New LNB install price

[zfa]

Hi guys,

Going to be visiting family in the UK shortly and they want me to set them up with a couple of zgemmas. Property has an old Sky dish on it but I'm going to want to get someone to come and install a quad LNB and run some extra cable (only need to run cable to the one new room, existing dual cable already in place to primary location). What kind of price would you expect to pay for this?

Won't be able to do it myself as I'll have no tools or anything, not even a drill.

the area in the UK will make a massive difference to price,
ie, London is going to be a LOT more expensive than perhaps Newcastle

as is building type,
a 3 storey townhouse will be different to a small 2 bed bungalow,
way too little info tbh

Bungalow, North Wales.

its not far from me, but i could get you a guy a lot closer,
north Wales, Rhyl area?

Yep, Prestatyn area. Just looking for a rough guide to be honest before I even decide what to do there.

I'll bang a text off to my mate, ask him for a rough price.

Cheers, much appreciated.

If you can reach the dish with a step ladder you could do it yourself, the LNB's are only held on with 1 screw and then slide off, as for running cable, that's easy as its just drilling a hole through the wall and feeding it in.

a friend local to me(mid wales border) upgraded his open box to a twin tuner zgemma , he had installed a quad lnb and ran a twin cable (holes in the wall where there but needed extending) for around 10m of cable total, was charged £45, but it was cash in hand and he was across the road installing an aerial at the time(hence he got collared for the job). unsure what it would have been if he'd come out specially for it.

it'd be cheaper to buy a drill
