Answer
How do I choose a good Starlink installer?
Choose someone who can explain a safe, practical installation for your particular property, rather than simply offering to put the dish as high as possible.
Ask about:
- Experience with your Starlink hardware generation.
- How the proposed position will be checked for obstructions.
- Access equipment and protection of the building.
- The mount, supporting structure and intended fixings.
- Cable routing and weatherproofing.
- Insurance, workmanship cover and what the invoice includes.
- Testing and handover after installation.
Provide photographs and a description of the property before seeking a firm quote. A useful response should identify uncertainty that needs a survey rather than making unsupported promises about speed or coverage.
Ask how the equipment could be maintained or removed later. A location that is difficult to reach may create recurring costs.
Our recommendation is to compare the written scope as closely as the price. Do not accept a speed guarantee based solely on the installer's experience at another property.
