To ask neighbour to remove sat dish?

Just walked out of my door thus morning and noticed a freaking satellite dish attached to the front of our house!! I've come to work to calm down a bit but I can't believe the brass neck! Would I be unreasonable to go around and ask them to remove it and make good the holes?? What if they decline??

Jeanne I understood none of your last post Confused

Glad it's sorted.

FWIW the note was fine except I'd have said 'make good any holes' rather than 'huge' or in expectation of them.

@Jeane

To clarify. Sometimes you merely have to think a little. To avoid a confrontation then find out the facts. So rather than confront the neighbour directly contact the company first, in case it has nothing to do with the neighbour.

If you RTFT, Jeane, you would have seen that another poster said they once rang Sky about a dish on their property, and Sky told them they couldn't talk to her because she wasn't the account holder. They said she would have to ask the homeowner to call Sky, and couldn't even tell her which house was the account holder.

So your advice, days late, is shit. You merely have to read a little.

I can't believe how stroppy, rude and ill mannered some people are. Upbringing, I suppose.

As anyone who has ever had any dealings with Sky will know, they are completely useless. It doesn't surprise me at all that they fitted a dish to the wrong house.

Just have a sensible, civil, adult conversation with the neighbours and give them reasonable opportunity to get Sky's numpties to sort it out.

Or, how about ... don't confront the neighbour, just speak to them face to face and ask them for their side of the story?

Why the hell would you go to a company (which btw we didn't actually know it was specifically a Sky dish, it could have been many companies) and jump through hoops only to be told that as it's not your account they can't do anything, when you could just knock on the neighbours door and have a 2 minute conversation first?!

They are Accrington bricks if I am not mistaken? closet brick loverThey will have damaged the protective cost.
Sky should make good the damage.
