Scaffolders moved my dish
Can I get it realigned for free?

If you are having reception issues then you should be able to get an engineer out to re-align the dish.
You can book an engineer here:

@Wibbly-Woo Unlikely if it was moved by other tradesmen. There will likely be a charge for sky coming out (all you can do is call and see) and the same if you used an independent.

It won't be free.

They re-aligned my dish for free after our scaffolders whacked the dish during some exterior work a few years ago. Once the scaffolding was down I contacted Sky, an engineer came and did the re-alignment in a matter of minutes - no charge.

The dish doesn't need reinstalling - just pointing at the satellite - the scaffolders knocked it out of alignment and the signal is dodgy (BBC1 totally gone - others keep on breaking up)

If the scaffolders knocked it out of alignment then the scaffolders need to foot the bill for getting an engineer out to realign the satellite dish if asthe call out is not free.
As @Padam_Padam stated the scaffolding was removed before he called a Sky engineer so no evidence of it being whacked by a scaffolder then
