Professionally Mounted
The Starlink dish needs a clear sky view and a secure fixing point. Mark assesses your property and mounts the dish correctly first time – chimney, wall, roof or ground mount depending on what suits your building.
How It Works
A straightforward process from first call to final test
1
Site Assessment
Mark visits your property and checks the sky view using the Starlink app to confirm clear line of sight. He’ll identify the best mounting position and discuss cable routing options before any work begins.
2
Dish Mounting
The Starlink dish is mounted securely at the agreed position – chimney stack, external wall, roof or ground mount. Mark uses quality fixings appropriate to your property type and ensures the dish is correctly angled for optimal signal.
3
Cable Routing & Router Setup
The cable is routed neatly into the property and connected to the Starlink router. Mark positions the router for best whole-home coverage and configures the network, including your WiFi name and password.
4
Speed Test & Handover
Once everything is connected Mark runs a full speed test to confirm the system is performing correctly. He’ll walk you through the basics of the Starlink app and answer any questions before leaving.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Starlink installation in Cornwall
Do I need planning permission to install Starlink in Cornwall?
In most cases no planning permission is required for a Starlink dish on a residential property. It falls under permitted development in the same way as a satellite dish. Listed buildings and properties in conservation areas may have restrictions - Mark will advise if this applies to your property during the site assessment.
Can you mount the Starlink dish on a chimney or roof?
Yes - chimney mounting, wall mounting, roof mounting and ground mounting are all options depending on your property layout and the best sky view position. Mark will assess your property and recommend the most suitable fixing method before starting work.
Do you supply the Starlink hardware or do I need to order it myself?
Starlink hardware is ordered directly through the Starlink website by the customer before the installation appointment. Mark installs and configures the equipment you have received. He can advise you on which kit to order if you are unsure.
How fast is Starlink in rural Cornwall?
Typical speeds in West Cornwall range from 50Mbps to 220Mbps depending on conditions and network demand. This is significantly faster than most rural fixed-line broadband in the area and more than sufficient for streaming, video calls and remote working.
How long does a Starlink installation take?
Most standard Starlink installations take between 2 and 4 hours depending on the complexity of the cable routing and mounting position. Mark will give you an estimated time when you book.
Will Starlink work in bad weather?
Starlink performs well in most weather conditions including rain and wind. Heavy snow sitting on the dish can temporarily affect signal - the dish has a built-in heating function to melt light snow accumulation. Performance during severe storms may occasionally dip but generally recovers quickly.
Can Starlink replace my existing broadband completely?
Yes - many customers in rural Cornwall use Starlink as their sole internet connection with no fixed-line service at all. It handles streaming, video calls, smart home devices and remote working without issue. A standard router is included with the Starlink kit.
Is Starlink suitable for a holiday let or second home?
Yes - Starlink is an excellent solution for holiday lets and second homes in rural Cornwall where reliable broadband is often unavailable. The system can be paused and reactivated as needed through the Starlink app, making it cost-effective for seasonal use.
