Does Sky ever come and remove the satellite dishes once you change to fibre? I suspect not but thought I'd ask.

No, it's your property after installation.

Changing your broadband to fibre doesn't negate the need for a satellite dish for your TV service, unless you have also switched that from Sky Q to Sky Stream.

@Tansley1

Sky satellite television contracts transfer dish and dish cable ownership to the householder on installation specifically so that Sky isn't now responsible for tens of millions of the things installed over nearly four decades.
