proper sky‑view assessment as part of the quote — official Starlink Obstruction Tool plus our own onsite check — so you know for certain before you commit.
