I have an old sky satellite dish from previous house owners it needs to be removed as it is dangerous and may cause injury or damage

@Lynn68-

Sky don't remove dishes. The dish ownership transferred to the customer on installation and has now transferred to you.

A local satellite company should remove it for you at your expense.

@Lynn68- also any handyman that's comfortable with working on a ladder can remove it for you. It doesn't require a specialist. The dish is only live when connected to a Sky box (and even then voltage is very low).

Unfortunately, as @Daniel0210 indicated above, the potential liability for that is yours. Sky satellite television contracts were carefully written so they aren't now responsible for many millions of soon-to-be obsolete dishes installed over the past four decades
