    DIY not really your strong point is it.

    Netting is more effective for preventing birds nesting on your chimney stack.

    It is supposed to be the job of an expert so I have been told by a mate.

    He said they were right muppets.

    I would of thought its supposed to have 2 brackets.

    I have never seen a sat dish mounted on a mast. I would have thought the swaying of a mast would lead to a poor signal, which is why every one I have seen has been fixed to masonry. I am not an expert though.

    Stack looks like it could with a bit of pointing too.;)

    That high up would surely need panning permission and a more secure fitting.

    The dish bracket should have been mounted directly to the chimney stack, any movement of the dish will render it useless resulting in a No Signal scenario.

    Bodge it and scarper job.:D

    If that chimney is in use several things could occur - not least a backdraught problem ;)

    The cable entry into the flashing doesn't look all that waterproof either !!
