It's not something Sky do. The dish and cables became your property on installation.

Any local handyperson, but keep in mind that making good and redecorating after removal is typically rather more time-consuming and consequently expensive than the initial cable removal (which is a good reason why Sky doesn't do it)

 

As @Daniel0210 indicates, Sky satellite television contracts transfer dish and cable ownership to the householder on installation specifically so that Sky isn't now responsible for tens of millions of instances.
