If you have only the Mobile service, the team will just be needing your new address.

Then, you can sign in to your account, and update your mobile address.

Now the Procedure!

These procedures and costs are categorized below are based on the product and subscription plan.

Sky Moving Home Procedure

1. Sky Q Move Home

The product that offers multi-room viewing, multi-device viewing, and records various channels can be brought to your new home upon your move.

Remember your moving date, new address, and postcode since Sky will be needing this information.

And don’t forget to clear any outstanding balance that you need to give to the Company. Remember that your TV may not work properly upon setting up at your new home.

In that scenario, it is better to take the help of the Engineer of the Company.

Quick Fact

The fee for Sky TV installation is  £35 on weekday installation and the rate is £50 on weekends.

Before moving to a new flat make sure you are aware of the rules of the building and the locality.

Activate the broadband before having the Sky Q installed in your new home.

If you miss the appointment or replacing the schedule on the day or the day before the appointment, you will be charged £25 upon your next bill.

2. Sky+ or Sky+HD move home

Get the Sky+ or +HD experience into your new homes by following the guidelines set for moving.

Similar to the previous product, you can’t have this running even if you have the dish and cables installed at your new house. 

There are two options for this:

• Self setup 
• Engineer visit.

There are particular information you will need to prepare, including the address of the new residence with the postal code, if you opt for the self setup.

But we advise you to make the installation done by the right specialists to have peace of mind.

Further, the installation by the company comes with a 90 days warranty.

They are the specialist and they know their dish, cables better than you.

So, if something goes wrong, expect them to replace or fix it without any additional charges.

3. Sky Broadband Moving Home

Before Moving 

For shifting Sky broadband home you need to provide the company with these details

1. Your new address
2. Zipcode
3. Moving date

Also, make sure to clear any outstanding payments that need to be paid to the company before the move.

Upon learning about your new address, the team from the Company will check the availability of Sky Broadband products.

Furthermore, they will also advise whether you will need an engineer to visit and handle the installation of new sockets and phone lines.

You also will have to stay alert of questions when you would want to activate the services.

They will then organize changes in the package, giving you a new phone number when needed. Everything will reflect on your web account.

The letter saying that you are leaving the company for their services is just for formality, and all else will run smoothly.

Billing during the Move

It is also a protocol for the provider to stop your Broadband and Talk services in your former address, and completely find you a new one in your new location. 

There will be no extra charges at this point.

If you are a Mobile subscriber of the Company, the service will continue and will not stop even if you move house.

The Contract

Sky Mobile only

Many subscribers only use the Mobile-only plan. To initiate and complete the move, the process remains the same.

You just need to provide the company with your move date, new address with postcode. 

Remember, the mobile service comes under the category of continuous service and hence it will work even you move to a new address.

Moreover, you will also need to clear and settle any outstanding balance on your account.
