My name is Mike, and I’ve been working in the Southern Lakes region since 2014, specialising in internet installations and rural connectivity solutions.
I provide professional Starlink installation, setup, and optimisation for homes, holiday properties, rural sites, and architecturally designed homes across the region. I specialise in custom installations that not only perform exceptionally well but also complement the design of your home.
Unlike standard installers, I carry more than 10 specialised, custom-made roof mounting solutions designed to suit a wide range of roof types and withstand the challenging weather and high winds common throughout the Southern Lakes area. Every installation is completed with long-term reliability and weather protection in mind. For larger homes or properties where Wi-Fi coverage is important, I can also install enterprise-grade hardwired networking solutions to ensure fast, reliable internet reaches every room.
We differentiate between standard Starlink installs and premium private installations depending on property complexity.
Basic Starlink setup for simple homes with straightforward roof access and minimal cable routing.
For larger or complex homes requiring careful planning, better aesthetics and improved performance.
A custom-designed Starlink mounts, Highly recommended for alpine tray, Euro tray, multi-level or architecturally designed homes.
Optimised setups for farms, large sections and remote Southern Lakes properties.
Standard Starlink installations are designed for basic, straightforward setups only.
They typically involve:
• Mounting the dish on the first suitable roof batten using a ladder (single-storey only unless pre-approved)
• Running the cable to the nearest power socket
• Sealing the entry point
• External cable run using clips
• Connecting router and confirming internet connection
For homes with complex roofing systems (such as alpine tray or euro tray), multi-storey access, or architectural design features, a private installation is strongly recommended for better reliability, aesthetics and long-term performance. Having worked in the region for many years, I've seen many technicians come and go. A significant part of my work now involves repairing poorly installed systems left behind by others. I believe in doing the job properly the first time—using secure mounting methods that prevent dishes from coming loose in strong winds, while ensuring your roof remains fully weatherproof with no leaks.
