The problem is that the satellite might be out of view, just barely,

At this time of year the sun is roughly in the same position as the
constellation of satellites for Freesat/Sky etc about 0920 GMT (1020
BST)(*). Anywhere that is clearly sunlit at that time should be able
to see the satellites. Dish mounts do let you peek a dish around a
corner.

It's a very very close thing, but there is one (only one) other dish
along the whole length of the street i.e. in about 100 rear-facing
flats.
So either possible, or the dish owner has been disappointed.

Might have to build a contraption to space the dish away from the wall.
