Satworks Set to Become Starlink Broadband’s Sole UK Installation Partner

Independent satellite installation company Satworks, which is based in Bolton and Blackburn and has around 180 engineers across the country, has announced that they’ve signed an agreement with Starlink’s (SpaceX) broadband service to become its “sole installation partner throughout the United Kingdom” – effective from later next month.

According to the announcement, this agreement will take effect from 16th August 2026 and will see Satworks manage Starlink installations across the UK through its nationwide network of trained installation engineers for homes and businesses in both urban and rural areas. The agreement is said to “reinforce the company’s position as one of the UK’s leading satellite installation specialists“.

The deal follows six months of trials involving Satworks and four other installation companies. “Satworks was selected as the sole UK partner based on its performance, quality of work and ability to deliver installations consistently on a national scale,” said the statement.

Just to be clear. Most residential installations don’t strictly need a professional Starlink installation as it’s designed to be a relatively easy thing to set up, but if you do want it done properly (e.g. safely mounted on a roof) then Satworks sound like the company that will now be employed to deliver on that.

However, it’s worth remembering that this does NOT mean to say Satworks is taking over all things Starlink in the UK, since Starlink also still has a wide network of specialist resellers that can handled bespoke setups and deployments for specific applications.

Starlink itself currently has around 10,880 satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) – mostly at altitudes of between c.340-550km. Residential customers in the UK currently pay from £40 a month for the Residential 100Mbps unlimited data plan, which also promises uploads of c.15-35Mbps and low latency connectivity (c.20ms). Faster packages exist at greater cost, while more restrictive (data capped) options also exist for roaming users (e.g. £55 per month for 100GB of data).
